Trust me, I'm glad to see it. Snooker is a phenomally interesting sport with big personalities and incredible stories - but the media (especially RU-vid) is comparitively spartan compared to any other sport trying to be popular. I've been glad to see the improvement since Hendry raised the bar for quality and accessibility of snooker content tenfold (in the same way he raised the bar in snooker😅)

@@robinthebobin6537 100%. The sport needs as much of this kind of promotion as it can get, and it's amazing that it's Stephen Hendry leading the charge - he's setting the benchmark for others to follow. The WST or WPBSA should put Hendry on a salary for his work (I'm only half-joking, too).

It’s quite interesting when it comes to tables, they’re easy and difficult in different ways. Club tables may have forgiving pockets but because of the nap of the cloth being thick, I find it much harder to do long pots as the balls tend to drift to the left or the right depending on which side of the table you’re shooting on. Also with those tables, if you’re using Aramith balls you have to use the premier balls or even super crystalate balls as they are not as heavy as the 3G or 1G set. (Premier balls are 126g compared to 3G and 1G balls generally in the range of 142g.) Trying to screw back a 1G set is very difficult on a club table compared to a star table. Keep that in mind the next time you play on a club table, there are some shots that you see on television which are near impossible to do on a club table such as Alex Higgins’s blue shot from 1982 and Ronnie O’Sullivan’s left-handed screw back shot on the red to come back for the black from 2014 are a two examples of shots that are difficult to do on a club table, but are easier to do on a star table.
@mikebest634
@mikebest634 Год назад
Super crystalite balls are the same weight as 1g balls ,just s different composition.Match tables have heaters and steel cushions ,playing on heated match cloths you need to be more accurate as any trace of unwanted side will throw the ball off line more ,but when you do need to use side less is needed on match tables as the cloth is more reactive.

What a shame you guys missed the opportunity to talk about the CLOTH and the differences it makes for positional play - With a Club cloth being slower you need to hit the white harder which throws different angles off the object ball - so adjustment is further up the white and harder to get the same lines with a Tournament 10 cloth. The 10 cloth is SO MUCH easier to control the white, especially the little stun shots around the black, where you can use side to change the throw. Maybe these guys can show all this in another video - PLEASE ???? :) Remember most viewers of these types of videos are proper snooker players (30-80 breakers) - So don't scrimp on the technical stuff (we can handle it)

Those shots are some of the easiest ones to play. A ball on the cushion is easier than one just slightly off the cushion. By hitting the cueball just slightly above center the ball with medium speed will tend to hug the cushion all the way to the pocket.

There are massive differences between the tables. I think we have all seen during the recent World Champs that the Star tables are more forgiving than is being portrayed especially along the cushions. It is often blamed on the balls ‘sliding’ in due to a new cloth. It matters not if they slide in, they still go in. If you are of a decent standard and can make regular big breaks then the Star tables in my opinion are easier to play on when you get used to the speed of the cloth. Splitting the pack is so much easier as they will split with ease. Some club cloths this is nigh on impossible. As well as that the pro set-up is pretty much identical whichever table you play on whereas club tables do differ massively from table to table, even ones adjacent to each other.
@Eat-MyGoal
@Eat-MyGoal Год назад
You've literally contradicted almost everything they said. You're deluding yourself if you think playing on a star table, with tighter pockets, would be easier and you would score more heavily. And you've not even considered the different margin of error on a super fine, fast cloth compared to a standard one. Your entire post is complete nonsense.
@GavSloan
@GavSloan Год назад
@@Eat-MyGoal I take it you don’t know how to play snooker. I have had over 500 century breaks and have played on both Star and club tables. My point it if you know how to play to a decent standard then Star tables ‘can’ be easier as there are some shots you can play on them that are nearly impossible on club tables. My point about shots down the cushions is that they are at times more forgiving. Just search for such shots from the last world champs and you will easily find examples. I could show you these but this platform will not allow for videos to be posted on comments.
@ianboyle1026
@ianboyle1026 Год назад
@@GavSloan I agree. I'm not at the 500 centuries standard, but I've made a few, and played on club and Star tables. The difference to me is a bit like when an average golfer (like me) finds himself on a championship course. The greens are like lightning, the fairways are narrow, conditions are at first unforgiving, but once you get used to it, it's a pleasure to play. The first time I played on a Star table, I was over-screwing everywhere, but once I calmed down, it was a dream to play on -- the balls go exactly where they should, you can play power shots with way less force, and once you get your eye in, the narrow pockets don't seem so narrow. (A whole book could be written about the psychology of potting.) Also (something rarely mentioned in these sorts of comparisons) pockets on club tables often have a non-standard fall of the slate, which can make middle pockets especially tricky. On a Star table you know if the ball is hit accurately, it will drop.
@Dickie2702
@Dickie2702 Год назад
Any table with a new cloth is easier to pot balls on because of the slide. Star Tables at tournaments have their cloths changed almost daily so the physical size of the pockets isn't so noticeable. Only my experience of playing on both.

Its just like the super fast greens in golf - more difficult for most players, considerably easier for professionals and high level amateurs, and tbh even decent players with enough experience of it. Its true in all sports- slick, sensitive and consistent conditions make things broadly easier for those who can repeat their technique ( good players), and harder for those who can't ( the rest). *Just noticed a reply already mentioning the golf green equivalency, oh well*

Snooker is reaaally slowly starting to pick up on how marketing works these days. You really need to push on advertising the sport like this. Its not a gimme like it used to be 30 years ago. And i still see too much gatekeeping on this. I really hope that the associations like WST understand that they need to change their strategy towards a modern approach so this sport will stay alive in the future. Its a beautiful sport and young people need to be motivated and supported. The big names in the game cant carry it forever. BTW this was a positive example. Firm and short but highly informative video including high ranking players.

But what they don’t say because as pro’s it would be like turkeys voting for Xmas, is the way on star tables with new cloths the balls slide off the cushions, and changing cloths in tournaments. This is because there is no wear so the balls take a narrower angle when hitting the cushion before the pocket and don’t grip as much as a worn club cloth widening the angle. It makes the pockets really big when hitting at pocket weight slow speeds. Also most people who play snooker in decent clubs play on star tables and as the cloths don’t get changed as much , any touching of the near jaw, or any part of cushion before the pocket, the balls won’t go in. In a tournament on tv it’s not uncommon to see many shots which wouldn’t go in on these ‘club’ star tables but they do in the tournament, including during 147’s. It’s just the average snooker fan doesn’t know. It’s often a bit of joke what can go in on these new cloths to any knowledgeable club snooker player.

Neil is right you don’t hit them hard down the side cushion when there is an oblique angle with tighter star pockets, but that’s the case on any star table …but if you roll a shot on a new cloth it will slide in. In clubs I’ve played in with star tables the cloths are not going to get changed anywhere near as much as pro tournaments, so if the ball touches the cushion before the pocket or the near jaw at slow speed, the ball won’t go in. It makes a star table much harder and the notion of club tables doesn’t really exist as if you play good club snooker to a good standard you will play on ‘club’ star table anyway.

This is the whole reason why I yawn when players at the club moan about conditions. It's the exact conditions for you and your opponent. Either deal with it for the win, or growl and sigh your way for a loss. It's only psychological really.

Lies about the pockets? The tv tournament table pockets are far bigger than the club tables. Reason, the presenters want to attract audience with big breaks. Simple as.

Get playing on the old billiard tables, most of them are in workman’s clubs, they’re granite.

I have number 10 cloth with match cut pockets on my table, and I have noticed as the cloth as aged the pocket are even tougher as the balls don’t slide, meaning you have to be even more accurate, 🤬

What a load of tosh, I have seen a ball contact the cushions 2-3 " and still go in on the tv, would never happen on a club table

I dont know what club tables you guys play at but what you have said here simply isnt true. Possibly in old Conservative clubs some of what you say may be relevant but in the majority of snooker clubs (many of whom use Star tables anyway) this is definitely not the case. Pockets bigger on a club table? Never in a million years! Sorry guys but you are being disengenuous. Many many shots you see played on a tournament table that go into the pocket would simply never drop on a club table. It isnt eight what you are saying. All modern tables are made uaing standard templates. The difference comes from how the pocket is cut (the angle) and the density of rubber used for the cushions. Sorry guys but you are way off. You're welcome to come down to my club for a practice session where i can prove it.

There were a few club tables in Canada that seemed to have a smaller pocket opening . I was told that those tables were actually Billiard tables . But almost all club tables have a heavier cloth and cushions that are not exceedingly reactive . Of course the balls make a huge difference as well . The better clubs will have a few tables that are more of a higher standard for the good players . But , nowadays there are no more clubs only Legions and senior centers that have any snooker tables .

Definitely not true in my case. The pockets on the tables I play on in the club I play at are very forgiving, especially the middle pockets. You can whack a ball pretty hard and it will still go in. Then again, the tables I play on have been around since 1993. You also need to consider the humidity of the room. if it is dry, the cloth and the rubber will shrink which will make potting easier but if it is humid, both the cloth and the rubber will expand slightly making it a little more difficult to pot. This is why depending on the weather and conditions of the club your experience in playing on the table may be easy or difficult. Also, what do you mean the majority of snooker clubs have star tables? As far as I’m aware of, I can only really name two clubs that have an actual star table. The rest of them seem to be either BCE, Riley or some obscure snooker brand tables from the years gone by. Nothing luxury as far as I’m aware of.

​@@justanotheroldcomment.4582 i didnt say the majority...i said MANY. Clearly they dont use Star tables in a Rileys snooker club.

​@@lefty9419i didnt challenge anyone to a money match did i you numpty. In any case i'm right. Any new snooker club will have either Riley or Star tables which will be set up using standard templates for the pockets the same as are used on tournament tables. Many snooker clubs even use high grade cloths too. The only difference is in old working mens clubs in england, but most of these are gone now.

Ah here lads getup out of that... Footballers play with the best of conditions, boots, balls, grass. Tennis players best of rackets, balls, surfaces etc.. Same with every single sport really.... These guys trying to convince players that tournament tables are harder to play on is a joke... Get over yourselfs. Playing on an old grubby banjo'od balls, banged up cushions& pockets, down to even the colours having dents on the marking spots, on top of the table possibly being not completely level due to settlement, brushed and ironed and heating temperatures wishful thinking..... Hahaha these guys are at an unbelievable standard playing the game as a job, when these guys rock up to tourneys and go for a long long red and deep screw it back past the D im telling you straight out no chance of them doing it on a club table.... Half decent player here can consistently get breaks above 50 and have made centuries. The reason why the ball wont drop on the rails is because the table is super fresh meaning the corners aren't rubbed up yet if you like... Like a plasters trowel a brand new trowel has razor corners making it hard not to drag lines, after many uses the trowel becomes rounder at the edges almost like a swimming pool trowel but not as severe. Anyways top lads for the content but talking bs.
