Snooker Historyto top

Snooker is considered a gentleman's game and it was first played by Englishmen as far back as the 15th. Today, there are two faces of snooker. On the one hand, it is an increasingly popular pub game, very relaxing and social activity. On the other hand, competitive, professional snooker is a very demanding sport, requiring lots of practice and commitment.

Unlike most other sports where general physical fitness is the key to success, in snooker emphasis is placed on manual dexterity. Mental preparation and concentration are also necessary ingredients for victory. In this ultimate mind game there is no room for frustration or adrenaline rush. Overcome your emotions or they may turn against you!
