2022 World Snooker Championship (Apr 16th - May 2nd)

[PoolBum]

Trump misses a combination in the side (or a "plant," as those crazy Brits call it), and Ronnie wakes up with a beautiful run to go up 13-8.

At laaaaaaaaaaaast, my Ronnie has come along. A massive visit to the table. Ronnie clears the table for the win, and it's now 13-8 at the interval.

Courage
Composure
Technique
Are the big 3 Stephen says are required. Ronnie admits to constantly looking to improve his technique. Kinda like Tiger. It seems he is really comfortable with his technique this whole tournament. Both are exhibit ing courage and composure(so far). Will be interesting to see who gets found out and by what.

Etta James approves this message.

Perfect technique can lead to confidence....no no no wait ..... confidence in technique can lead to perfect.

 

[gregcantrall]

The camera was quick to show Judd's technique to be flawed.

 

[gregcantrall]

Which came first the composure or the technique. Composure breakdown lead to finding foundation weakness.

 

[gregcantrall]

When you have knowledge and technique you just need bottle.

 

[gregcantrall]

Action, we've got Action.

10- serving 13. Judd's serve

 

[gregcantrall]

Hit the 7 wobble red to miss the 6 wobble black

 

[JAM]

Unbelievable. Ronnie is missing, but so is Judd. But Judd is scoring, and Ronnie is not. Therein lies the rub. Quite a different atmosphere today than yesterday.

 

[gregcantrall]

Ronnie stuck on break shot. Nail safe

 

[gregcantrall]

Judd......"oops"

 

[gregcantrall]

The comments are like watching Jeopardy. I can only be proud of anticipation of same thoughts. Maybe once I predicted something they overlooked.

 

[Geosnookery]

Good to see Snooker as top billing on BBC sports. Pleasantly surprising with the end-stretch tight races the Premier League and other leagues.

 

[gregcantrall]

Sometimes they don't mention the safety or tester aspect of Ronnie's missed balls. He appears comfortable and can live with shots. His safety found Judd out.

 

[JAM]

Ronnie scores. One more frame left to play in this session. Thank goodness. I have to go to work. I'll be glad when this World Snooker Championship is over, but then we have the Masters starting up May 5th.

 

[gregcantrall]

Never never never play this level on a new tip. Cole would tell you that!!!

 

[JAM]

Commentator said Ronnie told him he had his tip on for 4 months. Fibers have been poking out, and so Ronnie decided to do a little self-cue maintenance.
