Why is Snooker declining in Europe

The opinion of an old Pro-Am player!
2o years ago, snooker started in europe ,first in Belgium ,then holland ,soon followed France and then germany.

everyone wanted to play the game. but no-one knew how.

after a few years playing . they realized how difficult it was.

Yes we see the lads playing on tv. but they have learned the game from the start.
put in years of practice.

but when it came to europe , everyone thought what an easy game. they could not be more wrong.

or where they!.

snooker is in general Easy, solong your eyes are ok. your aim is right.
and you have a certian knollege of angles.

the rest is learning how to adress the cue-ball. and where to strike the ball.

Once you have learned this ,then snooker becomes easy, This still doesen,t mean your going to be a Pro. but it cane give you enjoyment in the game as a Amature. it,s allways a joy to make a 40or 50 break. so if you want to get this typ of enjoyment out of the game,

then go back to the basics of the game put in the hours. and reep the fruits of your practise.

So all depending what You want??

You can do it yourself or seek Coatching.

My advice would be coatching.

You know we wheren,t all born with the natural abillity to play Snooker.

Hi,

So someone asked the question And Know!!!

Well It would be advised too ask the German Billard Federation to introduce coaching at a professional level.

from an Accredited Coach.

this could help conciderately.

The question is do they want this do they have an intresst in creating a good snooker inviroment in G
or are they like there Dutch counterparts : Ignorant. that snooker requires good coaching. or the sport will never grow. no matter where you play it.

Germany has had some good players. but they have had no Support from a Coach. no support from there federation. so they, wwere left to do it on there own.

My ?.

What does Germany want from snooker. what is expected. or are you just good Spectators.
