Dumb question

[steedee]

been playing off and on for 10 or 12 years. only managed 29. its a huge frustration but i just really enjoy it too.

Don't get bogged down in the high break stuff. It doesn't matter. I'd rather have a fun 20 than a miserable 90!

I hope you stay on the forum BigArm, we need you!

GBL cues are good. If you contact stu@greenbaize.com and give him your exact requirements, he will help you.

If you are serious about getting a grasp of the rules of snooker and how to apply them, then get a copy of the late John Street's book, "The Billiards and Snooker Referees' Handbook", which I think is available via World Snooker.
Another publication is the Sussex Referees Association, "Rules of the Games Of Snooker & English Billiards", which has explanatory notes. This publication is made up of A4 sheets which get replaced (FOC) when there is a rule change. Contact Derek Budde, again via World Snooker or the EASB.

Hi Ronnies Son,

I used to struggle with timing many years ago until I had coaching. My coach got me to do 5 even and steady strokes before striking the cue ball on the 5th forward swing. This helped me a lot at the time. Now that I am a more experienced player I've found my own natural rythm and tend to do feathers (i.e. baby strokes) prior to one mid to long back-swing and then stike the cue ball. This is what works for me - but might not be right for yourself.

Try the 5 strokes and strike on the 5th forward-swing. Might help you find a rythm for yourself.

But the best advice is get a coach to look at you and listen to his advice. There's a fair few coaches on here that can probably explain it better than I have. Good luck. Keep us posted on how you do....:snooker:
