    Alex' stroke I am Alex' number 1 fan along with a lot of others, but It seems that the snooker players tend to have a stroke with slow acceleration. Alex is of course a great cueist, but he seems to have that rapid acceleration on the fore-swing that is more suitable to pool. Also...

    Challenge of Champions dump

    Around 2005 in Atlanta, I think at one of Johnny Archer's tournaments maybe when he and Kim opened the room in Marietta, Corey gave Shane the 8 playing 10 ball (or 9 ball) on a ridiculously tight one-pocket table in Atlanta, sort of a gaff game, and beat Shane as I recall.

    Challenge of Champions dump

    Was this really a dump? Your opinion ... You are allowing CJ to hijack this thread. This thread is about whether it was a dump, and the specifics of the dump. Like Buddy's tries to scratch, again and again, with some success. The absurd miss of the 8 and the equally absurd dog of the 8-9...

    After watching Gerard Greene play Lee Page I no longer believe Buddy Hall dumped to Spanish Mike in the 1991 Challenge of Champions. In game 6, down 4 to 1, Greene was working on a 40+ break and got great on a red, a dead straight shot of 18 inches with effortless shape on the black. He...

    Having watched a few matches now, it seems to me that Alex will be able to compete with an average professional snooker player, defining average as say outside the top 25. These guys miss, they are human. He may be able to compete with the best, given time, experience and dedication.
