    Today's top snooker players: which ones will give pool a go as their career fades?

    I was drooling when Steve and Jimmy started dabbling in pool.

    best all around player ever

    I'm gonna cop a load of flak for this, but just my 2 cents. I don't know if its the hardest cue sport there is, as I've not played every cuesport known to man. But I've played a lot of snooker (12ft tables) and a lot of pool (all table sizes) and one thing I can say for sure is that snooker is...

    best all around player ever

    Yup, he came to my mind, too. But few people under 60 will have heard about English Billiards, sadly. Wonder how he played pool.

    best all around player ever

    Some ppl are making a case for Ronnie O'Sullivan here: http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=202496 Arguably the best snooker player ever and I bet he'd beat 99.5% of all challengers at any pool variant.

    7-ball?

    Anyone here play 7-ball regularly? Has anyone played in a 7-ball tournament? Maybe even a 7-ball league? Just curious. I've hardly ever seen the game played, and only once by top players - as a part of a series of matches between Billiards Hall of Famers in 1983, currently showing on ESPN...

    Soccer or Pool

    Heart: Netherlands, Denmark, Switzerland, Japan Head: Brazil, Germany It looks like the US has joined the big league in soccer, and one can sense it's getting bigger here. But there's a long way to go until it's big like it is elsewhere in the world. I don't really care much for either sport...

    Which "Less Popular Pocket Billiard Games" do you like the most?

    I've only played one of those, cut-throat. Another game that could have made your list is bar billiards, but I've never heard of it being played here.

    English vs. english vs. side spin

    I was raised with side, topspin, and screw-back. Plus stun and drag shots. I like left-hand side, right-hand side, running side, and check side.

    Scott Lee

    Scott came by about 3 weeks ago. He was professional, polite, businesslike, and friendly. He adapted without issue to the conditions he found himself in. I'm not going to go into detail about what Scott said or did - employ his services if you want to know more :) - but suffice to say Scott...

    Aiming Systems Of All Kinds..Just don't Work
