I like Earl’s new insanity.

[David in FL]

I had a 12’ snooker table at home for 7 yrs., until I couldn’t take it anymore and replaced it with a 9’ pool table. Absolutely love snooker but gave up playing it full time, too much work and already have a job.

Occasionally played 8 ball on it with full size pool balls. Lots of fun, safety play was a big factor, balls barely fit in the opening.

Pro pool on 6x12? Interesting idea but maybe just play snooker?

Snooker on the snooker table made more sense in the end!

I have a photo of Eva playing on what appears to be a 8x16 or 9x18 table in Australia or something? No idea why or where but looked like a hoot!

My buddies and I play with full size balls on a snooker table on occasion too. It's a blast.

But good grief, for us mere mortals it's tough!

love that strachan cloth,
if you ever have a chance to play snooker or chinese 8 on the top of the line tournament cloths, you will forever dislike simonis

Back to Earl, he remains a peach!

Must have been a fascinating topic. Hmmm ...

A friend who’s and excellent player told me if you want to remember what it was like when you were first playing and couldn’t put 3 balls together play 9 ball with regular balls on a snooker table.. it will humble you in a hurry lol

I once frequented a room that ran a regular golf ring-game on a 10’ (Brunswick) snooker table, using pool balls. Very entertaining. It obviously had standard billiard cloth also, as British style directional cloth (typical for 12’ tables) would have been noticeable. I can imagine how frustrating that game would have been on an English 12 footer (over-hitting to beat the slow roll-off, with the result of balls bobbling out of the pockets or leaping the rails).

The pool hall I grew up in stayed open based on the daily golf game 10ft Brunswick Snooker table. 6 people on table time at once from 12 to 5, all eating and drinking.

Earl has some thought provoking ideas, but he has been saying the same thing for years. It isn't really worth watching any new interviews of him because he says the same things over and over- 9 ball is too lucky, straight pool is the best pool game, and pool should be played on huge tables- either a 5 by 10 or 6 by 12.
