No-one to play with

[monkey]

I love playing snooker but no-one i know plays, except one person that goes like every few months lol. I go with my dad sometimes, but he doesnt play a safety game or anything, he just wacks them if he cant pot oneSo, what should i do? Just practise on my own for a while and then see about joining junior clubs etc?

Same situation here, I live in israel and snooker isn't a very common sport here,
so most of my friends will only play 8ball with me. only one of my friends likes snooker
but we barely play.

i know, and i get really bored playing on my own

Hi mucka , i know it can get boring playing on your own but if you want to improve different aspects of your game then dont just play and pot balls , work on all weaknesses of your game and try and improve them .

There are some great practice routines on the fergal obrien website , to improve your game .

Make good use of the table time there so many different things to work on that should keep you focused and interested .

lol true, i feel a bit daft walking in on my bill and playing all on my own ha. Was thinking about going later today for an hour or two, im pretty shocking at snooker and really need to improve i just need things so it doesnt get boring

I'm in the same position as well. I live in a small town and there's a social club with a couple tables that i'm a member of. I play pool eveyr now and again with friends and have one friend that i used to play with who won't play with me any more because he can't win.
I too have resorted to going by myself hoping to meet someone i could have a regular with but gave up on the idea a few months ago.
I went down today and was the only person there and played a couple of frames and surprised myself by how much i remembered.

[monkey]

yeah gets a little boring playing frames on your bill though doesnt it?

I just have my dad to play with, not much competition either really.
