I think it's more a case of you not seeing the blindingly obvious.
Your first paragraph is breathtakingly ignorant. If it is so easy, you do it!
If you can watch a film like The Hustler and call it **** then it shows you have a complete lack of insight into everything you watch, look at or see. You're simply blinkered by your own beliefs and prejudices.
If it's so difficult, how come Tom Cruise learned his 'slegdehammer break' in just five weeks, probably less than that as it took him most of that time to learn to pot balls and control the cue ball having never had a cue in his hand at all in his life.
The smaller the table, the bigger the pockets, the easier it is. Now what is it about that concept that you don't understand.
Lol. More straw manning. Find me where i said the hustler is a **** film. I said i hate all films or tv shows where actors play pool or snooker (or any oher sport for that matter). Newman was half plausible, i suspose, but good luck to you if you think the woeful cruise looked like a player in TCOM.

The thing is vmax, arguing with biggy is totally pointless. While you are trying to bring a point across, he just wants to be confrontational. It's what he thrives on. To me he gave his game away when he called Schuhmacher and Hamilton ex karting world champions. That showed that his arguments are not based on facts. If I would hazard a guess I'd say he's a 14 year old kid who hasn't left his bedroom for the last 2 years and lives on forums and his xbox. Quite intelligent no doubt but not very smart, because that only comes with life experience. He's probably on a knitting forum somewhere arguing with sweet little grannies about the pro's and con's of the double stich as we speak. He's not gonna go away so just treat it as a bit of fun. Every forum out there has it's Biggy.
Lol. So you were with me right up to the moment I mentioned Schumacher and Hamilton then? Riiight...
Where are these knitting forums of which you speak? They sound fun. Will make a nice change from playing Medal of Honour 4 with me school chums and i have 20 minutes to kill before me mam gets the tea on.

I disagree, I think he really believes it and it's like discussing religion with a Jehova's Witness and telling them why I'm a blood donor, I have an appointment this afternoon in fact. All they have is their book and I'm armed with cold hard logic and a bit more humanity than them.
Here's to a nice cup of tea and some choccy biccies
Don't have a pint after giving blood - I've seen what it can do to a chap, and it ain't pretty.
The part reflecting reality. No former snooker play has truly mastered he break, certainly not without many years of dedicated practice at any rate.
Cue power takes time to develop. Snooker players don't have it. A big heavy CB takes a different technique to get moving.
There are other players as good as or better than SVB - the Ko's, Chang, a host of asian/Filipino players we've probably never heard of...pool is so fractured it's impossible to determine the 'best'.
No offense mate, snooker players have way more cue power, size of balls is irrelevent as pool cues also hold more mass. Judd Trump, Neil Robertson...dont think anyone has more cue power then those two. That being said, cue power is not just about strength itsself but about the acceleration of the stroke in combination with strength and follow through.
You are entitled to your opinion, of course, but you are simply wrong. It takes a long time for snooker players to develop a decent break, and few truly master it.
The difference in power is very noticeable. Judd and Robertson time their shots exremely well with the smaller, lighter snooker balls, but would have to completely alter their technique to make the transition to the larger, heavier pool ball. Not impossible by any means, but takes time.

please can we keep knitting out of this discussion - it's even more difficult than either snooker or pool ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knitting ... I very nearly knitted a 147 the other night but I missed the final reverse stockinette stich ...
I think embroidery is far harder to do than knitting.
that's absolute rubbish Byrom ... if I didn't know you better I'd think you were trolling ... I'm quite happy to take anyone on in a best of 9, embroidery vs knitting

absolute tosh your needles are far bigger than mine and threading is far easier

Either you thought it was a completely **** film or you haven't seen it, but as you think Newman was half plausible I would hazard a guess that you have, seeing as he hardly had a cue in his hand in TCOM.
