Whatever he did , it does works . Marc .
you never know how this gonna end up , though !!
Interesting match .

Yeah, I wouldn't like to call this one yet, still finding their feet.

Tbh, even if they are big, I'm sure the cloth and balls were much tougher to play on than the modern equipment, so I still have massive respect for pro's of any generation!

Great players rise to the top of the players and conditions that are around them at the time.

The standards are completely different nowadays as the stats suggest but who's to say that the great players of old wouldn't have risen to top given the same opportunities of the modern day players.

But that's for another thread!

As you say the old school would be amazing on modern tables and balls

The golden era of snooker, huh?

That was laughable by today's standards. I seriously reckon I could have given either of those two a run for their money. And I can't play for toffee! :biggrin-new:

I really like the pool-style look of the table. Ironically it looks more modern than today's tables.

suppose you could have run faster than bannister as well lol or jumped higher than fosbery ! you ever played under those conditions? thought not

[golferson123]

Do you know where the crack is Dean?

sure dean knows where the crack is lol

First time a have seen player advertising cue maker. Murphy has parris cues on waist coat

I'd be surprised if Murphy didn't win this now, massive amounts of momentum with 3 to play.

Like to see someone doing the heights they do now with the straddle!!

Guys like Fosbury just broke the mould. Where did he even get the style from!

sure dean knows where the crack is lol

Lol :biggrin;

Actually on the cue, no idea

[Billy]

I should be a betting man - I'd never lose. All I'd need to do is bet on the player I didn't want to win, which in this case would have been Murphy. Looks like momentum has shifted now and Luca will have to play very well to get it back.
