I could literally watch any video as long as Sid Waddell was offering his commentary on it. What a true legend, and extremely missed.

You actually enjoyed listing to Sid? I couldn't/still can't stand listing to him because of how often his voice goes from a normal volume to yelling back down to normal and back up ext all in the matter of one sentence except he does that with every single sentence he ever spoke. It's like when a toddler learns how to control the volume on a stereo by twisting the knob back and forth. I could only imagine this is what it's like for an older person with hearing aids who's batteries are starting to go out (or Shane Van Boening).

@@SoCaliSurfer13 sid is a legend. His quirky one liners and screaming is what made him Famous and unique. I could listen to him announce anything’s. To each their own. I couldn’t stand the guy commentating with sid. He literally knew very little about pool and was wrong a bunch. You would think considering pool is not sids specialty they would give him a partner that knows something 🤷‍♂️. Guy couldn’t even explain why they used closed and open bridge

The mechanics and discipline of the American players is not what one would expect from Mosconi players. Ronnie was miles ahead of them in almost every aspect, minus the break. Considering that's not something snooker players ever need to practice.

@AlexZander688 3 жыл бұрын

The smaller/rounded pockets of Snooker, English 8-ball and Chinese 8-ball tables have forced players of those tables to develop better fundamentals/mechanics and more accurate potting. And Snooker to 9-ball is like Chess to Checkers. I like the square stance that Snooker players use. I recently switched to using a square stance, it helped improve my setup and stability with the cue action. I would like to try a Snooker or Chinese 8-ball type cue. Some of the players that have used both claim that a Snooker cue delivers a more accurate hit. With the way the butt end of the Snooker cue is designed, a consistent grip location is easily achieved. With an American cue, I am always turning the cue in my hand to try and find the same grip location.
