Ronnie O'Sullivan has today joined team Sightright, the people who masterminded Mark Williams comeback
So clearly decided something is up with his game.2 -
Not really could be just marketing, easy money.....paulie8290 said:Ronnie O'Sullivan has today joined team Sightright, the people who masterminded Mark Williams comeback

I have seen the arguments for and against with Mark Williams using them, the best one being if he wasn't cuing/ or seeing the ball correctly in the first place how did he ever win that many titles. Might all be down to confidence or focusing a bit more on their game, but obviously works a bit or at least gives someone the confidence.0 -

Riga Masters started today with a number of walkovers.
2 qualifiers out if the 4 heldover had walkovers Defending Champion Ryan Day and World Champion Mark Williams both imto 1st round as Jamie Cope and Rhys Clark pulled out.
Anthony Hamilton and Chris Wakelin into 2nd round as Yan Bingtao and Sam Craigie also withdrew.0 -
The new Challenge Tour is now in trouble I posted this below on the last page.
Interesting start to the 1st Challenge Tour Event, considering the top 2 at the end of the seasin get tour cards.
No Live Scores
No Referee's
No Water for players(thats come from someone playing).
59 people were at that event
Then Challenge tour 2, 64 people were there.
Challenge tour 3 starts tomorrow now it could be an issue of school holidays or people being abroad but only 25 people will be at the event majority of which are English, not many people coming accross from Europe for this event unlike the previous 2.
Challenge tour 4 will be interesting if under 30 people turn up again, I can see the challenge tour being scrapped before 20190 -
I know you said you have spoken to him much @johnnybev1987 but anyway you could speak to Charlie, really interested to hear his viewpoint as he has entered all 3 events now0

I have spoken to him via twitter mainly, only here and there but i can certainly ask his thoughts on it.paulie8290 said:I know you said you have spoken to him much @johnnybev1987 but anyway you could speak to Charlie, really interested to hear his viewpoint as he has entered all 3 events now
Reckon its a bad time of the year, the next one should be fine.
New Pool premier league started on Wednesday week , free sports again did you watch it? The next IPA event they are showing on BBC sport online , its coventry next weekend will be interesting to see how that goes and be good if it kicks off it might put it more on main stream.
I personally feel a massive potential in pool at the moment in blackball rules, much easier on the eye and can grow similar to darts. I previously tweeted Barry Hearn he didnt really think its a starter. I watch alot of pool and money matches, but can see his point. Still think it should be more mainsteam and might grow.0 -
Forgot the do 1st round results last night will do it soon.
But yesterday Murphy missed the yellow on a 147, today this happened.

I have been a bit rubbish with the updates this weekend.
Anyway the Riga Masters final tonight is between
Neil Robertson V Jack Lisowski
I know somebody on here who got 25/1 on Lisowski before the event started0 -
Pressure of a 1st final is getting to Jack.
2-0 behind and missing balls he was potting for fun earlier0 -
Lisowski misses another easy red
Robertson gets a 117 to lead 3-00 -
If and there is a chance now if Lisowski loses this 5-0 I really hope it doesnt affect him for the rest of the season, other than tonight he has looked great all weekend and has an outside chance of getting into the top 16 before The Masters0
-
3-1 Can Jack pull himself back into this.
He needs the next 2 frames IMO0 -

Not quite snooker related but cue sports:
IPA tour event 4 - European event in Coventry is on BBC Sport from tomorrow, this will include the top players: Liam Dunster, Marc Farnsworth, Ben Davie etc
Will be online and the red button from tomorrow morning
Also on Wednesdays they are doing a premier league for the top players starts @ 7 its been on freesports (recently added to virgin) has anyone been watching it? Something to watch, not sure how much its going grow but think there is potential.
At the moment there is a series which event 3 is 17th August, streamed on youtube 4 live matches each session, it includes some of the greats Mick Hill (Current world champion and regarded one of best ever) Chris Melling, Phil Harrison, Jayson Shaw(if you follow mosconi cup, 9 ball champion)
Anyone else got much interest in this, i wont make a new thread just a brief discussion point and letting people know. I play pool county B at mo so try to watch as much as i can at the mo and got more of a bug than snooker.0 -
World Open starts in 1 hour in Yushan China0
-
Curious how these events are seen over there @JessieAddick
Obviously the World Open is a big event but its not really covered here due to the times the matches are, for example first matches start at 2.30AM over here.
And with this event being held in Yushan is that a big town as TBH I have never heard of but seen alot of players talkijg about a 23 hour journey to the event from England0 -
