I'm looking for advice on cue ball control, especially on how to swerve the cue ball.
|
|
When I take a shot the path I want the object ball to go, it does not go that way.
What am I doing wrong. And could you please give me some tips on how to set the
next shot up.

If you are bridging over say the blue ball to play a red and you strike the red OK,
but you accidentally knock the blue ball forward with your hand, what would the
foul be (I assume five points) ?, and would the blue ball be replaced to where it
came from or left ?
|

I'm only new to the game of snooker. When I put side on the cue-ball
(lets say right-hand side), will the object-ball be effected.
Also, where can I get snooker lessons in Dorset ?
|
|
Could you tell me what the rule book actually says about the miss rule and why players
and referees seem to have problems over it. Also, in what situations would the cue ball
be replaced after a foul or a free ball be awarded ?

I have a big problem with my snooker skills. Somehow I am able to build a good break
(50 points or more) during solo practices but not during a game with another friend.
Can you please advise me on this ?

If you pot a nominated colour and the cue ball goes in as well,
is the colour respotted or does it stay down ?
|
|
Could you please tell me the best way to execute a 'jump shot' where
the cue ball is lifted over a ball blocking the path of the target ball ?
Are jump shots considered as legal shots ?
|
|
Can anyone give me a list of all the snooker shots.

The Pink and Black Ball are the only balls on the table. The player pots the pink, but
the cue ball also gets potted. In this situation, as well as the cue ball being placed
in the "D", would the pink be respotted or would it stay down ?

contact to find out more ?

Could you please end a dispute in our local club. If I potted the green ball and
its spot was occupied, and the only available spots it could go on were the
blue, pink, and black, which spot would you put the green on ?

I have been playing snooker since I was 12 years old, and am now 16. I used
to play a lot but have recently played only a few times a month. I find that
my 'form' has decreased a lot. What is your advice to help me play better ?
|

Can you please confirm or otherwise if there was ever a PURPLE ball used in
the game of snooker and if so where was it positioned and what was its value.
I seem to recall it being between the pink and blue and worth 10 points.
Possibly when the game was played in India in the days of the British Empire.
