Having noted that very few top snooker players are fat or obese, I wondered if it is time to 'level the playing field' and introduce weight categories and belts like boxing.
Maybe just three categories at first?

in Boxing Heavyweight boxer vs a lightweight it means intensive care in Snooker thats only likely to happen if a ball flies off the table and hit you on the head.

This reminds me of a comment I saw on a YouTube video of a match between Stephen Lee and Shaun Murphy.

He nearly lost control of him near the end there.
The body slam is one of those moves that the majority of work done to avoid injury is done by the person administering the hold.

Especially when it's Andre The Giant you're slamming. Can't be good for the back.

Andre The Giant is massive? Who'd have thought?
He weren't called Andre The Midget, was he?
