 |
|
I've been looking online for snooker halls in Korea, specifically Busan, and I can't see a single one. The only reference I can see is a mention of a table on one of the hotels' amenities list. I play 2/3 times a week and I'd bring my cue if there was a chance of playing.
I'd settle for a decent pool hall either. One where I can rent a table as opposed to playing in a bar.
Any snooker players out there?...... |

Lots of pool halls around but finding one that has snooker balls is another matter. Billiards or 8-ball are common.

And in Korea, they up the difficulty of billiards by adding an extra ball: you have your cue ball and the two target balls, and you must avoid hitting the other player's cue ball. |

Sounds tricky alright. I don't really play billiards much. It's a great way to improve your positional play but just not my thing. I love a full size 12'x6' snooker table with a fast cloth and pockets that aren't too narrow. |
