Shown in the photo is a set up for bottle pool where the "shake bottle" and two object balls are positioned in starting position. I explain to them that I am only here to do a modest photo story about this unique place. The light tends to be flat, giving the place a special atmosphere - private - almost intimate where the only grip on reality is the sound of the music and the laughter of a group of men and women mingling in a corner. The World Snooker Championship first took place in 1927. Joe Davis, a key figure and pioneer in the early growth of the sport, won fifteen successive world championships between 1927 and 1946. The "modern era" of snooker began in 1969 after the broadcaster BBC commissioned the television series Pot Black, later airing daily coverage of the World Championship, which was first televised in 1978. The most prominent players of the modern era are Ray Reardon in the 1970s, Steve Davis in the 1980s, and Stephen Hendry in the 1990s, each winning at least six world titles.

Also, enjoy playing with a friend in several variations of snooker. Snooker has been contested at the World Games since 2001, and was included as an event at the 2019 African Games. This is used in the eight-ball, straight pool and several other pool games. This affects not only Vietnamese pool players but also top carom players like Tran Quyet Chien and Bao Phuong Vinh, who will not be allowed to participate in the Indoor Games in Thailand in November 2024, simply because they are members of VBSF. Players lag to determine who will shoot first. This is the cheaper option and one that you’ll find most commonly in public pool tables and those designed for home, but the performance of the ball will usually be a lot slower on this type of material. I inquire about the hourly rate and she tells me that the tables are full at the moment and that I’ll have to wait until someone finishes. It is evident that they are here to have some fun: to get away from the routine of the city and to relax after a week of work while they stand over a wooden table, trade stories, remember former days and listen to songs of salsa, carrilera and vallenato.

However, they don’t last as long, while those made from phenolic resin are expensive but are top-rated and last up to eight times longer. Most people think of green felt when they envision a pool table and while this is still the most popular color there are many other variations. It’s usually ¾" or 1" thick, depending on the size and age of the table. Depending on the type of felt you choose, you’ll be given a range of colors that it comes in which you can select from.There are some brands that can add designs to the felt surface, like your favorite sports team, otherwise, you can choose from plain colors like green, blue, burgundy, and camel. Years later, the table game was given a name derived from the French terms bille, which means ball and billiart, meaning wooden sticks. If your plan is to re-felt your pool table to give it a makeover, you can do this easily by purchase pre-cut felt.However, you have to make sure the size you select will match the dimensions of your table. A complete set of pool balls consists of one white cue ball and fifteen color-coded, numbered object balls.

If one of the coloured balls goes in a pocket, this is now their colour and they can try to pot another one in, using the white ball. Billiards involves playing with three balls where one of them is red, one is yellow and the other white. I speak to the manager and he tells me that he doesn’t quite know when billiards first began in Bogotá, but that for more than forty years, ever since the club first opened, the sport has been played here every day. Welcome to the ‘Country Club Billar’. The roof of the club conserves traces of the Republican, early 19th century-style house that once was inhabited by some Spaniard or Creole, and which has come back to life thanks to the legendary game of billiards. I am walking the streets of the club district, the Zona Rosa, and it is 5:00 in the afternoon. It evokes an image, what is billiards the wood of an old house which has witnessed the passing of history. They expected the speed of the old Beenie. The Carrera Septima at the corner of the old theatre Jorge Eliercer Gaitán seems empty for a Saturday night. As I wander through the "T zone" - which takes its name from a certain intersection - and come out at the Calle 85 with Carrera 15, I see a glowing neon light on one side of the street, and it strikes my attention.
