Lol there only easy for certain players!

Come on Barry The Punisher!

[Dani]

This is horrendous.

[guernseygooner]

Exactly, but we aren't allowed to have that opinion because some on this forum will tell you it's not the case and they are tighter than a ducks a***

They certainly look 'forgiving'. I don't know how much a brand new cloth makes a difference. I played on the Star's at the SWSA for the Southwest Open and the cloths were very old (due to be replaced for a PTC the following week).

I have never played on anything tighter. Blacks off the spot catching where the near pocket started didn't drop. Not just my opinion but all 32 entrants. Michael Wasley was working the bar and he said the tables were playing very difficult.

Ronnie hardly has the white cleaned.

[daffie]

I say...each kick earns you 7 extra points...regardless of whether you potted the ball. Should be one hell of a bonus-system.

[Table_of_Reds]

This table is crap. Kicks, roll-offs, big bounces all over the place. Not to mention buckets for corner pockets.

[daffie]

Come on Barry...ruthless! You gotta be ruthless! :snooker:

[Table_of_Reds]

This is Dott 2006 all over again.

[attilahun]

Lol Ronnie. Hawkins will hammer him.

Calm down...it is not first to 3...it is first to 17 frames.....

[Dani]

Lol Ronnie. Hawkins will hammer him.

[Ronnie's tip]

ROS' safety has been really poor.

These pockets are a bit ridiculous tbh.

[scottley]

Pots along the cushion are unmissable as long as you don't play them with power.

Or hit them thick.

[cyberheater]

Pots along the cushion are unmissable as long as you don't play them with power.

The red was not on the cushion. It was about half an inch away from the cushion just under the black spot. It hit the cushion about 8 inches from the pocket and still went in. I've never seen that on a pro table before.

[cyberheater]

LOL. Even Joe Johnson implying the pockets are a bit easy.
