Are there any videos or DVDS ( that will play on american equipment ) of Mr Ronnie. I think it would be a lesson in its self watching him play a few great games.

Actually the run was only 5 minutes and 20 seconds. The entire frame from the break off might have been 7 minutes. I ve that one on tape as well as his 147 at the 2003 WC. Incredible!

I have about 100 hours of Ronnie playing in snooker tournaments, unreal footage. Siome matches as long as
8 hours! The problem with watching a lot of snooker is that you can't really go back to watching pool, you'll be saying "how the hell do they miss on those small tables with huge pockets"?

Because not many people are familiar with snooker tables in the US, it's a bit harder to have an appreciation for their skill. It's no wonder why many accomplished snooker players are able to make the transitions so well.

His stroke is great, and very natual. He doesn't need half an hour for his pre shot routine. It's a game of feel when he is on, and it's obvious he is feeling it on this run.
