    Who is active here

    The closest snooker table to me is a 10 footer, but out of our group there's one guy that regularly gets into the 60's and 70's; he will beat you in one visit if you leave him a shot. I don't know how well he'd play on a 12 footer, but I bet his speed would still be considered very sporty. My...

    Cushion Profile Dynamics

    I don't have an answer for you as to why but the Riley Aristocrat that I play on has the same rail profile as you've mentioned (also has the steel cushion blocks). If I were you I would register at SnookerForums.com and ask the same question.

    Snooker rules questions.

    Okay, I just got off the horn with Barry--he said Cheers, by the way--and he said you are correct about the rules. He went further and said the new dress code would be sweat pants, dirty baseball cap, and a t-shirt at least 1 size too large. Seriously, they also had a variation of snooker...

    It has been brought to my attention

    Ultraskins are the only tips I use. The Medium is perfect. I even put them on my snooker cues. Shoot, even my friends have them on their snooker cues. I'm glad you posted as I need to order more soon.

    I've been hoping one of these will spring up in the KCKS KCMO area.

    Champion prize $150,000USD

    Appleton won 1st a couple of years ago--beat snooker's reigning World Number One Mark Selby for $98K. Shaw came in 3rd earlier this year for somewhere around $40K. I think there might be two separate tournaments: one for Joy and one for Star. I cannot remember which ones Appleton and Shaw...

    The European Masters 2017

    The commentators mentioned Stuart Bingham's new cue before his S/F match and I happened to notice that he's wearing a McDermott patch. So I asked uncle google, and sure enough, his new cue is a McDermott. Are American billiard companies sponsoring snooker players now? Good news if they are.

    Pool Hall Photos From All Over.

    [/IMG] [/IMG 2 beautiful virtually unused tables in the middle of the USA. We left home Saturday noon and got home 5am Sunday morning and enjoyed every minute spent on these. Billiards Sports Plaza in Wichita KS is an interesting place, and well worth a visit.

    Corey Going Back To School

    https://youtu.be/Km2rhvyv-hg Most of you have probably seen this: its Corey playing Chinese 8 ball against one of C8B's best players. And Corey is shooting STRONG. This is worth a watch.

    Best American Chinese 8 ball Player?

    I'd go Corey. And don't forget Bergman. Seriously, I watched Bergman make a 10ball clearance at Shooters on a ten foot snooker table. That is not an easy thing to do. And, although I believe Shane is thinking about retiring, and not putting in the grueling %1000 percent that he used to, he has...

    Pool vs Snooker

    Good God. Sanchez is beastly. He's surely ranked in the world top 3. Holy Jesus, so I posted the above while watching the match, and Caudron came back from 18 behind. Wow. That was the best 3C I've ever seen as well.

    Amazing safety sequence from snooker WC

    I believe that those were 4 point fouls. Mark got 4 points each time John missed a red. If John would have hit a red and then had an in-off or scratch, that would be 4 points for Mark as well.

    My first 147 while practicing Snooker!(with poolcue)

    Awesome break! Even better with the camera rolling. How much taller is a snooker table than a pool table?

    This is what I did as well. Very effective for no extra cost.

    Not ManyTop U.S players At 8 B WPM

    Barry Hearn's answer to snooker and snooker player's whinging. The WPS is styling the game in such a way that it is actually challenging. No bar-box packages. No gimmees. The Chinese 8 ball tournament is reporting that next year's prize money will double. And I guarantee that they aren't...

    I got banned..................

    Is Fast Lenny the guy that put on the DO-SF 1p event? That stream was flawless. Someone needs to give Darren and the WPS guys Lenny's number. Serious.
