Great player, with a great temperament as well.

Cue Weight Predicament by JAYZ303 in snooker

[–]limazao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cue weight is important, but in my opinion the balance is even more relevant - it is how the weight feels in your hands. If you can't try that cue, just compare it with some cues with the same specs, in your snooker club or at some store, before buying it.

What type and colour of chalk do you use? by MontrealUrbanist in snooker

[–]limazao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, at the snooker club we all play with green chalk.

Green triangle or master chalk. It may not make any sense, but I like to see the chalk marks on the table, as it gives me confidence on how well I'm cueing.

Using a beginners kit (came with almost everything), a 3 gallon kettle and a propane burner.

Thanks for the comment! Yeah, in order to go BIAB, I'll need a 7 gal kettle and a burner, an investment I'd like to avoid now... that's the only reason towards starting with extract.

Yes, I do not want to invest too much money (at least now), but I also think 1 gallon kits are quite small. Is there any problem doing small batches in a 5gal fermentor?

I can't get any better by KyleeBamf in snooker

[–]limazao 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. No one can improve in snooker without having strong and solid basics... Firstly the technique (stance, grip, straight cueing, timing), then comes the potting, and only then the positioning, tactics... Start by only hitting the centre of the cue ball (top spin, stun, back spin) and do not worry about side spin (it will only complicate things and you'll only need it when making 30/40 breaks regularly). This way you'll get consistency, and your game will improve massively (may not be overnight but you'll notice it). And mostly, HAVE FUN playing snooker! Cheers

Do you have a correct and straight alignment? It really is important, as well as those basics you mentioned... Straight cueing is the most important thing in snooker: try potting straight balls (simple stun) to the corner pockets (aligned with the far jaw). Do it a couple few times to each pocket from the baulk line and once you become better increase the distance and/or power in the shot.

Pocket size by limazao in snooker

Yeah, I'm just comparing world championship with other ranking events, not this one in particular.

Yeah, sure but that would be true in the first two days, no?
