Question

Who here thinks that snooker is harder than ordinary pool and why?

Answer 1

They are different. The snooker table is larger which magnifies aiming mistakes. Snooker balls are smaller, and the pockets are rounded to kick more balls out. A regular pool table is smaller with larger balls. So, space for balls to pass each other is more limited.

All in all, I think snooker is more difficult than pool because it is less forgiving with mistakes by the player. But, ask me again in 6 months, and I will likely come up with a reason why pool is harder than snooker.

Answer 2

Never played the game  don't even know how it's played But I have heard of it   I do play pool and I can run 3 or 4 ball's in a row and some times 1 or 2 more  But I lose 60 % of the time

Answer 3

It all depends on your expectation... If you are used to run out a table in pool and you think you know a great deal in playing english and then try snooker the first time you will get frustrated. But if you realize that snooker is a more strategic and defensive game and you don't try to make tough shots with monster english but rather take it easy and play it a ball here and there and then leave your opponent snooker you will find a way to win the game too.

I personally prefer pool since I find it more rewarding. It's faster and more forgiving and running out the talbe gives me the kick. But ultimately, in the long run, both games require the utmost precision.

Answer 4

I do. The pockets are barely wide enough to accommodate the balls!

Answer 5

if your comming from a pool table snooker is huge, with small *** little pockets with rounded edges (making rail shots almost impossible), more balls, and tiny cues how can you not think snooker is harder. And if your coming over from a snooker table to pool table, it is hard to miss a shot. I used to practice snooker before a turni and felt like i was cheating. Snooker is way harder.

Answer 6

no they both are easy

Answer 7

I think it depends on whether you are the one that gets snookered. :)

Answer 8

Not as hard as pool you only play 1 game with 1 set of rules 1 basic game

I could fill this page with pool games rules  and players  besides its the most boring of cue sports except maybe 3 ball

Answer 10

Not Chuck Norris to him it doesn't matter!!!! Chuck Norris stares at the balls and they all automatically roll for the nearest hole out of sheer terror from one of his roundhouse kicks

Points Baby!!!!
