My vocabulary is half as good as most members here

Well i wish i had a decent second language to broaden my horizons, i can read some French and German but can't speak them fluently.

Ronnie not on the TV table tomorrow. They’re showing the Higgins and Selby matches. Can’t work out these schedulers.
I blame all these people with a degree in Events Management.

Think I’ve got that wrong.

Great comeback from The Hawk.

If anyone has any insight into McGills reasons for the 8 ball pool style of play and of course I’m talking glove, crap cue and placement of chalk around the rails per shot…. Oh god, just so sooo disappointed in the lad 🤪

try things for sure, but this just looks desperate!

It's a carbon fibre snooker cue made by Goran Kobas (GO Customs) as per the link. Not sure if that's correct.

Ok, thanks - so in my own cynical way this says to me (well hopefully for Ant anyway) that he's got a contract to use the ugly piece of sheete and is making some money from it. Surely this is the stage of a career where really you've given up and are just looking for ways to pay the bills.... Good luck n all that, but TBH I thought he was better than that. 🤔

It's confirmed, McGill uses a go customs cue.

I find it hard to believe that cue has a 9.5/10mm tip, it looks really thick.

Just watched Ronnie v Ally Carter on youtube, didn't know the score, it was a hard watch that one 😌💩

Well done to Tom Ford. Into the final. I quite like him even tho he’s so miserable lol.

[itsnoteasy]

Well done Tom Ford, came out turbo charged in the last mini session. Not only into the final but the top sixteen for the first time.

I think one should try a cue before judging, whatever the material. Carom players are the masters of touch and angles. They have switched to carbon fibre long ago: you hardly see any wood in pro tournaments, it has been so for decades, and they really make the cueball stop where they want after 8 cushions. The reason they switched to carbon is (a) you can modify the balance of the cue up to your own taste with internal weights at different points of the cue, and (b) the material remains way more consistent over the years. The question may well be why snooker players haven't switched yet, not why McGill uses it. I have been looking for carbon snooker cues for years, maybe now I will find some.

wow, Tom Ford and Zhang Anda have never met before, now meet in the final with big money at stake

[Cue crafty]

What is that music they play in the montages at the end of matches!! 🤣🤣 It sounds like something from Magnum P.I. 😛

[Nifty50]

Two miserable gits in the final! Only joking. Really pleased for them both. Bound to get a smile from one of them tomorrow.
