Simple answer is to swap (or at least trial) the Rasson tables.Originally Posted by the lone wolf View Post"Kryten, isn't it round about this time of year that your head goes back to the lab for retuning?"Comment

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.Comment

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...."That pocket moved!"Comment

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, and that's a bad miss.Comment

Wilson has a son?? You think they'd mention it occasionally, wouldn't you?Originally Posted by nevets View Post"Kryten, isn't it round about this time of year that your head goes back to the lab for retuning?"Comment

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 jobOriginally Posted by the lone wolf View PostComment

If he beats Gilbert I hope Higgins beats him in the semi then whispers in his ear "Who's the daddy?".Originally Posted by Billy View PostOh, and that's a bad miss.Comment

I enjoyed the placebo cushion rub, very amusing. I can imagine the conversation between the fitters just before it.Originally Posted by the lone wolf View Post

Maybe they need to get away from the inconsistencies of wood and start using more stable synthetic materials in the cushion rails.Originally Posted by the lone wolf View Post
You would expect steel backs to be pretty consistent but it would not surprise me if the wood moves with the changes in environment.
Could also be the bonding of the rubbers.Comment
