Ok Deanh noted.

[fkhan]

Well I guessed that too, but why say it ? Has the cue been shown close up on telly or something ?

what’s the harm in mentioning the cue makers name?

Darren Morgan, worst commentator, pundit and second rate welsh Eddie Charlton when he was a player.

'Well what do you think then Darren?'............."Well he potted a long red and then missed the black"...........'Yeah we know that you idiot, we all saw it in real time and the replay two seconds later, I was asking you why, not what actually happened, you're here as an alleged expert because you're welsh, do you know anything about jigsaw puzzles?'........."no!"..........'how about train spotting then?'

You can tell this afternoons match is boring me :teapot:

I switched of and watched the pool masters. Entertaining stuff. Earl Strickland had his hands bandaged up like he had frostbite.

It was more that you didn't provide any context - personally I know nothing of cues, so it was meaningless to me!

Who/what did he punch this time?

Joking aside, I really wish they showed more pool outside of Sky Sports.

Its probably those weights he has strapped to his arms and those things he puts on his fingers which he claims keep him down on the shot. He was using them years ago and they turned out to be nothing more than pieces of card with elastoplast around them, weirdly enough they ended up being banned for some reason. Back then he only really used them on jump shots or masse shots, supposed to give his hand a bit more height on the shot.

This was something new. I remember the finger extenders, but these today were huge. He'd taped his thumb and two fingers so much they were about 2 inches wide.
