Yes he has. You have to look at the pre-qualifyers draw

Yes and not a great angle on the black, would have have to force it off two cushions which is a high-risk shot and you don't want to be making too many of those unless you're good enough :hatoff:

"I’ve just had under table heaters fitted on my table because there’s no point in turning up at a tournament and taking a few frames to get used to the faster conditions, I need to be used to them before I get there.

I’m also thinking about having a video camera set up in the corner, the idea being that you keep it there all day and watch it back and see if you’re doing anything wrong.

I’m practicing with Adam Wicheard at the moment and that’s doing me a lot of good because he plays match snooker in practice. Like if he’s got a half risky pot then he won’t go for it, he’ll play safe and that’s exactly what I need."


like that it shows his dedication to get the job done leaving no stone unturned <ok>

Ben needs a nickname. All suggestions welcome!

Wild came up with Ben "Hurricane" Harrison. It has a ring to it. Been used before but the original isn't about to sue.

I came up with Ben "Chipper" Harrison as he scythes up the deadwood like the chipper scene from Fargo. And "Chipper Harrison" has a ring to it. I don't think Ben likes it though :redneck:

most nicknames come from style of play i know hes fast live scoring goes up at a rate of nots when hes playing but having never seen him play its hard to think of names to go with style.

Haha have you seen him Witz? Ladies go weak at the knees when they see Ben, I've seen it in action!

When I spoke to him doing the PTC2 blog he asked who he had next and when I said Ryan Causton he went quiet and said "Oh!" so on that basis full concentration is for the 9am match tomorrow morning because he knows it's going to be a test. If he comes through that he'll probably feel a bit of pressure with the whole deadwood thing but I think it will spur him on to playing really well. Let's see what tomorrow brings.
