AJP:
It's mesmerising to watch if you're half-good at the game, because you realise just how good the pros are.

Always makes me laugh - year on year down at the club just after the world champs finishes these new fresh faces turn up, banging balls about, and potting nothing, undoubtedly after watching the likes of O'Sullivan and getting it in their head that it's as easy as he makes it look!

yeh they make it look so easy and make the table look really small! a lot of my friends go to a pool club and are good at pool but crap at snooker. because the table is so big and long your angles have to be perfect. and pockets are usually much tighter on a snooker table.

Its a load of balls :evilgrin:

Nice random thread AJP - a bit different than talking about cars.

I also grew up in the 80s but properly got into snooker in the 90s (the Hendry years). And I've loved it ever since. Never been a player though, as I'm pretty awful at it.

Also looking forward to the Masters - it is usually my peace time in front of the box for several days and I don't get disturbed.

Do you know if O'Sullivan is playing this year - can't recall seeing him at all last year in any of the tournaments.

Watch this video to get you in the mood:-



Classic O'Sullivan  :smiley:

My dad used to own a snooker club so I used to go frequently. My practice was more in vain as I could never get past the 30-40 breaks but enjoyed it. Managed to get down the Cruciable last year to witness Shaun Murphy destroy Barry Hawkins.
