What do you think of him? As I follow snooker for decades now, I am so amazed by that guy Judd Trump even 'taking on' John Higgins (after surprisingly defeating Ronnie O'Sullivan in the quarter finals!)

...and, is this the first snooker thread ever?

love snooker, don't play it but whenever I see a pool table anywhere I'll give that a whirl

Judd Trump is a star of the future, for sure

I enjoy playing 8 & 9-ball all day long, but snooker tables are just too big for me. It's fun to watch though.

Don't play it myself (I suck ass at 8-ball) but it definately was an impressive performance (I caught a bit of it on the television).

Star of the future? Quite possibly.

I love looking at snooker when O'Sullivan is playing. Damn he's good! otherwise I don't know a shit about snooker

My living room is too small for the table

But yeah, snooker is after motorsports probably the best sport. And I aswell am a huge O´Sullivan fan

Used to play daily almost for a few years and hit my maximum potential skill level and got frustrated with the game (well actually thats not true i was frustrated that i wasnt improving)

I rarely play it after my custom made cue was eaten alive by a Ford (heavy wind cue resting in the boot space with it open, a strong gust pushed the boot to close, hey presto dead boomstick)

Ive played a few proffessional players and been absolutely anihilaited in the proccess, even with a good handicap (+50pts)
They key i found was keeping a clear mind, relaxed posture and a positive focus.
But in snooker that can be very,very,very hard.
The best peice of advice i was ever given was to "Make the cue ball do the work. Not your cueing"

:bump:

So, it's Selby vs O'Sullivan in the Masters. Who's gonna take it tomorrow?
