Why do all the pros play backspin on break leaving them vulnerable to potting white im not great at pool but it used to always happen to me potting white when playing with backspin so i instead play just a tiny bit above the middle and white rarely goes in

Mark Selby would make a decentish snooker player I reckon, just a thought

video quality not too good?

They don't play with that much screw even though it seems like it - if they did the white would be like a pinball back up the table and back down. It's a smaller ball. Even just playing plain ball and the white comes back towards you.

If u had to pick 1 man to win a frame to save your life in pool or snooker I'd say wouldn't be to many would go against Selby, just an animal

6 first frame break/finish

Two legends... Maybe some would disagree with me, but this event deserves better looking tables. The colors and aesthetics in general are just awful.

Has there ever been a snooker and also a pool world champ? Like a double champ?

Why's the table so small
