Mosconi Cup 2025, Dec. 3-6, Alexandra Palace, London

For VIP ticket holders, dinner starts about 5PM.

I've been here since Thursday, getting used to the time zone and weather. Only light rain and drizzle so far. (y) ;) Actually, the weather has been pretty good for walking around.

I'm off to York this morning by train to see Ronnie O'Sullivan play in UK Snooker Championship

can you explain please this break shot by Yapp?

No need to rule anything. The pics are just fine. Just want to know how much back ball you the cue ball is aimed at and where the stick points.
Ah, I see, the cue is misaligned to the burn mark. That's what you mean.
The burn mark is the intended line of travel, meeting at the point I described above. The cue is attempting to point at the desired striking position on the CB.
As mentioned above, It's a hard stun, with a touch of outside. Some players flourishing their arm in a pronounced fashion like Yapp to excentuate this - I have noticed in some footage I do this, some I do not - as Island Drive mentioned, it is a 'feel' shot and breaking in any format requires some 'on the job' flexibility and alteration (that's what separate the top guys from us mortals... the speed they make those adjustments)

I thought I was being helpful 😂 I can try draw some lines on later. You mean you want to see the lines through to the end of the table? Maybe it's just not the best photo, was hard to hold the cue steady with one hand, and picture with the other lol


It’s not different, simply quite heavily worn. It’s about 5 months of almost daily play.

Where on the back ball do the lines (cue and center ball) go?

Why is the burnout line different? Or is it?
