I reckon this is a decent clearance, tell me why I'm going wrong? A part from that this is a nice piece of history before WWII.

They say pockets are more generous nowadays, this one went in! It was hit at a fair lick as well.

Would be interesting to watch and compare with the quality of today.

He doesn't look that much of a player tbh. Yellow to Green isn't great, then he plays the green plain ball without side, getting too close to the brown. Ronnie would have stunned round the two angles to get on it properly. WL seems to play most stuff plain ball. Bit of a whacker! lol

So would Horace if he were playing on today's tables with today's balls. Those balls look so heavy. Imagine going in to a tightly grouped pack of reds - you'd have to absolutely pummel it to get any split at all!

Regards the green - he definitely had right hand side on that ball. You can tell the angle it came off the cushion. A plain ball stroke would have left the white virtually touching the brown.

Can Ronnie pot balls using an egg? :biggrin-new:
