Not your everyday 125

Ronnie O'Sullivan 125 v Ding Junhui SF Champion o…: http://youtu.be/5YvrHBC-gbE
Just pure genius, wow!

Absolutely wonderful! Besides being rife with some of the best, most accurate long-distance shooting you'll ever see, you'll also see something unique as well -- camera perspectives that show what nap cloth does to a slow-rolling ball.

Take for example the pink at 6:10:

Notice how the pink ever-so-slightly "bends" into the side pocket, because the ball is traveling against the nap of the cloth!

Very cool all the way around!

Christ that was quick, it only finished an hour or so ago.

Goodish match. Quite funny to see Ding spit the dummy on the practice table during the interval.

Fingers crossed for Trump tonight, but fear he'll be ground down by Robertson.

Thanks.
At 3:50 , simply super brilliant pot of black into centre pocket from impossible angle
Ronnie is easily the biggest superstar of any cuesports in past decade and probably the most talented also. Genius for sure-such a player only comes once in a lonnnng time :D

Yeah, I think you're right -- I'm keeping me fingers crossed for Trump as well, but have the same fear.

Trump needs to make himself out of hickory, not balsa wood. He grinds down too quickly.

He and ding are similar players. Neiher has the mental game to fulfill their immense natural talent. Not something you can coach. You can physically spot when they are under pressure - they each have an involuntary eye twitch.

The temptation to use beta blockers or similar must be overwhelming.

Trump won. It was a cracker. Not great quality from either player but drama in spades. Great stuff.
