  • Tom messing about

    Hi guys,

    I had half hour knock last week whilst waiting for the lady in my life to finish work. This isn't me trying or taking practice remotely serious, in fact it's the first line up attempt having taken my cue out of my case
    Anyway people always say they can pot a few and don't back it up with a vid so here's me making a hash of the line up.... did clear it back to back afterwards I swear hahaha

        not too bad for a casual line up mate....The table seemed really slow to me as well. I will see if I can get one done over the next week or so and post too...I'll attempt a line up max 1 take only

          I always set my balls up nicely for my lady friend mate!
          I walked into the club, chucked the balls down any old how and then made a quick vid! I've always stuck a couple baulk side of the blue but mix it up... 5 reds between black and black cushion is usually the one!

            Lol, brings a whole new meaning to cleaning your balls! Have to let me know later in week if you're still free to knock on Saturday. Be good to catch up, pockets are like buckets compared to Masters though lol.

              It was dead, it was a little social club not particularly well maintained, just google mapped places nearby to her work! I'll attempt the max 1 take too, and genuinely post the result even if it is 1 red one black...miss

                Nice cueing. Very fluid.

                I'm always pleased when I see there are others who only bother picking the colours out when they need them haha. I just have to remind myself not to take a positional route through the phantom ball.

                  I was paying a quid for 15 Minutes, no time for respotting mate! 😂 to be honest I don’t do much solo these days, just use it to keep the arm loose between matches. Had 92 the other night so lack of practice doesn’t seem to be too much of an issue!

                          Cheers mate, Andy Marriott by any chance? I'll probably be playing mate, I still play football so depends if that's on or not

                            WTF? Why do I have the impression you told us you were an older player? I have been thinking of you as in your 60's. Anyway, good technique except the left shoulder seems to be a bit high in some of the shots.

                              I've referred a couple of times to people who knew you years back Terry from playing you in Leicester, possibly linked to that? Anyway I'm only 27!
                              Points taken on the shoulder, i'd never noticed before. Possibly due to me not walking in to any shot like I'd usually do when taking my time in matches and proper practise but i'll investigate so thank you!
