oh, i guess i'm done with the basics already. i just need coaching on how to further improve my points per cue etc. my placing is ok, i can get my cue ball to where i want etc but i need someone of professional standard to judge my play and maybe correct my errors etc. money wise, maybe 30-50 per lesson ba. but i have one requirement, he must have an average cue score of 50 or more... if not then abit pointless liao. my average cue score is around 30 per cue. thanks for listening.

 

btw i was a pool player before. gave the game up coz there are too many 'sub-standard' rules.

hi extremevil,

 

sounds like an 'advance' level player..

 

fyi I dont make even 1/2 centuries, am I qualified to have some session of improvement with u..?

u use personal cue, i use house cue also always play till last few balls wat...

u mean snooker? i only brought my snooker cue 1 time lor, tht time daryl was with us, then we play snooker tht time is 4 person play, where got one on one? our one on one match shld be only 4 frames like tht, once at pro snooker, the other 3 at the one with bowling beside us

 

aiyo, u getting old liao lah, forget so many things, even forgot bout pm me to bring extra helmet cause u say got chaiz coming

here's a reply i got from a cue collector, so anyone interested to get these exclusive cues, i can link u up. joe davis & walter lindrum r both leendary figures in tis game, so to say "the best ever"

 

The Joe Davis Champion is a production cue made by Burroughs and Watts. Its a rarer version than the commonly seen 147 break cues as its handspliced. S$500

 

The Walter Lindrum Record Break was made to celebrate the world record break of 3902 between 1929 and 1931 after which the record was broken..

S$500

 

A couple of these survive and are highly sought after by snooker cue collectors. i will post on ebay soon.

haha paiseh i just came back from taiwan so reply abit late. 'advance' maybe lar, i dunno coz i seldom play with other people other than my group of friends and we play durig midnight. hehe. it'll prolly be very hard to catch me when i'm free coz gf always occupy my free time. "oP

 

i only did half century once though not all are blacks. sometimes i play like crap also. my friends say that i'm prolly the most inconsistent one. one game can play very good then totally suck on the next game. maybe my queing needs touch up.

snooker cue? more or less the diff is one piece, half joint or butt joint lor. one piece is the whole cue, cant dismantle. half joint is can dismantle & the joint is at half the cue. butt joint is joint at ard 3/4 length of the cue, thts y sometimes its called 3/4 cue.

 

i cant say which is better cause cue gd or not depends on the person, as long as u r comfortable with it, tht cue wld be gd for u.

 

wanna learn ah? aiyah simple lah, come join us when we play snooker next time, pay some "school fees" to simon soh can liao, u'll learn a lot, 1st lesson is to learn how to pick up ball
