UK Open 2026, London, May 26-31

Moritz was nice enough to get a photo taken with me despite having just lost heavily in Scottish Open and Jayson was nice enough to give me advice on breaking in the Matchroom format. Glad to see both win comfortably in the first round.

Curious to see how Fraser Patrick gets on. He beat Sevastyanov at the Scottish open which I thought was a pretty impressive result. He used to be a pro snooker player, was never really a household name, someone who was more battling to stay on the tour than win tournaments, but he did once reach the 3rd round of the snooker UK Championships.

Dynaspheres and WNT Launch Major Partnership as the New Balls of the Tour

This sucks
And don’t forget how many players and clubs bought the Aramith Black sets to get used to the colors for WNT events (a lot of smaller events out there)
Now they have to change again.

The cheap Chinese market is killing the European market, for years pro events used Simonis and Aramith (both Belgium) and now it’s CPBA and Dynaspheres

Dynaspheres and WNT Launch Major Partnership as the New Balls of the Tour

I have a slight bit of understanding why they may want to change the colors of the pool balls for the sake of the TV viewing public however why can't they adapt the camera's to get a better quality picture of the table and the balls ?

Granted my experience as a camera op has been motocross and rodeo events but still the camera lens needed to be focused for changing light conditions when shooting a outdoor event .

My question is why not do that for pool matches and leave to color of the pool balls as a standard to reduce any potential confusion for the players along with the viewers at home ?
