The World Grand Prix Mar 16-22, 2015

[neuronic]

Just turned on TV. Is ebdon using a wooldridge with blackspin ferrule?

Definitely no brass ferrule there... so could well be.
He certainly doesn't play his old maple cue anymore... obviously he felt he needed to change something. Seems to work.

Probably Stamford with blackspin copy ( sorry, zenith ) ferrule system.

Which match is on TV this evening of the first two? (Williams or Higgins)

ITV4 listing says this evenings matches that they're showing are :

Higgins v Dott
Trump v Dale

I can't resist sneeking a peak every now and then Ebdon just went 2-1 up on Murphy. 3 frames in 1 hour is not even that slow.

Come on Shaun!

[Mr Snooker]

The prize money from the 2013 Haikou World Open has already been removed from the World Ranking (2yr listing) the World Snooker Seeding Cut Off with when money is added and removed states this to be 2nd Feb 2015 (but I have noticed that they are not rigid on the dates in this file).

The prize money from this event is not included in any other ranking list as far as I am aware?
You say "... the players Order of Merit..." did you mean the World Ranking listing?
The PTC OoM is not affected as the Haikou is not a PTC event.
The World Grand Prix is not affected as only the money from 2014 WSC through to 2015 Gdynia are included for this event.

Thanks For your Answer Dean, Yes I did mean the world ranking list when the Haikou was played for Ranking points added to the players ranking and not money, it helps a lot does that.

Perry wins 4-0 while Murphy is down 3-2 and not
playing his best at all. Hopefully Murphy can come
alive and win the next 2.

[Master Blaster]

What is the typeof black ferrule on ebdon's cue?

[robertmac]

Ebdon is missing some shots that arent that difficult
otherwise Murphy would be out by now. Murphy is not
playing well either tho.

[SnookerFan]

Ebdon is struggling to finish the match.

[daffie]

3-3 it is Come on Shaun! :snooker:

[Dr_Doctor]

Brilliant. Happy to see Ebdon win in a more convincing manner.

[brusque]

Smurf shows again what a world beater he is ... can't stop smiling ... can't believe how an otherwise articulate and seemingly well educated guy can have zero tactical brain. I have no problem if a player loses but what shot they choose at what time after being on the pro circuit for more than a decade clearly differentiates men from boys. Smurf has always been a boy and will always be. Ebdon on his E game puts Smurf to bed ... am laughing out loud ... watching Ebdon scratch around is still a pain though but tactical astuteness is still there for anyone to see

[daffie]

Yes good win for Peter. Shaun didn't play particularly well from what I've seen in snippets. Ebdon was tenacious as always

...and once again our good friend brusque doesn't fail to deliver one of his finer posts...you really don't get it...at all
