In recent years, more and more young people are playing pools than snooker. Wonder if it is very much a fashion and fad thing…
Snooker is much more difficult. It's all about bank shots and angles, and where you leave the cue ball.

My pool table inclines in the center, and all of the balls roll to the side.
The balls are pretty old, except for the cue ball, which doesn't roll to the sides nearly as much, almost never.
EDIT: it is warped in the center.
Instructions
STEP 1: Place a carpenter's level on the felt. STEP 2: Observe any tilt. STEP 3: Have several friends lift the appropriate end of the table. STEP 4: Insert a wooden shim as necessary. STEP 5: Recheck level. STEP 6: Repeat as necessary. Tips & Warnings
If the floor is extremely tilted, consider moving the table to another location.
Don't lift the table too high or drop it.

Rudolph Wonderone doesn't know why pool got a"bad name"
during the depression days. "It don't make no sense, because it's a clean sport.They don't allow no drinkin' around the tables. I personally have never had a drink or a smoke in my life.
I guess maybe the reason it got a bad name was that in the depression, everybody was supposed to work hard or starve. You weren't supposed to have no fun.
