Dear David Hendon
Being such a prolific snooker writer to so many outlets I hope this info’ is not kept “in house”.That was very devious Clive, giving such a lame excuse for your dismissal from the BBC. They wanted a Harry Worth.
You became complacent Clive in commentary’s: The reason the cue ball didn’t reach the cushion was: The ball was not hit hard enough!
And two shots later: The reason the cue ball hit the cushion and went round the green that time was: The cue ball was hit too hard.
These expressions Clive are less than ponderous; even to the “fool from Goole”. Joe Davis was snookers first coach, Mr Copyright,
Joe reinvented the game and indirectly created many multi-million pound industries that depended solely on the Joe Davis coaching methods.
Joe was one of three remarkable characters. A very liberal and generous person, a wrongly advised person that could not take advice, or a duped person subjected to “early day muggers”.
Joe Davis in today’s (me) culture; Joe would be Mr WPBSA and Mr Original and definitely a Lord of the Realm for creating a completely new industry and millions of jobs worldwide.
The fact that, the Joe Davis © method “got lost” in the “Public Domain” must be a great relief to many snooker bandits, especially Terry with his diplomas for sale business in Wales.
W/S should launch an enquiry into the disappearance of the Joe Davis copyright. The great mans family name and the “Game of Snooker” and the country has lost Royal Recognition.
PS Was Joe or his rep’ invited to the tobacco table?

That’s very interesting. And I can agree to a certain point.
Unfortunately much of the copy-written materials today seem not to carry much weight.
As a pool player, coach, instructor, etc. for 25-years, I can tell you that every league has their own set of rules they want their members to play by.
But when you have 100 different leagues one little slight difference is all that’s needed to make my set of rules different than your rules and the guy’s in the next city. I mean how many ways can the game of ’8′ ball be played? Or, any other game of pool or snooker?
The same can be said of his teaching routine.
I, and most of the instructors I collaborate with, all begin the same way, with the basic fundamentals, ie – the stance, the bridge, etc, and gradually move up the ladder, depending on how much the student knows.
So if it seems that my method is comparable to someone else’s, that’s just the way it happened. No one took, borrowed or stolen anyone else’s method. It just happened to be the same, or close to the same.
Please don’t get me wrong… I’m not knocking your complaint, I just don’t see any way to bring these people around to justify your cause.
Good Luck, and good shooting.
