Introduction.

Thanks for the membership folks. I live in England and just looking to get into English pool, and maybe join an over 60s league in my area. To be honest I wish American pool had taken off in England as it looks so much more fun, on the bigger table and balls. I'll have lots of questions for my English friends. Best wishes to all and keep safe in these times. Richard.

Welcome to the forum. I can't wait till I can visit England. I'm looking forward to trying an English pool table. And English beer, while I'm trying English pool.

I gather how the English pockets are cut make some shots you do on your tables very difficult over here. But our middle pockets are easier for you, this is only what have been told, not first hand.

What kind of pool are you talking about? Most Eng. pool i've seen is the bar-box size tables that use snooker size balls. There is also the GB9 9ball tour that uses regulation American style 4.5x9 big tables.

English pool in the leagues play on a 7' table with balls a size smaller than US pool, but bigger than the 6' tables found in bars. Or so I'm informed?
