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?

Will Robbo look like Sideshow Bob by the time he reaches the final?

Green milk kicking in, 3-3 to Robbo and Dreamboat

Brecel had two cues with him for a time.
Pool players often do as well.

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

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.

Will be disapointing if Robbo goes 5-3 ahead. The way the match has gone, 4-4 would be ideal.

135 break from Robbo and he leads 4-3, Jack really needs this last frame.

Robbo takes the frame and leads 5-3 :( don't really feel it's a fair reflection but it is what it is and Jack needs to respond in the 2nd session.

Very disappointing 5-3 lead.
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.

I'm sure 90% of people will be watching Mark Williams vs John Higgins tomorrow afternoon at 2:30pm but I will be watching the 2nd session between Jack Lisowski and Neil Robertson.
