English Amateur Snooker Championship

[Luke Hooper]

haha it was great to meet you yesterday Andy....im not sure im in any fit state to start aiming for centuries yet...i need to start consistently making 50's first! haha i think thats going to be the new ambition actually...ill set myself a few months or so to start making regular 50's!

[AndyG]

I think I had made 180 breaks over 50 before my first ton. Not sure if that will act as encouragement or not! But I did at one stage improve my pb from 68 to 94 so you never know...

[Luke Hooper]

lol i think ive made around 30 or so 50+ breaks...only 150 to go in that case...considering how often i play, as long as i sort my cueing out and get over this stupid run of form im having i can make another 150 in a couple of weeks! haha

Can i borrow one of your spare one's mates, im stuck on 48 forever it seems

[Theguywithaplan]

Think I'd only made about 20-30 fifty breaks when I had my first ton in a tournament. May be closer than you think, they just come out of the blue :snooker::snooker:

[AndyG]

You must have a lot more composure than me! World's biggest bottler I reckon.

Jrc, I have a nice little 53 from way back in 1992. Think it would fit you perfectly. Keep at it!

[Luke Hooper]

going by AndyG's 180 50+ breaks before a century, ive only got another 129 to go and i should be there! haha i have a feeling a big break is just around the corner at the moment, im cueing very well, (probably the best i have, ever) and although the breaks arent big ones, im knocking in a 20-40 almost everytime i get to the table...had a 62 the other day, a 47, 39, 37 today so yeah...im relatively happy with the way im playing...not sure about a century just yet but no reason why not in practice... (so long as its not on the egham table!)

[AndyG]

Matey, check your private messages and send me an email. We should have a game sometime.

[Luke Hooper]

i thought for sure i replied to you via pm! i will reply (again) now! a game sounds good to me...i dare say you are probably a better standard of player to me but if im cueing as i am now i think i could cause a few problems!

[AndyG]

Obviously I don't want to play you until you hit a dip in form so I will keep a close eye on your progress and call you when you're in despair!

[Luke Hooper]

haha smooth!

[Luke Hooper]

only 128 more 50+ breaks to go...hit 54 today

[AndyG]

You must be about to post a 70+ with this level of consistency. Stay cool and don't try to force it. Its time will come!

[Luke Hooper]

thank you, i do feel like something big is just around the corner i just feel like i wanna get on the table now and continue to play and knock in breaks everytime i get down at the moment..

albeit, after my practice session, played James and could only manage a 21 before trying to make an angle that wasnt there from the pink to reds and missed the pink but landed perfect on a few reds, should of screwed up the table and dropped the top red in but i went for the more risky shot...if only! haha
