First post + question

Evening

just thought I’d sign up and make a first thread. Played the game for years but wasn’t anything special, highest break was mid 40’s but just really enjoyed the social aspect of the game.

Recently just purchased a 4 peice Buffalo cue from eBay to get me going again as my old cue ‘went missing’ a few years ago,

Looked in my garage and found a couple of Pro Elk Tips which I will use but wondered what the best tips around were? These ones are apparently ‘soft’ but they always felt a lot harder than I imagined if memory serves me right.

also how do people play this game without having a beer? I really need to cut down but I’ve always found I play much better after two beers. Not sure why this was.

looking forward to my cue arriving midweek for my first game in around 3 years. The person I’m playing fancies himself on the snooker table and I have never seen him play and he plays regularly. Hopefully I can give him a game and make it competitive!

welcome to TSF and also back to the game

Why do you ask? Has someone told you you should not have a couple with a frame or two?

I've never drank while playing, don't need the crutch of alcohol. Also I'm blind as a bat as it is without drink making my eyesight even fuzzier.

I play extremely ****ty under influence of alcohol or any recreational drug. I don't understand how some of my mates are able to play at the same level under the buzz.

I never drink when playing as it affects my game too much.
I know people who can knock in tons after a few beers , amazing.
I always have a beer after though to make up for it

Normally driving Dean so just the one for me.
It’s the one major downside to all the clubs closing, I can’t get lashed anymore although I felt like it last time I played after missing another black for a ton 😖😂
