Super cool!

I think at the end of the day it was a fun match that all 4 players saw it as and no seriousness at all except.

Alex Pagulayan and John Morra would be fun to see play Hendry and Garth

Aligns the balls so that they are all touching - if all balls are not touching, it can affect the run of the balls at the break off so it's very important in pool especially with the pace they break at

As I said, it’s just such a shame, he couldn’t maintain it. The other three players have been able to do this however and are still able to perform at the highest level, all still ranked in the top 10 more than 25+ years after turning professional.

I grew up with zitty Hendry winning everything. I'm quite happy that I don't have to watch that any more. It's quite nice to see him relaxing and becoming less single-minded as he gets older.

what's the rules for pool about leaving a rest or a que on the table? Technically I thought it was ok and up to the player but if a ball hits it then it would be a foul, or i could be wrong...?

Would be fine in snooker I think, Chinese pool may have different rules or this ref maybe just determined to spoil the fun 🤷‍♂️ if you think about it, almost all shots with a rest have something on the table...the rest.

By saying silly stuff like that means you have not got a clue what you're talking about. Snooker table is HUGE, with small balls and small pockets. It's anything but shooting balls into a pocket. It's about precision and positional play to even shoot anything to the pocket, not to mention the safety standard you must have in order to even think about shooting anything to the pocket. You cannot compare any game (i mean cuesport) to it when it comes to difficulty. The only exception would be Russian pyramid. PS. I'm not a brit!
