Pretty neat exhibition match. Thanks for that! There's a samurai-looking fellow playing right now, and he's not too patient nor very handy with the rest!

This happened to me once before. The guy was an utter twit so I had a word with the owner, who I've known for years, and the guy was thrown out in less than 2 minutes. I wouldn't have a problem if he asked sincerely and offered to buy me a few drinks, then I'd be willing to relinquish the table...

Indeed, Super Bowl was the driving force behind why the streaming sites were seized. What I don't get is, even if the streams are down, what television set in the United States would not be able to watch Super Bowl anyway? It's everywhere and it's not like a special high-def PPV subscription...

I'm also a snooker traditionalist and I welcome this event for the new generation of snooker. The sport has been dying painfully since the robotic precision of Stephen Hendry took over the sport-- no more Jimmy White or Alex Higgins characters-- and I see Shootout and Power Snooker as attempts...

There are many full matches on YouTube that span high breaks and delicate safety bouts. Like you, I'm also a fan of a balanced game and I relish tactical match play-- it's a true indication of experience and sound judgment to be able to have such fine control of the white. The matches are there...

I recommend you try out whatever works for you; try everthing you see, it doesn't cost a thing! Where pool is concerned, I see a lot of guys using incredibly awkward-looking stances where their bodies are twisted to face away from the direction of shooting and their legs are shaped stiff like a...

Neil Robertson vs. Alan McManus http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AA_uQMe6wo BACKGROUND CHECK At 11:53, spot the spectator wearing-- wait for it--... an Edmonton Oilers sweatshirt :D

(pardon that this is snooker, but it's etiquette all around) My rules: Don't chalk during my opponent's turn Stay still if I am in my opponent's line of sight when he is shooting Never concede the frame while it isn't my turn Don't chalk over the cloth Formalities: Shake hands before the start...

Well-played! Your eye glasses remind me of something Dennis Taylor used to wear.

There's no sense in picking up an expensive cue if you are starting off in snooker. Ideally, you'll want a really bland, neutral-playing cue with no substantial characteristics. It will help in building your fundamentals (stance, grip, stroke, white control); later on you will feel like you've...

Knowing your location may be nice as well. I could talk to my friend about relinquishing his old cue after he bought a new on a few months ago. It was a good beginner cue, but you need to let us know your location.

Pardond my being rat-arsed at the moment (quite kloaded with amaretto guinness at the moment(), but onee mate had a cue made by Peradon (Cannon, actaually) while another made by Craftsman and both exhibityed signs of warpage after a month of play. You are right in that cue makers in England...

One other thing, being that snooker cues are quite delicate, Canadian-made cues are desirable because they are made from well-weathered timbers. I've known some players whose expensive English-made cues warped to bloody oblivion when brought over to Canada because they couldn't withstand the...

Dufferin snooker used to be made in a factory in Toronto, but are now made in China. There are many small private cue makers spotted around the country, but not as many as there used to be during snooker's heyday. Furthermore, very rarely these days will you find a cuemaker with a lathe long...

I saw an Aristocrat floating around in Toronto private ad listings, practically new, for $6'000 + crate/installation. Owner was quite wealthy and had to sell it quickly because he was moving out of country. Truly, you'll never know what can show up!

He won gold at the 2010 Asian Games over Ding Junhui in an interesting match, so I feel he's in solid form lately. He just needed a breakthrough opportunity to bring him back into the spotlight.

Maybe I'm just really odd, but I'd invite the technician to dinner with the family, a relative's party, bat mitzvah, wedding, thanksgiving, and so forth. Make him feel right at home and sociable.

Thanks oldzilla 3:20 into the video. The orange into the corner pocket that got spat out by the table is exactly why I think these black plastic pocket liners used for American pool tables are completely and utterly absurd! I think they should be replaced with a mesh net or ball catcher from...

Now I know what I'm going to be playing next time I'm down at the club. :D

I've been getting this quit a lot because, coming from snooker, it's a force of habit to play a safety if I don't fancy some absurdly extravagant pot. Quite difficult to reason with the young players that safeties are an important asset to have...
