The Les Edwards Snooker Challenge Thread

[tedisbill]

can you not change the name of this thread to just the snooker challenge? cus many others now are doing them and it could relieve les from typing so then he can go and practice a bit

Don't think it's possible now. Les knows the importance of practice now, it's up to him to go and put the time in on the table.

sorry les are you talking in code or canadian cus i don't quit get it, are you asking me how to play a shot off the cushion?

Yes how would you play a shot off the cushion?

WEEK SIX: 2 reds with blue.

Right, the goal this week is to pot two reds with blues. You must start with the balls as shown in the image and then try to clear the table.

If you manage to pot both reds and get on the blue nicely from the last red, then put the two reds back up before the final blue, and see how many times you can manage it without missing or falling out of position. So just keep looping if that makes sense, but without ever moving the white.

Good luck everybody!

Looks to me that your cue is raised for the shot on the rail.

the cushions are high, but on a proper table id be a bit lower cus id see more of the top of the white

Okay fair enough. Well when it comes down to it 99% of the guys on here would love to have my room. Next home will have the ultimate Snooker Room.

Think this one is more about getting good position just high on the blue leaving yourself an easy angled pot to get on the red and then back to the blue again Les.

Yes your right. Well any kind of practice to the middle is better then nothing. I think I will work on some pinks off the spot during the week also. TD and myself are running our second tournament this coming weekend. Time for me to win some games.

thats cus most of us live on top of each other, and if we had your snooker room we'd be wise enough to put a nice slick nine footer in there or put a bed in there and rent it out

Come on how many of us have spent hours practicing cushion shots, a cushion shot is a cushion shot however much you try and and dress it up. Also how many people would would swap a 12ft table in Les's basement where he can practice in theory nearly all routines quite comfortably in return for an oversized pool table just so he can practice the odd cushion tight spot that never comes up.
Then guess what happenes when Les start putting videos up of his shot routines or should I say cushion shot practice on his 9ft table, yes you've got it "Les get a proper table that's just an oversized Pool table and how can you practice on that when it's not full size"
