Hello all,
I have recently discovered snooker again and this is my first post on this forum...
15 years ago when i was about 12 or so my next door neighbour and I played snooker at a local Arcade Hall ..There was a single snooker table ... I was instantly hooked. We then started playing in a proper snooker club and I began to get more and more into it ... I remember after school going straight to the club with my 2 piece cue my parents got me for xmas ... it was a piece of plywood but i loved it ... lol ... i was there till 10 pm helping to lock up
I played almost every day for about 2 years ... then as most young boys do around the age of 14 i discovered other distractions ,mainly girls, cigarettes alcohol and peer pressure etc etc.
I never lifted a cue again until about 2 months ago ... don't get me wrong i've played the odd game of pool here and there ... and a few frames on a really bad snooker table at a football club ...
However I'm big timed hooked again now ... I bought a wee BCE cue here a few weeks ago and have noticed a hell of a difference lately ... I'm making consistent 50 breaks in the line up (72 my highest) ... considering i have only really been playing this last month i'm pretty pleased howvere i know i can make a century in the line up with no problem just a bit more practice needed.
I'm seeking advice really ... I don't really know anyone at the club ..and none of my mates are into snooker ... I have been practicing on my own mostly with the odd match against people here and there ...
Where do i go from here ... Playing alone is becoming very costly and I know more match practice will improve my concentration and be better in the long run ...
any advice at all would be appreciated ...
