I am a collector of old billiard cues and would like to know if a reference book or website is available for antique cues. I frequently come across cues which have been made with different techniques and design and would like to know if literature exists on the evolutionary process involved in manufacturing.

(In particular, I recently bought a machine spliced ebony butt with English ash shaft, probably an old rack cue which had the shaft running through the butt about 2cm in circumference thick, unlike many modern cues which have a solid butt.)

I came across something for the first time not so long ago which I probably will never see again. A player potted a red and by some outrageous chance ended up in the middle of the reds with a loose red coming around the angles and then trapping the cue ball in the pack. With no possible route to a colour, what happens?


Posted on 13th September 2000 by J. Johal Read the reply

When all the reds have been potted and you are snookered with the points difference of around 15 and you miss the yellow but you snooker your opponent would this be a free ball, and if so can you snooker your opponent behind the ball you nominate as the free ball ?

I'm trying to find out next years fixtures, as a friend would like to buy tickets for her husband (as a christmas present) for the Crucible next year. If this is not possible you might be able to give her an idea of which way to go about the above.

I bought second hand a one-piece snooker cue from an elderly player at a club some 15 years ago. It's made of ash. On the Butt-plate, there is the 'Joe Davis Record Break 2501.'

To give me some idea when this cue was made, when did Joe Davis have this Billards break ?

I am curious to know the different sizes and names for the different sizes of pool tables, i.e., regulation, snooker, etc.

When a player is more than 7 points behind and the seven ball is still left on the table does it mean he has lost and if so why? Can't you still try to corner hook him or if he fouls in any way you would be right back in the game?

I live in the states and have a 9ft snooker table with full size balls and pockets. The corner pockets are very tight and I would like to check them for size. Is there somewhere I can access a layout of the pockets with dimensions?


Posted on 19th July 2000 by Keith Knapp Read the reply

My brother has a 3/4 size table in Detroit. When playing snooker he finds the angle of the holes too tight. Please could you supply the correct size and angles of the pockets.

I'd like to know the difference between Billiards, Snooker and Pool.

Posted on 16th May 2000 by Sushil Rijal of Nepal Read the reply

I have just started playing snooker and some people have told me that when aiming the ball you should look at the reflection of light on the cue ball and the object ball and try to match the lights depending on the angle. Is this true?


Posted on 6th May 2000 by Yohan Smith of Tanzania Read the reply

I am new to the game of snooker. I would like to find out how to calculate angles and the relation of getting the cue ball to come back where you want it for the next shot. Is there anything to read or on the internet.
