The Masters 2014

I did the tip on this cue, he tried 4 different cues from raymo and picked out this one, as someone else said its a green plate cue. He got it before the qualifiers for germany and haikou, literally that week but seemed a lot happier with the cue so stuck with it and I doubt he'll change again

What tip did you put on mate? Size and make would be interesting. Do you do a bit of sanding and filing for him or do you leave that up to him?

Trump misses another relatively easy red in the second frame. Marco looks solid at the moment.

[frazz]

Always kamui black m/h but he asks to get them made harder from the company. I do everything for the tip, its 11 mm which i cut to size on ferrule but he likes it slightly inward so he cant see the tip at all.

[Erwan_BZH]

thanks for the info Frazz. Surprised he wants them any harder, there are already rock hard! what's the ferrule size by the way?

Is anyone watching this on Eurosport 2 HD. Is the visuals slightly delayed relative to the sound or has Joe Johnson suddenly become psychic.

[frazz]

I think its 9.7 but maybe slightly over like 9.75. The kamuis aint as hard as they used to be for whatever reason, he preferred to get the tingy noise when you first put it on but that stopped until he asked for them harder

[PatBlock]

Great 4th frame! And it went the right way, 2 - 2. Very interesting match so far...

Yes, can't beat a frame like that. :smile: Quite a few mistakes in breakbuilding from both players so far, but I kind of expect one of them to put a few good frames together after the interval.

It was the same yesterday afternoon, but I think they fixed it for the evening. I think David Hendon mentioned that he saw Mark Davis having a drink with Terry Griffiths at the interval, which means the Eurosport commentators are at the venue for a change. Maybe that's why they are having sounds issues...

Thanks. At least I'm not going mad. Hopefully they have sorted it out during the interval.

Thanks for that Frazz

What a lovely 138 by Marco Fu. Well done.

[Odrl]

Some good tactical stuff from Trump, he had almost all colours safe with Fu needing a clearance to win the frame. :smile:

[Odrl]

Some tough balls are starting to go in for Trump now. I'm not sure which one was better, the red along the black cushion in the last frame, or the long red to give himself a chance of the century in this frame... :smile:

Yes. He can play a very good safety game if required.
An amazing 120 in that last frame by Trump. What a great high quality match this is turning out to be. Very enjoyable.
