Ronnie O'Sullivan will use a purple cue at next week's Wembley Masters as part of a new sponsorship deal with Premier Inn hotels, according to the Press Association.
Robbo's potting is so good he doesn't need to bother with positional play like the rest of the players. He laughs in the face of those who spend hours on the practice table perfecting their cue ball control! ~ Forman 2009 Grand Prix Fantasy Game winner
What would be the point? It wouldn't stop the double threads.
I'd better shut up.

Therefore I'm addressing it in this thread and not Monique's.

Article has been deleted from SSB (but not TSF) because article does not state that Ronnie will actually be using the cue, just that he has been given it and he is thinking about it atm.
I hope and pray that he doesn't use this cue as this smacks of desperation to me. Whether or not this has anything at all to do with Barry Hearn, such a drastic grab for press attention so soon after taking over would seem to most people that Ronnie's under his new found influence and prepared to do anything he's asked of. We all want to see positive changes and interesting ideas but purple cues? Please! We not american after all.
I often use large words I don't really understand in an attempt to appear more photosynthesis.
This has nothing to do with Barry Hearn and all to do with promotion for his sponsor Premier Inn. What do sponsors look for if not publicity?
As for playing with it in the Masters why not? What's so outrageous about a purple cue? It's only a cue, a very conventional cue in a new look.
Were you outraged also when the dress code was relaxed (a tiny bit) and shirts other than white were accepted?
Personally i see nothing wrong with O'Sulliivan playing with a Purple cue at all. Who knows it may catch on and one day we may see many pros playing with different coloured cues, or on the other hand maybe not.
Who cares, at the end of the day i really dont see what the big deal is here..
