Find it quite amusing that all these players that claim to be better players on tight tables because they concentrate better, keep kidding yourselves, if you cant hit regular centuries on club tables regardless of slower speed rolls ,etc, u certainly wont be doin in on star tables!

Are you saying people don't play better when they concentrate better/more?Originally Posted by Manu147 View Post
No-one is saying they could make a century on a star table, but not a club table, where did you get that idea?"Do unto others 20% better than you would expect them to do unto you, to correct for subjective error"

I,ve played on the star tables in Gloucester ant yes they are tight but there are a lot tighter tables around in our league in the old workingmens clubs .Comment

The point would be that believing beacause the pockets are bigger ur concentration isnt as good as tight tables, im saying that players of a certain standard dont become better players on tighter tables, if un cant concentrate on a snooker table regardless of pocket size then the tables are not the issuse.Comment

You've got it backwards. On a tight table, which I play on far less frequently, I concentrate more because:Originally Posted by Manu147 View Post
1. It's a rare occasion, so I don't get blase about it.
2. The table is tighter so I know I need to be more accurate.
In contrast I play more on club tables, and on less serious occasions (practice, frame with mates, etc) so I concentrate less well and play less well as a result.
It's not a 'belief' it's a measurable fact given my own personal results. About all anyone could argue is that I don't have enough results on better tables to make a fair comparison. But, there is a trend, and that's what we're talking about here.
No-one is saying that they "become better players" on tighter tables. They're saying they "have played better" or "have better results" on tighter tables.Originally Posted by Manu147 View Post
Sure, perfectly true, but also irrelevant to the point being made. Everyone can concentrate to some degree, and everyone can make an effort to concentrate more on certain occasions. On those occasions we have better results, which stands to reason.Originally Posted by Manu147 View Post"Do unto others 20% better than you would expect them to do unto you, to correct for subjective error"

It is a fact that I have play better on match tables this might come down to a number of factors cloth/table being true etc. this has nothing to do with century breaks. The last time I played on match cut tables in a comp I had an 83 and and 54 in two matches best of three. Be amused all you like.Originally Posted by Manu147 View PostComment

Might observation is still the same, nrage if you read my post correctly and understand the game you would understand the point i was making, you wont be producing a higher level of snooker on a tighter table as your level of accuracy does not increase, any technical flaws will only be highlighted, hence a top amateur might trouble a pro to a greater extent on a club table, than on a star table where the better cueist in accuracy more than not will dominate, and cazmaz anybody who changes his cue everyday i just cant take u seriously!Comment

Same back at you
. To be honest I don't think you know any thing about snooker.
I thought the whole point of the tread was that the pocket on this pro table take the ball better than my club table suggesting that the pockets are bigger than my club table, but you have turned it round to say that were saying we play better on a tighter table which is not what has been said.Comment

He might know a bit, the 147 implies at least...
I have played on a riley arisotcrat in a club that was way tighter than the stars tbf. but not many have been.Last edited by cally; 9 December 2011, 11:19 PM.Comment

I always find the tight ones can take some workin to get in but if you keep at it sure enough the sides will take it in nicely. Most round here are like buckets.... Just falls inComment

The guy might be able to make a 147 but he's posted on to this thread which was going along nicely with some valid comments before making it personal by attacking me. I have been playing for 30 years in that time I've played on all sorts of tables and although I haven't made a 147 think a know a few things about the game and as such am entitled to have an opinion just the same as any one else. The fact that he brought my cue changing into an argument tells me the guy ain't that bright anyhow. Now let me think who else changing his cue often, OH Ronnie O'Sullivan, he might be right I could never take Ronnie seriously either.Originally Posted by cally View PostHe might know a bit, the 147 implies at least...
