Ronnie O'Sullivan Plays 75% Left-Handed Aiming for a Total Clearance 

Hey. Am so glad . I just realized you mentioned my name. Sorry for not noticing it earlier. You are the GOAT of snooker channels. Lots of love and respect to you. Stay safe 🙏 ❤

I notice when he changes hands the same way it is obvious that the other talented players you mentioned have changed hands and stance.

I use all the English terminology for pool now like "pace" and "the pot is on" and "clearance" which is obscure and different from US terminology. I have to explain what I'm talking about to my 8 ball pool buddies 😂

@@spencerbrinton1397 It's good that you're interested, but why would you buy a snooker cue to play pool? It's the equivalent of buying yourself a ball designed to be used for American football and using it to play "soccer"

@@bbftb8791 that's a great question people ask me often. It started when I seen another guy using a snooker cue and I got to talking with him. I was fascinated by how small the tip is and I mostly just wanted to try it out. There's pros and cons however. I've become more accurate at applying English, but it's easier to miscue. It's easier to bridge over balls or cue between balls because I can get in tighter spaces. Pool balls are only a little bigger but it does mean I have to put more work into cue-ing if I need to do a cross table stop shot for example. (I've later realized when I finally try a snooker table and smaller lighter balls I will have garnered great cue power that should translate to some crazy long pots) I'm still rusty at backspin but when I use my regular pool cue the accuracy translates and I can get great backspin with a standard cue because of more tip gripping the cue ball. If/when I buy another American pool cue I am not going to settle for anything that doesn't use stick extensions. My snooker cue's extensions are so incredibly useful. Basically it came down to I watch more snooker than American 8 or 9 ball and I wanted to emulate the pros I look up to.

Hey GOAT of snooker channels🙂

Whatever dark magic you two have for finding these, please keep it going!

Yep, Clive said, with a slight worrying tone IMO, "sometimes Ronnie plays a series of shots left handed....as if to....shake things up inside of him."

With Neal Foulds if i remember rightly.

Yes. The yellow, green, brown, blue and the first red were edited :)

Lol what a dumb comment, you have no idea the effort involved in editing these clips.

I already posted it ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3VGBzEloWZk.html

That's how it was before HD TV... 😂

@@DavidMiras I think this video was ripped from tape (VHS), I don't remember balls looking off colour in the 90's.

@@PatrickSwayzeOnDbol I rather take the easy pink than the tight brown

OP took the time to color some of the balls for us. If you notice the blue is colored, has extra vibrancy. One of the reds by the baulk line has extra color for a few minutes at the start of the frame too

@@spencerbrinton1397 yeah I did notice that when some reds were in vault.

its given a little more credit than its due. but it is rare for a player to use their non dominant hand in a professional match, especially as much as ronnie. No one else can match that. left handed play isn't as hard as people make out, but most won't take the risk in a real match or devote time to practicing it.

Face....spellcheck🤬🤬🤬

but its so good you hardly notice

Title didn't say it was a total clearance
