Watching the Williams vs Xiao at the Wuhan Open. August of '25.
The wst.tv monthly is cheap. The 10 lesson in the archives is worth the $10. He'll 2 beers. 🤷♂️
I know what I am seeing with Mark Williams. Xiao is unexplored territory. Should be interesting.
A must view for students of the...
Connect the dots.
In my practicing 3 ball the ink transfer is obvious.
Today's break pad shows the effect of the increase in humidity.
Anyway the glue layer is absolutely good in plywood. 🤷♂️
Oh yeah that didn't take long.
The mention of Higgins rhythm being broken .
Duh amazing what confidence is worth.
Guess I could look for a link. Duh 😉
Found it.

Wow! Check the date and time.
Wuhan snooker has just given the definitive look at Higgins eye patern in Higgins/Wilson at 2-3 going to 5. Should give same on Gary next.

The other was, "can I put my finger in your belly button?" Then she said, "that's not my bellybutton." The reply was. "That's not my finger."
Coles wide spread straight legs were not text book but it was solid.
I was taught to do all the planning while standing and even walking a complete lap around the table during survey then make the plan. Then set the shooting platform. My aiming starts with the belly button and chin on the line...
After watching the video I was directed to this one on the clock system he employed.
I recall that when Efren first came to the USA Buddy was the only player to win A Set on a night when Efren took on all challengers back to back in Texas. I certainly enjoyed watching him play In the Reno Sands...
I found that playing center line with only top or bottom and staying on natural angles was profitable. I enjoyed playing opponents that liked to spin their rock. They generally underestimated my plain vanilla game. It kept them digging for more ammunition and even grumbling to the gal they...
It was the skill set. Being able to deliver the tip to the ball precisely.
Switching from object ball to cueball last was a factor. (most likely 🤷♂️).
Practice with my 3 ball break has shown me how much spin a hard tip can impart. Controlling it takes a little longer to master.
