Forget polishing, apparently rolling them in glitter is the way to go... That's a nice cue, if it plays well and looks as good as it does, then who cares where it came from (unless you're just into the research), refreshing to read about someone not blindly indulging in brand snobbery. Good post :)

Nicely done, Caught me at least 1 level above where I was expecting :smile: BR

Hello. A fine looking cue. I hope it helps take the edge off your terrible loss. BR

Just fyi, pooladdict, that avatar picture is horrendous....

Hello all. So to play devils advocate a little. You put the 1st bridge as per the picture on the 1st page (Oscar D?) then a 2nd bridge at 90 degrees to it, shaft on the rail, head just over the 1st bridge's shaft, hold the 2nd bridge down firmly, then place your cue on the 2nd bridge's head...

Hello. I've played a fair bit of snooker and watched more, I can't be bothered to scroll back and look who, but they're correct, there aren't any rules about chalk on rails, but definitely there are about marking the table, which would be handy sometimes with the size of the table & the lack of...

Excellent. Top marks to SVB for taking time to make someone's day. Character.

Hello. I had not watched this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJWBthmM4DI Some interesting stuff, and some similarities to some of the newer videos I've seen. Enjoyable.

Hello again Dr Dave. On snooker tables the line drawn across the table through the head spot (the head string) is usually referred to as the baulk line (pronounced balk as in the game) and being "in the kitchen" usually referred to as "being in baulk". A lot of UK guys and snooker players...

To be honest I half expected to see the same. A good resource thanks Dr Dave. On a completely different note (and apologies to all for the none pool related reading time expended) but Mr MNOTDUN if that's your car in the gif it's a thing of beauty.

Hello, From the original question I think (for what that's worth) that as per some of the earlier posts a lot is down to the availability of Ash & Maple respectively coupled to the fact that they're "right" for the task at hand. On the more unusual timbers front I seem to remember reading about...

Jerry Forsythe, Jay Helfert, Dr Dave, Bob Jewett, Hawaiian Eye, PT109, Justin Bergman Mortuary Mike In no particular order, a. I reckon the stories / games would be great. b. I'd be bound to learn some good stuff.....

Hello Jerry. If it's any consolation you spelled my Chinese fiancee's name perfectly when you autographed her program at the Mosconi Cup last Dec', thank you, she loved it. From memory if it's in letters you can read (not Characters) then it's written in pinyin, which most people in China...

As mentioned earlier (Ok, my apologies if this has been discussed previously, but I didn't see it.) I hadn't seen the other thread. Had I then it would have saved a lot of submissions, but it seems to have provided some entertainment / kept a few people busy for a few minutes so it can't be...

That should have read Canadians / USA, not north Americans, yet another continental faux pas and still in the same thread, oh the repercussions..... Apologies....

Indeed, being a resident of the UK I am aware of most of the above, it was just a random thought that sprang to mind, nothing more nothing less! As I believe was mentioned earlier. And as regards the "water" / borders reference, truth be known a lot of the UK's residents don't tend to regard...

That seems a sensible answer. I've no problem at all in figuring out what Europe comprises of, just was interested if the Brexit thing was likely to affect anything. If the competition remains as stated then it shouldn't be.....

Hmm, from memory there is some water between the UK and the rest of Europe, I'm fairly sure current maps reflect that, and the initial question wasn't strictly of a geographical nature (I could have brought up google maps just as quick as AZ), but thanks for the input nonetheless. erm "End of"...

Yeah, that sounds about right. Matchroom from memory is Barry Hearne, who's a UK guy, it would seem odd for it to continue if the UK wasn't involved. Looking forward to it... Regards,
