Quinten, you should take 3 weeks and learn 14.1, 10-Ball and One-Pocket. It would earn you a lot of money if you have as much skill as you boast. It would be quite the adrenaline rush beating John at his own games. It might even be better than racing motorcyles and skydiving.
Or go take down the World Ten Ball Championship in Manila in September-October this year then people might even start spelling your name correctly.

Drone... This is why this thread is sooo long.
QH has laid down the challenge and it is 30k 8 ball.... JS can choose table cloth and have the game in his back yard. It is a simple yes or no????

My Bad, but isn't Selby a snooker specialist. Are you saying he could beat Quinten at 8-Ball. I'll admit, Quinten does play 8-ball very well, he proved that in the IPT.
If it happened tomorrow......
Selby would almost certainly beat Hann at snooker.
Hann would almost certainly beat Selby at American 8 ball (Selby has never played it).
It would be a coin toss at uk style 8 ball, but a fantastic match to watch (they have both won the World Championship in the past and both play exciting aggressive pool).
I think The Hustler knows all this very well

selby would be 65% fav at snooker over a longer distance
he is on a big roll and his game has gone up a level recently, there has been a big transition in snooker since i left
he would be marginal fav at english pool as you need a very small cue to play that game plus he plays regulary, im guessing he uses the same cue for snooker as he does for english 8 ball which is a huge advantage. and i only used a good cue in the first 2 world titles i particapated in then i changed to a larger tipped snooker cue which was no good for english pool so my game dropped alot. if i kept playing with my original cue more than one comp a year i believe i would have been the best player in the game and won more than 1 world title, but its all pie in the sky selby has done great things in the last few years my hats off to him and he would be fav at english 8 ball no doubt.
and i would be a good fav at all american disiplines
toughest match i could have playing all games and i would not want it as i have not played english 8 ball or snooker for years, against anyone but a world beater id still be fav at these games but not a top pro playing all the time, and with this bet i would have to start playing snooker and english pool again when i only want to play american pool in future.
dont underestimate selby playing any american game for the first time he is one top snooker player who could make a transition to top class pool most top pros cant when lower ranked pros can its hard to explain but its true. with as much confidence as he has now i would not be suprised if he did not miss anything in a shorter race to say 9 racks as the pockets to him would look like goal posts
Quinten, you've just said you'd be a strong fave at all American disciplines so why not try them all? I would've thought you'd do well at straight pool, after all how often do you have to break reds away from the pack when you're building a break with the black in snooker? To me it's a similar thing.
If you offered John a mix of 8 ball & 14.1 I'd like to see that, that way you'd both get a game you like.

If I was to pick a horse for an all around that included snooker, it would have to be Drago. He has the heart of a lion and he plays all games well. On another note my old practice partner from Ireland Terry Murphy quit snooker a few years ago but I would love to see more guys like him spend some time in the states as he makes balls as good as anybody but the snooker circuit is brutal as a full time job. He stuck at it for over 10 years but he could never get that big breakthrough and this was a guy who has hit over 100 147 breaks. Quentin I was playing junior snooker at the same time you were and I always thought it was strange that you seemed to drift in and out of the game because you played fantastic snooker, but I guess not everybody can totally engross themselves into the game, I know I couldn't. Hopefully you will play something in the future.

drago is good but not that good i think there would be better snooker players at pool he just happens to play alot when most snooker players dont.
i only ever made 2 147 breaks in my whole career but i know alot of snooker pros over there made many terry was a good player he could play great in streaks but i think he liked his guiness a little too much eh. he was a nice guy i hope he is doing well
im sure i played him once but i cant remember who won?
Selby would absolutely destroy Drago in snooker and UK 8 ball, his achievements in both disciplines far exceed Drago's
maybe Drago wins American pool due to experience but I doubt it
If Selby didn't run into Higgins last year, he wins the world snooker title, Higgins was just too strong that day, by the time Selby fought back to get back into the match you could tell he was mentally drained

We went to school together and started playing at the same time, I think once he moved to England he thought he had made it a little too soon and started living the lifestyle but he had all the talent in the world. I will be back in Northern Ireland in a couple of months so maybe I will see if he wants to play me some 9-ball and I will clock his speed and see if he can break worth a crap!! Maybe Drago isn't the best choice but I think I said that because I would love to see him in a matchup like this. Just to let you know Quentin I have never lost to Ronnie (played him in the 1990 UK under-18 championships and beat him 3-1). He was only about 14 at the time though!chamillionare said:
consider what Selby has achieved at the age of 24, world title and #1 ranking in UK 8 ball, #3 ranking in snooker and finals runner up
pretty spectacular imo

Yes agreed.
I felt he was overated a few months ago but have ben made to eat my words.
QH seems to agree with me that Selby would be the toughest challenge. I think UK TV should jump on this.
3 months American Pool practice and that will be a hell of a contest.
It's a shame there are no Americans who can compete with the snooker side.
What I am getting from this thread is that QH started this whole thing on a whim one day (claiming to miss cueing up a bit) and it came across wrong, hence bringing out the dark side
