Its still high enough to make that square-on stance not so brutal. Using it on a pool table, at least for me, would keep a chiropractor in action.

My favorite stance for snooker...although I only used it about 40%...
Joe Davis....I still see nothing wrong with it....the boxer stance.
But I prefer Walter Lindrum’s approach the best...he adapted to every shot.
Ronnie the Rocket gets my vote of the modern players...Walter would’ve loved him.

Big dip in the floor at the black ball end of table #1 at Terry's in Scarborough . Some very strong players would not play on that table . Without their perfect setup, they lost all confidence . The good ole days............... word spread like wildfire when PT109 was making an appearance in beautiful downtown Scarborough . News generally delivered by the local genius..............THE DIGGER !!!

He drew the cueball 6 feet down the table to perfect position left handed on that last red ... the man is the most amazing player ever IMO.
Regarding Selbys fundamentals he often moves his head a lot while down on the shot, has been for years.

It looks to me like his whole upper body trembles back and forth a little. I wonder if any of it is on purpose.
This appears to be the link so others don't have to go searching. Appears you have to sign up, which I am presuming is free. Anybody have any other links?

I just went to "champion of champions snooker" on Facebook.
RO made a poor break-off shot, but SM missed a cut on a red to the middle. RO ran 59 then miscued and scratched on a simple black! But SM managed only 7, and RO completed the frame and match. 6-3.
So O'Sullivan is into the Finals Sunday. 2nd Semifinal is tomorrow, Mark Allen vs. Kyren Wilson.

... which was from Ronnie's in-off on black. Getting ball in hand in the D is not always an advantage especially if there is no red in that half of the table.
Right, Bob. I could have been more descriptive (and accurate) -- something like "But SM missed a long red from the Half Circle, thereby scoring only the 7 points from the foul, and RO ..."

If you count "staying still" as a fundamental, Selby definitely doesn't win any prizes. He always moves before the shot, left to right to left... I don't understand how he's so consistent... He has being doing that since he started playing, you can see it in every single video of him, no matter the year.
It's pretty remarkable how much Kyren has improved over the years.
He's gone from 66th to 9th in about 3 years.
A pretty good video with Kyren and his [well known] coach, Barry Stark

Another with Ronnie talking to Barry about Kryen

And FWIW
Kyren is 8-5 vs Mark Allen
Ronnie has a winning record vs both players. 2-1 vs Kyren and 4-3 vs Mark
