Default snooker loopy??

any 1?? where do u guys play? down the club or u lucky enough to have your own table at home? what cue do u have and whats the spec of it? also what your highest brake?

i am a member at 2 clubs but my ex best mate is lucky enough to have his own full size table at home (what i would give to have my own table) my highest brake is 37 (could of been more except got a very nasty kick on a simple black) my cue is an adams hand spliced 3 peace cue 17.5 oz and a 9.5 blue diomand tip.

me and a few of the lads play, at the local snooker hall, they got 17 tables and a bar with drinks n hot food

highest break is 29

cue's not the best but it does me fine, got O'Sullivans name on it, doesnt play the same with me holding it tho

me mate knocked a 34 in last night to get his highest break! i only managed a 22

Used to play league a few years ago and still play now.

Got an Ash cue and one of those telescopic extentions.

Play on and off now.

Highest league break was 52, practice break was 89.

Recent break is 40

yeah agree they make it look so simple, my mates dad is just rather well off and snooker mad himself (its his fault i spend so much time and money in the club, got me hooked)

think my brake was a 1 off my overall play has improved just can't seem to make that all important pot needed to improve my brake building, just get 1 30 odd brake a match if i'm lucky, must avarage midd 20 brakes all the time really pisses me off
