Has O'Sullivan Changed His Head Position?

[Scaramouche]

Watching O'Sullivan vs Williams - Ronnie seems to be playing with his left eye more over the cue. When he made the fastest 147 he seems to have been more centred.

Yes, Wity, this is a question about eye dominance

Now back to the match.

Scaramouche:

Good point. Another thing I noticed is that Ronnie seems to be using more of a boxer stance than the square-on stance he used to use.

Side note about the eye thing: one thing that is known, is that eye dominance *does* change as one gets older. It could be gradual (natural aging process of the eyes), or it could be sudden (e.g. affliction of the eye or retina).

It's seem slight enough that it might not be by design. But then you never know, I remember commentators saying a while back that Ronnie is nut for fundamentals. As long as he's cut out that "I'm past my prime" nonsense I'm happy.
