Weeks best break

[Luke Hooper]

just pulled the pro granite off after a dismal practice session, i know its probably me and my cueing being rubbish but i dont really like hte pro granite tips anyway so it had to go...just in the process of putting a MW tip back on, hopefully i can get back to making 50's again!

high break today,

28. and a 27 (about 6 times) and a hatfull of 25's...

annoying.

[Luke Hooper]

BLAH!!!

what a difference a GOOD tip makes...

surely this cant be the reason but hey hers what happened..

so i ccouldnt get used to the pro granite tip, and so i had to cut it off even though it had only been on a week or so... When i was on form i was using an MW tip which was on its last legs, so needed to be changed, so i chopped it for another MW tip which was spongey, soft, and horrible, was a bad tip and i couldnt pot anything, james gave me a pro granite tip to try so i put that on, couldnt really get used to it so after a bad game today i decided to cut that off as well and try MW tips agaqin...

put it on, left it a few hours and went back to the club for a knock about again a few friendly frames with a player who is fairly decent.

if you have seen my rants about egham's table before youll know that knocking in a break is stupidly difficult on it as the pockets are cut incorrectly (all will be sorted in the christmas break period, i hope)

but anyway, first frame, i knock in a 38, missing a sitter of a pink which i know was just because i twitched it thinking there was a high break on... 2nd frame i was about 26 behind and i pulled out a 45 clearance, last frame i was about 40 odd in front, and i pulled out a 48 clearance, beating my highest break on that table by 1 point haha..

im sort of happy again now, now back to making 50+ breaks i hope!

Luke , sounds like the same experience i had with the pro granite . Just too hard for my liking . Glad to see you are back to your best .

Do you fancy a few frames over the xmas period . Egham is not that far from me ?

I'm playing about as bad as I have done in a while at the moment. In a pairs match on Monday night I knocked in 20, 18 and 17(x2) in one frame, and I knocked in a 24 in a singles match last night. Really struggling at the moment

I know this threads about breaks but snooker is not all about breaks is it? Last week I had a 132 in losing 7-6 to a regular practise partner of mine. This week I won 10-0 but 77 was my highest break. Guess which made me happier?

[Welshsteve]

I remember the first 30+ break I ever made in competition. It was a 49 (7 reds and pinks). I lost the frame. Was well gutted LOL

[EvilDealer]

Got a 46 and 34 last night. Missed a simple red on the 46 trying to cannon two other reds.... Following on from my previous session when I got a 63 clearance and a 34 clearance..
Can't wait to get back on the baize :snooker:

[Luke Hooper]

Hi Neil, sounds like a plan! I'd be upfor that, probably would recommend playing at rileys instead of my local club, as the table has a tendency to break people and make them either want to chop the legs off the table and use them for firewood or beat themselves up with their own cue, which is what I did on Thursday! Haba

[Neil Taperell]

Luke , i'm not bothered where we play .......i can play rubbish on any table

Weather permitting , we can get something sorted out .

PM you nearer the time .

[Luke Hooper]

sounds awesome...

dont worry, im going through a dip right now myself! haha...i WAS 39-0 against my dad, until 12 pints of fosters got in my system and i forgot how to play! i even videod the damage so im contemplating posting the video for everyones enjoyment at my hilarious drunk self attempting to play snooker! lol

[Acrowot]

Maybe that is your problem Luke .... too much alcohol!
:snooker:

[Bulkie]

92, 98, 105 and 131 lineup.

22 in practice LOL.

[cazmac1]

80 tonight, two reds left one on the cush and one above the pink. finished almost straight onbthe black and had to play a forcing stun to get on the red above the pink, just brushed the pink and ruined my position. End of break.

[hotpot]
