Anybody care to try this?
Far too difficult for almost any club player out there.

Saw it yesterday and yes, quite difficult to be honest. But I think his previous video, going for a ton with two reds stuck on the cushion and with just pink and black is even more insane.....So much accuracy required ! No wonder why he's a pro and a mighty good one. Bright future...

I'll give it a go tomorrow, will post a video if I accomplish it.

When you watch this you know why I think he will be world champion.

I've seen Akani posts loads of practice routines like this and he clears them frequently and he looks like going off the Main Tour.

McGill is a decent player but talk of him becoming a world champ is a little premature IMO. Nothing against him as he seems a nice guy but I just don't think he has what it takes. Maybe too nice to be a winner.

I agree with ADR, I think he'll be a world champ one day. Has the dedication, the talent, the grind, the will and most importantly, the brain. He's been nurtured by one of the most knowledgeable players out there in Alan McManus and you can see how he plays a similar intelligent game. He's smart at the table. Can make centuries but defend like a mad dog as well. To me, he's got the complete package to go far. Surely he isn't a flamboyant player ala Ronnie or Trump, not at all, but he's not less of a danger.

If you look back 10 years ago, I doubt a lot of people would have thought that Mark Selby was going to be the monster he's now. Was a good player but a future multiple-world champ? World number one six years on the trot? I see your point but so many things can change the career of a player for the good....or the bad.

I think folk would have said that about Bingham a few years ago, but you probably have a point.

Just had a look on Oddschecker and thought to myself if he's 25/1 or more I'll chuck a few quid on him. Some bookies are offering 80/1!

All the pro players in the top 1oo could easily do these routines - its nothing special to them and I totally agree with this post. He is too nice to be a winner

Video makes this look simpler than it is. Just fitting 5 reds between black spot and black cushion makes you think. There's barely 2mm or so space between the balls.
So I tried for some 20mins on tightest table we have in our club. Well, I was stubborn and wanted to solve 5 reds below the black starting from the one closest to the cushion. Potted a few good ones, but didn't get very far...I'll stick to regular lineups...
I have no doubt that very high level amateur players could clear this up...with some effort of course.

I had a go at it this morning, my table is very tight now as I had the slate line extended further than star tables when it was re-clothed. Made it quite challenging, but after a few attempts I cleared it up to the colours. Didn't get on the yellow because I got a thumping kick on the black which threw the cue ball into the pink!!

Well, that's impressive, you've done most of the hard work. Ever thought about Q school?
