Jack’s game is all about rhythm, for better or worse. He could definitely do with dropping the tempo slightly. It wouldn’t necessarily mean he couldn’t still play with rhythm. Maybe in his mind he feels that applying more thought to certain shots would spoil that rhythm, just like Robbo when he goes into Pythagorus mode. But there is definitely room for it.

Watching a Lisowski break is like watching someone running down a hill so steep that they can’t peddle their pegs fast enough, and they hit the ground face first before they even reach the bottom.

Why not have a bag of different cues like in golf?

I've always wanted to see someone try it.


Brecel had two cues with him for a time.

Pool players often do as well.

Indeed. They have a break cue done they?

Makes sense with pool as one is for the break. Ronnie and Ding aren't as strong as others at long potting. Always wondered if a cue specifically for long potting would help even if it was just mental. Will probably never be worth it as it would effect rhythm to much.

Wouldn't work.

Pool players only use the break off cue once per rack. Can you imagine a Snooker player using 2 cues multiple times in a frame? Simply doesn't work that way.

He's not making it to the final so we don't need to worry about that <ok>

You're entitled to your opinion I guess. Anyway, looks like the peacock is back :)

4-4 would have been more than fair, but Jack should only blame himself.


Agreed, against the top players you have to take these chances else they will punish you and that's what has happened.
