I asked this same thing is the Ask an Instructor section and got quite a few non-comical responses. I've tried the full-on square and its just painful to me. I was linked to a snooker forum that has some great instruction and i found a not-so-severe stance that works fine. Kind of a part pool-part snooker style. Here's the snooker site: http://www.thesnookerforum.co.uk/board/forums/11-Coaching-Questions Great site for all things snooker.

whats wrong with just doing whats comfortable for you, and shoot
It really is a shame that so many 'new' people are singing the same butt hurt song and causing such friction on what is the greatest pool gathering in the world.
Oh, and they all have full green? I wish we could see the feedback rec'd. That would give great info aboujt all the ids that might be the same person.
this is the single greatest online billiard forum, but we cant stop bickering among ourselves,
also the short lived trolls, always going after snooker players,
the insecurity is sad

yawn,,,, im just here to see how long it takes them to ban you this time
thanks for the link!
If anyone should be banned its you...you are actually the troll around here. You will continue to flame this topic under the guise of "troll hunting" when in reality that is a form of trolling itself.

Why? You 'just got here' and you are already insulting people and initiating friction.
and right on cue...the tag team is here looking to start a flame war. I suspect that Black-Balled and Beneath_the_sur are one and the same...they always work in tandem. Let's try an experiment. I will not post again in this topic, and lets see how long they can flame it without me adding fuel to the fire.

Oh, I like Molly Hatchet as well--just having grown up in backwoods bars, I can't imagine 'tart' being used as an insult. haha
Nice try, tart.
A classical snooker stance does offer some advantages, as described on the snooker stance resource page. Here's a pertinent excerpt:
A snooker stance is more "open" than a pool stance, and more weight is placed on the planted foot closest to the grip hand (e.g., the right foot for a right-handed player). An open stance can allow your head to be more square to the shot with less neck twisting. This can make it easier to get the head lower with the chin directly over the cue, which can make aiming and sighting more consistent and accurate (for more info, see the low stance resource page). This is especially important on a snooker table, which is large with small pockets. The open stance also allows you to use your standard stance when your body is up against the table, which can happen a lot on large snooker tables. The open stance also allows one to use the chest and chin to help constrain and guide the cue. This is helpful to make sure the alignment and stroke are true during warm-up strokes and during the final forward stroke. Any swoop in the stroke would be immediately noticeable, and the chin guide can also prevent the swoop from happening in the first place (assuming the head is still).
Regards,
Dave
It is.
Pool players are a little different though and for the most part we will try to help anyone who asks. On most boards he'd have been banned a long time ago and in the meantime no one would reply to his inane topics.
Unfortunately most children are now raised by each other and the internet. Their parents are too overworked and can't discipline them. The kids get a trophy just for showing up so they have no idea how to act like grown ups. They are missing a large part of that world knowledge that most take for granted.
For them this is their entertainment. They think that trolling is funny and that we are somehow bending to their "devious" trickery. Sadly for them, we're just helpful. We help most people. We offered help to the original Ram-Shot.
I've known you since RSB Mike, so I know you don't get bent out of shape over these things. But, for the rest, when you see something like, "Hey, snooker players are silly!" don't get mad at it. It's obvious this poor kid needs attention but I'm all out of participation awards so he'll have to starve.
If he ever wins even a $10 tournament I'm sure he'll show up, pleased as punch as if he actually accomplished something and tell us all how we should play.
Question: Have any Modern American Pool Players ever crossed over to playing Snooker and been very good at it in terms of Tournaments?
I've long suspected that Ram Shot, Beneatn_the_Sur, Black-Balled, Pool Chump and ThePoolKillers were one in the same!
