Trouble is i don't get enoguh time to practise !

Got anything i can tell my parents to let me play more at a club lol

[Kiddo]

Nah... You don't ask a girl about her highest break... Just kidding...

Well, I don't know. If your granddad told you to focus on the cue ball, he's probably right... It's not that important how big a break you can make...

I think you should keep praticing for a while. Get more comfortable with your play... but again, it's hard to say without having seen you play...

I have played at all in 2 years not regularly for even longer... so I doupt I can even have a break of 1 right now.

If you truly have potential then hopefully you can get your parents to support you.

Good luck with that, I wouldn't know how to convince them tho.

[RocketRonnie]

If they let me practise i could show them my potential !

Maybe i should look for a snooker coach and he/she could give me an idea on my ability ?

[Sonny]

That's impressive... but how many hours did he put on a table in that month?

That's beside the point. I had a table at my house (6ft) when I was a kiddie and from the age of 7 I played every day after school and all weekend and it took me about bloody 5 years to get a 40 break.

It's all nice everyone giving you advice RocketRonnie but sorry to **** on your bonfire but there's pretty much naff all chance of you making it big if you cant get a 20 break in the reds already. I've seen so many decent players spend 8 hours a day in the snooker hall with their heads full of ideas about becoming a pro and leaving school early only to jack it in after a single season on the uk tour.

Just enjoy it for what it is - a great game that is fun to play. Play your friends and if you consistantly beat them play the better players in the club. You will know pretty soon if you've got what it takes because everyone will want to play you.

[Kiddo]

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea...

I understand it must be difficult to get the time for both school and snooker and stuff...

[RocketRonnie]

Yeah it is ...

And although i say it myself i am quite academic and my parents want me to do well in school as they know i can and so do i ...

[Sonny]

that's right, immediately push my comments to the previous page!

[Kiddo]

Yeah... that's always a good idea...

What about practicing in the weekends and holidays? But you were doing that, weren't you? You are lucky about having this table in the summer time... Wish I had my own table...

[RocketRonnie]

But i dont see the good thing about having a small table ...

What does it help with ...

[Sonny]

*sighs*

...

[Kiddo]

Sorry Sonny... I kept on jabbing...

RocketRonnie: Think Sonny is right... take it easy and take it as it comes...

[RocketRonnie]

Yeah sorry sonny i missed your post ...

How often do you play ...

[RocketRonnie]

And don't worry about **i**ing on my bonfire ... alot of people have **** on the same bonfire

It's a public toilet now

I've been playing snooker for about a month now and my best break is 20 - and I quite often will get red black red black and then mess up on the going into the pack or position for one of the loose reds - something I've got to work on!

The problem is I never get time to practice, I'm at uni now and when at home I have someone to go play with but at uni noone wants to spend that kinda money every week to play! At home I try to play a few times a week so about 10 hours a week in total, I know it's not much, but it's costly!
