Hello snooker forum . I am new to posting on forums and semi new to snooker . I love it because it is a pure game challanging and more rewarding than pool , to me . I love snooker almost as much as food and air. My biggest hope is that it takes off in my country USA. And it could if there was enough motivation and exposure. If an invitational event with the top 32 Cueist and world snooker would come here maybe Las Vegas or New York , I would be willing to support it . Or a portion. Pipe dream maybe but hey , you have to dream . I have been reading post here for a bit and there are amazing and informative ppl here and I appreciate it

One introduction thread is normally enough but your American i suppose.

rhettman80 - welcome to TSF, there are a few fellow countrymen of yours already on here, who knows you maybe close?
where abouts are you? do you have a local club that has snooker facilities?
cheers, merry Christmas to you and yours

[rhettman80]

I'm in Alabama , we only have a few 5x10 's spread out in different towns. The closest proper 6x12's that I know of are in Houston , TX and New York , Merry Christmas

[DeanH]

have a look at this site by a TSF member, there appears to be 12' in Huntsville
www.findsnooker.com

[rhettman80]

Yes. That's a great site. I got to play on it for about 3 months before
It's was taken down. It was a previous pool room owners table and
He took it out around 2-3 months ago. However it or another one may appear someday

Hello to TSF
Have you had a look at www.snookerUSA.com ?

[NorthWestJunior]

Would be good for the sport if it were to kick off in the States some day. As long as it doesn't bring in that pool crowd audience that is.

[rhettman80]

No kidding. . That's why I like organized snooker so much. Like golf it's gentlemans game. Best man wins. Not sure if you are referiing to the spectators or the so called pool pros

[Trapper]

How far are you from Red Bay, Al? I have a 6x12 table and play weekly.

Hi trapper. I'm not very far , about 2 hrs . I live SE of huntsville . Will have to make a trip out there after the holidays .

[Chappers]

Hi rhettman80 ! Glad your enjoying the forum.
What cue are you using to play snooker with and what type of tip have you got on ?

[rhettman80]

Thanks Chappers. I play with a maple black Shark with black spin and a talisman medium

[Chappers]

Nice cue choice, Mike makes some nice cues. Havn't had chance to play with a Blackspin but I have used Talisman before I changed over to Kamui.
