    Where can I find the rules for playing "The Ghost"?

  3. By Billiards Forum Editor from Halifax on 12/12/2008 6:45:07 AM

    Hi Billy, welcome to the Billiards Forum. Can you give me a little more detail about what you are looking for? I probably have a copy somewhere, I'm just not exactly sure which rule set you are looking for specifically.

  4. By Dave from Edmonton, AB on 12/22/2008 12:27:07 AM

    Cool site, it has some good information! The one thing I haven't been able to find out much about is cues and specifically cue tips. What I am wondering is; 1. There are a number of tip sizes (diameters) (11 - 14-mm). I assume the smaller sizes would be for the smaller snooker balls, the larger for 9-ball, etc., but is this a hard and fast rule? Is it more personal preference ? What size tips do the top professional 9-ball players use? 2. There are a number of hardnesses for cue tips. I have been told the harder tips offer more control when used by better players. Is this true? It seems to me that the cue tip would be critical, are all cue tips created equal? Are the tips the pros use the same as the ones I can buy in my local store? Some information on the selection and use of cue tip hardnesses would be appreciated? 3. I play with a pretty good cue, maybe $100. I see on the internet "professional" cues with prices in the $1000 - $1500 range. What is the difference between the $100 cue and the $1000 cue? Is it just prestige, or is there a real difference? Is it the tip? 4. Since the actual contact between the cue and the cue ball is the chalk, I am wondering, is all chalk created equal? Is the chalk the pros use the same as what I can buy? Again, some general information would be useful. It's -30C (-40C with windchill) tonight, so we'll be playing a lot of pool in the next few months. But it's a dry cold............

    The day of the social pool player is fading. It is being supplanted by the idea of becoming a steadily learning and improving contender. This is a concept many miss completely when starting out.

    How do I follow through on a billiard shot. I seem to stop short after hitting the cue ball?
