And 5 and 6 are practically sitting on each other
UK Open 2026, London, May 26-31
- Thread starter Bob Jewett
- Start date
A man of culture I see.
Top 16 snooker pro having a go against a top pool pro. Snooker cue, snooker stance, and all:
I wish I could play this safety as well as Marvin
wise choice. he practices with that cue 6-8 hours a day, would be idiotic to suddenly play with a pool cue
he won against januarta

you can watch the replays the day after- yesterdays are there now, and you seem to be able to rewind the stream as far as you like. There does seem to be a period in between when it's not live, but the replays aren't available.
Pretty sure kick-safes are a combination of skill + luck. Would be tough to do that 5 times in a row, like pocketing a straight in shot, which is mostly skill.
Like Jayson Shaw's viral 2-rail kick on the 8ball, I doubt he can execute that twice in a row.
The best part is, he pushed into that position and that safety won him the match
Playing conditions at the UK Open are challenging. Frankie Hernandez shared a post about his experience. I don't think this is sour grapes, either. I can't imagine playing in a gymnasium with no AC. Then there's the limited time on the practice tables. I hope WNT will do better next time.
Meanwhile, Ko brothers are having fun playing Chinese 9-ball (Duya Legends Tour, where they score points for balls made and for runouts). 10 points go for b&r, 7 for a golden break (happened to KPC's opponent), so the ring girl carries respective number after the rack. To make things clear how many added to player's current score.
And note the Chinese managed to measure cue ball speed on the break. Unbelieveable!!! They must have hired Elon Musk to achieve that.
KPC's breaking power is superior (other pic is for his opp).

To be fair it was the hottest it's ever been in May in history on the first day of this event!
Mirror image the first diamond on the bottom rail and shoot for that, not the ball. No english. That just complicates learning the path of the cue ball.
Tyler is about to start having flashbacks of the Mosconi Cup
Should be an easy win for Neuhausen.
I saw there was a mark capito from the Philippines, he related to Robbie?
possible. he's UK based, robbie is HK based and that was a british colony until 1999. surname is rare
