No you're not, I'M OLD! older than Mick in fact by about 20yrs I think so tell him to get his ass in gear and start playing again. Then you can run a 147 against him to bring back fond memories.

yeah if you sill feel it and enjoy it with good sparing carry on.. our tel is living proof that life begins at 40 and him having a max against a quality pro like bob chaperon, this will stay with him forever

I believe I corrected that. I don't believe I had a 147 against Bob but rather it was Frank Cavaliere in a money match at the Top Spot in Glenfield where I was the house pro (but not really a pro). Thirty years ago so I have a valid excuse

A lorry carrying snooker equipment crashed on the M6 earlier today. Apparently the cues went back for miles...
Police said the driver was under a rest...

If we are telling snooker jokes there is mine

I only have problem accepting advice that you should not use any side at all until you can knock in 50 breaks a few times? I tell you what. 50 break requires at least 14 potted balls with position.
It is impossible for a relative beginner club player who has never hit a ball with side in his life to leave himself such accurate position 14 times in a row.

I agree, but would like to note that it would also be impossible with side. I think that beginners not using side builds there memory of the white ball path after potting ball, using draw, stun and follow only for shape builds a strong foundation to work with, this will help him to make an educated decision when decision is made that siding is essential.

thats been updated recently then. i see that one can send them a email to get a player stuck on there. don't see why one of the canadians can't pop an email through so as to get our own bomber up there

Nice info !! I miss one name here ( Tom finstad ) !! I don't know if that guy is still alive???? Terry,, any chance for sum info ??

[sharkster63]

iv regularly made frame winning breaks without side. iv made many without a cushion too. as for going up for and getting the right side of the blue every time with some side on, i suggest stunning up and don't being afraid of getting closer to the middle pocket. its an eye opener

I agree, I think if you look at all the options that side is only needed in a small amount of total shots but we all like to show off... lol

[sharkster63]

joe davis allegedly didn't think much of eddie as he only used side when he absolutely had to, but he could and did use it

if you are always striking the cue ball somewhere other than centre I would say you are doing it for effect not need and might gain from not using it where not needed but each to their own, bottom line is you need to understand it and how to play it to get past basic level but as a rule it is easier to play without tan with, anything that complicates something makes it harder

turned into a weird thread

im with you on all points, especially about the thread..
