Snooker was the ONLY "Pool" game available to me when I was Younger and if Mom or Dad found out where you had been. UH OH!!!
Quick Lesson: A Snooker table is Six Feet x 12 Feet. (Don't leave your Glasses at Home!) There's a "Rack" of "Cherries" (All Red) at one end with the Pink Ball in front of them and the Black Ball behind them. (See Picture Below)
At the other end of the Table is a line of Yellow, Green and Brown. You "Break" the Cherries from behind, or on that line. In the middle of the table is the Blue Ball.
The game progresses by Sinking a Cherrie (One Point) followed by whatever "Coloured" ball is available to you….. Black ball is Nine Points, Pink six, Blue 5, Yellow 2, Green 3, Brown 4. ....When a Coloured Ball is sunk After a Cherrie it comes back out and onto it's Proper Spot. ....When ALL the Cherries are down, take a Taxi to the other end of the Table…..The Remaining Balls MUST be sunk in their Proper Order. Yellow, Green, Brown, Blue, Pink, Black…GAME OVER!!
I Learned from a Very Good Player. The MOST IMPORTANT thing you learn is …..Draw a straight line from the Pocket you have chosen and right through the centre of the Object Ball that you want to hit and SINK with the Cue Ball (White) Then almost forget about it! ....BECAUSE the Most Important thing you will learn is How to Apply "English" or "Stuff" to the CUE BALL. You MUST get it to go where you want it to be for your Next Shot (A Coloured Ball) OR… You're "Dead In The Water"!!
This is a 6' x 12' Snooker Table:
The Gentleman's Name in the Vdeo is Ronnie O'Sullivan. He's pretty good at it.
Well?? Maybe he could better? Watch and see. It's from the 1997 World Championship's in Sheffield. AND! Watch His "STUFF"!!*
Hope you enjoy People. Thought I'd try something a little different in this Forum. Let me know IF you agree PLEASE.
