This is the highest level Chinese Snooker event final featuring Ding Jun Hui who has been dubbed the future Tiger Woods of Snooker.

At age 16 his rate of century break making is as good as any snooker player in history. He is averaging a century break every 8 frames of snooker he plays.

Hope some of you guys can watch and enjoy it. :D

How long has he been playing? Is he going to start
playing the big boys in England? Wasn't Ronnie
O'Sullivan averaging a similiar rate of centuries at
16? I know Ronnie made a 147 break when he was 15.

Ding started at around 8yo I believe.

Ronnie has the record for centuries made as a first year player on the World Snooker tour with 26 from over 85 matches. Ding made 14 centuries in just 23 matches this year on the World Tour. The qualifying rounds are much shorter these days.

Marco Fu also made 14 centuries in his first year from just 16 matches.

Ding took half a season to get rolling, be he was piling on the centuries with 6 just in the World Champs qualifiers where he won 3 matches before the World no.23 Barry Pinches got the better of him. Barry Pinches is the form player this year and should be top 10 in the world soon if his current form continues.

Ding won the 2002 World Junior, Asian Championships (Open), Asian Games Gold Medal and China National Championships at age 14.

I've been watching him play all week, and he is the smoothest and most consistent potter I have ever seen. His only fault is that he goes for everything and hence he loses more games than he should against the top pros. Once he works out his choice of shot (safety or aggressive) he will be sooo hard to beat.

There isn't any regular sites for events. It is still quite rare....I will let people here know of my future events. (With more notice next time).

If you didn't already know, there is some great pool content (some free) on www.billiardclub.net

If you're into Snooker, the World Champs will start April 17 to May 3 (I think).

Last year it was broadcast live on
http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsa/n5ctrl/sport/snooker/snooker_56k.ram

Hopefully it will be on again this year at that address.
 
yeah i been watching billiardclub..too bad only one free episode a week...used to be 3, heheh, ah well can't complain...

Thanks Colin
 
Thanks for the info I watched some got cut off a few times it was hard to keep track of the score with the lag and no audio (not that I understand Chinese aways) I didn't see any centuries I assume the 16 year old had blue on? They also had three different players (winners table) rotating in. May of been tired but they all played in one of the games I didn't finish watching but I would think the guy in the black and grey tux won. Some decent games but not the class of the pros in the U.K.

The Video is available now anytime (recorded) at:
mms://61.172.201.153/2004/040229.wmv

Paste into Windows Media Player.

The 16 yo Ding is on the team that sits on the left of screen. He has a jacket with a black front and reddish checkered back.

No hundreds but Ding made a few good breaks, especially a 50 break clearance to steal the frame when trailing 4-1. The match is best of 9 and Ding's team, The Amway Dream Team wins 5-4. Liu Song, who made the Welsh Open final stages this year is also on the Amway Team and the fat kid is a top 9 ball player, but couldn't beat my grandmother at snooker :D

Enjoy the 4+ hour video and let me know what you think.

Sorry no audio or scores...next time, I promise.
