CUSHIONS?
What's going on...

I enjoyed the placebo cushion rub, very amusing. I can imagine the conversation between the fitters just before it.

Wilson has a son?? You think they'd mention it occasionally, wouldn't you?

If he beats Gilbert I hope Higgins beats him in the semi then whispers in his ear "Who's the daddy?".

We already have cloth, balls and kick issues. Now the cushions are ping ponging all over the place.
Surely WS needs to take a closer look at the consistency of the equipment they choose to use?

Pressume it's the fitters rather than the equipment. Regardless, it's not a new issue. It's just part of the game. Snooker pros should just be less fussy. They should be able to play on any table, with any cue etc it's their job

Again, we hear about Wilson's son in his intro. And you can't call him "The Daddy" when John Higgins is still in!

Oh, are we raving about Kyren Wilsons multiple annoyingnesses again? Yay!

Dave Gilbert always looks like he's possibly the nicest man on earth, doesn't he? Especially standing next to ol' grumpy Cpt. Carter waiting backstage....

He does indeed.

I don't actually believe it is a table issue the problem with kicks and bounces. I think this is down to the cloth. I think its time world snooker went to a much thicker cloth on the bed and cushions. It won't suit a lot of players as scoring will be harder, but it will definitely improve the consistency of conditions, I guess its a trade off.

ROS has mentioned on a few occasions that they need to make tables a bit slower so a thicker nap on cloth and also balls not opening up so easily. Players will need to be more creative or learn to be more accurate with power. Trump will still open the balls up because he has that talent, but soft hitters like Williams, Allen and Ding will need to change their games to compete.

Simple answer is to swap (or at least trial) the Rasson tables.

The cue "rubbing" thing is something you'd see more in american pool, now some snooker players have adopted it.

[Neil Taperell]

Who said that

[Philthepockets]

That and the rubbing the shaft with his hand pre shot routine [ which virtually every one does now ] drives me nuts ……...can't watch him play .

Ever since Ronnie started with cue wxxking ……….every bugger down the club now does it as well

Tell them they will go blind.
