Chinese Snooker

[damianenko]

Where does the term chinese snooker in a game of snooker originate

[moppettshow]

I believe themost popular explanation is due to the stereotyping of the Chinese as being or rather diminutive stature. So, when the cue ball is directly in front of another ball, it is harder for a shorter person to make a clean contact, as they have to raise the butt of their cue. The taller you are, the easier this is.

[VS Prasad]

A situation where the cue ball is directly in front of another ball in the line of the shot such that the player is hampered by it, having to bridge over it awkwardly. This term is most commonly used in the game of snooker.

How do the professionals approach Shots Off The Cushion?
Why do they always seem to have a choice of pots available to them?
What is the best shot to play on a re-spotted black?
What is a Chinese Snooker?

The answers to these and many other questions are contained within, but remember; identifying the correct shot is comparatively easy, but executing the shots properly is wholly dependant on your 'cueing', 'touch', 'feel' and 'technical ability.'
