Come on Rory.

[Mr Snooker]

Just looked up the Head to Head meetings between Neil and Rory, Neil leads 2-0 and both ocasions the matches were played in the UK Champions in York, in 2005 Neil beat Rory 9 Frames to 8 and in 2008 he beat him 9 frames to 1.

Yeah working with a coach swapping to a no deflection cue after years of wining things with an ordinary cue -
Mark Williams - good guy and I know he likes his social media so he is welcome to come on TSF and join my over thinking it thread anytime he likes

OK EDIT EATING WORDS

Mark tanks Tian 4- -nil played rubbish at first then great when he started playing faster - perhaps I should get one of those cues.

To be fair you're still right apart from the century break Williams was rubbish, only started to play half decent when he knew he had no opponent! Tian was absolutey awful even Jimmy White would have beat him. No offense JW

[Mr Snooker]

Another Welshman out Anthony McGill beats Ryan Day 4-1

[Byrom]

robertson up now

[Mr Snooker]

[Mr Snooker]

quick fire 4-0 win for Mark Willams over China's Tian Pengfei

[Neil Taperell]

How effortless does Mark Williams make the game look when he is in full flow ......a joy to watch .

[Byrom]

I don't think a low deflection cue is going to solve Mark Williams' problems... it's the easy balls he's missing that's the problem and maybe something he's going to have to live with from now on imo...

Willie Criticizising the referees now about the judgement of them calling a foul and a miss saying Jan is one of the fairest on the miss rule when players miss, typical Willie, he said he was also watching the score updates between the Andrew Pagett V Mark Williams pratice match on twitter.

[Mr Snooker]

Still waiting for Willie Thorne's usual saying this as to be in one iof my top ten best breaks of all time, or even if that was an O' Sullivan or Robertson he would never play that shot.

Willie puts Williams in his top 4 of all time.....which one out of Hendry, Davis, Ronnie, Higgins x2 would he omit from that list I wonder.

just heard Willie Thorne mention Mark Williams has a new non deflecting cue, I wonder if it is one of those Acuerate cues. according to Nic barrow who did a video to test one which can be seen on the Snooker Gym site its one of the lowest deflection cues in the world

it is, he's been using it for a few weeks now. He's working with Chris Henry so that explains the change.
