Playing on 8x4 table?

[mythman69]

So is that a special table for you lot down under

That is why Neil Robertson is so good. He can play upside-down too.

If you are buying a 8ft , make sure it is three section 1.5 inch slate bed , with bolts going into slate not wood screwed on , also 6 legs not 4 . or it may dip in the middle as not good support on 4 legs , one piece slates are known for dipping all over the place too
a 9ft would be a better choice in my opinion if you can get the extra 1 foot in length and 6 inch in width .
I have just converted a Billiard diner to fixed height because it was made all wrong and was a low price import model . so keep clear of what look good billiard dining tables too .

thanks for that geoff, really good advise there mate. there are so lovely nine footers around too.

What's 6m, about 19 feet? So width isn't a problem, just length, if it were me I would buy a full size table and stick the black end near the wall, you hardly ever have to play directly up the table anyway, that's if it's just for practicing on, might be a pain if playing mates etc.

That's a really good point.

BTW. What does "Wish I had a villains thumb like Jack Karnehm" mean? It's starting to drive me mad.

I honestly don't know what it means, I bought the Jack Karnehm dvd, Understanding modern snooker,and on it he's talking about making a solid bridge and getting a good strong V with the thumb, and he says something like, I'm not saying this is easy but I am lucky enough to have been born with a right villains thumb , he seemed to have one of those bendy thumbs like Steve Davis so it might be that, but he doesn't explain it any further . I was hoping someone would know on here that's why I put it on.

Having Played in the Sheffield 3/4 league for 20 years and fullsize I can honestly say the 3/4 snooker table is a good table to practice on if you cannot get a full size table, the idea being at least you can get your arm going. As for making breaks a lot of people will always say ha its easy, Well it`s not as easy as they think as the table area is smaller and gets cluttered very quickly but it does help with learning good cueball control. Also if you have a 3/4 snooker league the money is generally very good as well, the Sheffield full size snooker league in Sheffield pays out Poor prize money for all the money they charge and take, on the other hand the 3/4 snooker league pays out £1 per point for highest break, they pay out about £80 for most wins, and £450 if your team wins the divison going right down to £150 for 4th place.

Use full size snooker balls on it so you have a full 15 reds triangle and not 10, this will make for a better game as most 3/4 snooker tables use fullsize balls anyway.

Hope you enjoy the table.

6m is tight for a full size. You need 6.6 really.
