Only a matter of time before he enters the 9 ball tour...
Ronnie O'Sullivan does a jump shot - in a snooker match.
- Thread starter OverTheNut
- Start date
FOUL!
In snooker an intentional jump is not allowed. It's up to the referee to determine if it was intentional. Accidentally leaving the bed is not called foul.

He has dipped his toe in the 9 ball world on several occasions. I don't recall it ever working out too good for him...although he may get better results were he to ever dedicate 100% to the game...

The ref called it a foul - like Ronnie knew she would. Frame was long since won. He just did it for the fun of it. Great stuff.
WTF did the ref say?
Ronnie's participating in pool had the appearance of A Lark. Not much money in pool compared to snooker.
His demonstrated jump skills are one aspect of the difference in the games. Given the proper motivation he could adapt.

I got the English part. Was the rest Chinese?
Mike Massey was undoubtedly the GOAT when it came to jump shots.
His exhibition included shrink ah flex which is the material the balls are made of.
The gaps are demonstrated er shown to be too tight to pass through. Then the stripe is pocketed because the harder you hit 'em the more they shrink.

It is insanely easy to jump on a snooker table. If it wasn't illegal you'd see it all the time. IMO it should of course remain illegal, but if you actually try you'll see that it is like nothing to pot even long shots. It's the cloth and heavy slate, combined with light balls.
Gotta wonder re Ronnie's coaching in the current semi finals with Zhao vs Xiao. 
As a lesson the one month subscription equals half a lesson charged.
The clear high definition camera work along with astute comments from the eye in the sky of the former Champs. Oh "Champ" was the nick Cocomo employed towards Me! I just assumed he was xalling me chimp as I was born with a beard.

No, English.
"I call[ed] foul. Yeah. Ronnie O'Sullivan, 74, Xiao Guodong, 4."
lol I gotta listen to that again. thanks.
One of the most impressive jump shot artists that I encountered could jump a full ball with the over size cue ball.. That's full ball at 16 inches with the oversized cue ball with Her shooter.
And oh yeah the C tournament that paid 700 for first place had me playing her in the finals. Go figure. Her name was Debie Hess at that time she shortly after that got married and her last name changed.

Is Earl more impressive jumping with a Meucci, or is Ronnie more impressive jumping with a snooker cue? hahahah
