It’s no wonder that pool players often find it difficult to keep off the weight. It’s easy to see why!!! Being a dancer, I appreciate the need to keep my vitamins and minerals actively under control and my weight / height ratio balanced correctly. However, I am sat here having to eat cheese burger (and a greasy one at that) and chips because there aint much else. Admittedly, at certain times at this particular club, you can get the most gorgeous curry - of which I partook of yeste... Read Full Story

Why can’t the top three or four players be beaten on a regular basis? Many factors have an influence over this issue.

I know its my summer holidays and all, but us teachers really don’t get much rest! Especially when we have a husband who has a business like CueSport.tv! I must admit, when the pool is fast and engaging, I quite like watching it - a good job really. A yawn did escape my face once or twice in the group round (they know who they are!) and the race to 11 made the matches quite long - my butt got quite numb and I’m sure DVT started to set in. However, the lads are pleasant and the wit... Read Full Story
