Ronnie O'Sullivan Chinese 8Ball Ambition... Interesting...

www.facebook.com

I’ve seen an exhibition match he played and when he plays it doesn’t look boring… clears the table fast.

He said he enjoyed playing Heyball.

 

[MitchAlsup]

Do what you enjoy. Retire when you no longer enjoy doing it.

It really does not matter what "it" is.

 

[Flakeandrun]

He'll be playing under the HK flag in the olympics

slop counts? and they try to sell this game like its new coke or something

corner pockets look like pool table pockets more than full on radius like its supposed to be
much easier pocketing

"Any hole is a goal" the Chinese table adopting a very Epstein-ian philosophy

Same as snooker right? What do you think of pool ball snooker?

They are like snooker table pockets and they are much harder than pool table pockets

Broken record but if you got rid of the jaws you can have super tight _and_ the full range of any pool game.

They are 3.35" corners with 2 1/4" balls.. Snooker tables are 3.375" with 2 1/16" balls

Lol. No, real snooker with the bigger balls. Give the Americans a chance.

I know American snooker was formulated into its own game in the past. I would be curious to play it. 10ft Brunswick tables and numbered balls I think? I remember seeing a post about it before.

I'd love to see more players from different world regions playing actual snooker. Before the WST, when it was a mostly commonwealth affair, my father would always have increased interest in the 'foreign' players. Especially Canadians.

Only the sides are fully rounded like snooker pockets

I sometimes take pool balls onto the snooker table. Practice shots from the blue spot into the top corner, or putting the cueball on the pink spot and playing the yellow or brown into the top corners.

Depends which table, this exhibition match likely had easier pockets. It's for the spectators to say WOW.
Chinese table tournament pockets are set to the same standardized side, which I believe is cut to template the same as WST tables.

Don't know a thing about American snooker. I was thinking actual 12' snooker with 2.25 balls although might be hilarious if they they played the American game with a mixed set.

Regular Reds
2.25 colors
Either cue ball

Nuther variation would be American pool with British sized balls on super tight 5 and 6 foot tables. lol...
