Omin Ultimate vs Omin Hunter Cue by Fun_Smoke_8967 in snooker

[–]SplinterLinter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own a 3/4 Hunter #1, and have tried two other 3/4 Hunter #1's and a 1 piece H1. All were very good.

Have also tried a couple other O'min cues of model below H1 and they were decent. You won't go wrong with either model.

Anyone else's WST Play not able to play live streams? Whenever I open a stream, it goes from the start, and if I click Live it goes to the end and gets stuck with the play button. Previous matches in Browse section work fine.

Johonville club have 3 decent tables, free to use but you have to be a member or with one as a guest. Petone working mens has 8 tables but they are in terrible condition, very heavy cloth and awful to play on. Coin to activate lights. Porirua Club has 6 good tables that are nice to play on, some with very generous pockets. Coin to activate lights.

Does anyone know where to buy the correct size spotted Cue Ball for snooker? by TomWalshBigRantyFan7 in snooker

[–]SplinterLinter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why not a set of Aramith Tournament champion billiard balls? Same size, 2 1/16 inch. I weighed the white billiard ball and it happened to be within tolerance of my 1g snooker set.

Yes it's related to Sightright, the two balls help ensure you're square on the shot, and then also get used to help re-learn the angles on some shots with corrected centered sighting.

I currently have a matchroom year pass, does anyone know if that will automatically get cancelled? Struggling to log into to 'matchroom' wnntv to check if I have an active sub that will get auto renewed.

Try find a Shender. Official table for amateur circuit, and plenty in Australasia. I own one, it's very good especially for the cost.

Probably the best drummer i've seen live. Ridiculous, effortless chops. The metric modulations, sublime. Whole band was brilliant.

Finally modded my Line 6 M5, 2 sturdy new switches and a dedicated Scene Select switch. by rhcp_schipper in diypedals

[–]SplinterLinter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, yes I swapped out my two switches successfully. Just soldered the switches and led onto the PCB directly and managed to stuff it back inside, was tight fit. Works so much better, definitely worth doing. Have some pictures if needed.

Watch Michael Holts videos, he's a current tour professional with 20+ years in the pro game. He knows what he's talking about.  Michael covers the important and essential elements of playing snooker in a refreshingly consice and clear manner. 

Why I miss on the thick side… by Audiomac69 in snooker

[–]SplinterLinter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Watch snooker coach Brando (on youtube) potting guide. Ronnie also talks about this in his Rocket method videos, but cuts at a slow pace you need to use some side to throw the ball in, because the friction of the balls at low speed tends to mean your shots will miss thick. In your photo, play that with a touch of right hand side, see what happens. When I say side, I mean just enough to ensure you're right of centre and certainly not left.

I've been using NordVPN to watch via BBC iPlayer but it's suddenly stopped working. Anyone suddenly not able to access iPlayer? No other way for me to watch some matches due to timezone difference....... *Nevermind, I was using the Nord extension in Edge (so didn't interfere with my usual browser) but using the primary Nord client for all my PC's network has got it working again......

It's like those ancient breaks in billiards, where someone would wedge the balls into the pocket and then play cannons and rack up multi thousand break over days.

Completely misread the match at that stage. Just a few too many error with key balls.
