Site Supporter Cheese Posted April 29, 2016 Author Site Supporter Share Posted April 29, 2016 Not ideal but a new tip should not put him out of the running. A new tip would definitely ruin his game (as it did for Mark Williams earlier in the tournament when his tip split). Even I can tell the difference when I put a new tip on my cue, and I'm shit. Pretty certain Fu's just glued the tip back on, rather than use a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Cheese Posted April 29, 2016 Author Site Supporter Share Posted April 29, 2016 What's your handicap cheese? HIghest break is 45. Missed an easy pink thinking about position before I realised I could've broke the 50 mark. Ruin his game? Bollocks. Ask any professional. A lot of pro's give out tips to the members of their clubs to use for a bit, then cut them off to use as spares in case theirs drops off. The state of the tip is more important than you'd imagine, especially at professional level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Cheese Posted April 29, 2016 Author Site Supporter Share Posted April 29, 2016 (edited) My tip was a mess after my first few weeks at university Never went to University, but had a few occasions when my tip was RUINED. Deep screwing the brown can be risky. Edited April 29, 2016 by Cheese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggie Tate Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 McManus just came twice across the table in response to Ding's perfect length. Enjoying this match very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySanchez Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Anybody who has played pool down the pub will know what it's like to play with a cue with no tip or a back wall blocking your arm action Snooker players have it so easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I doubt it will ruin his game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farrelli Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Yes it is about the worst time it could have happened. Have you seen the temperament of Fu though? Very little fazes him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very little fazes him. Indeed. As proved when he came out after having his tip glued back on. Been a great tournament so far. Probably one of the best in my lifetime. Close to breaking the record for the number of centuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Cheese Posted April 29, 2016 Author Site Supporter Share Posted April 29, 2016 Ronnie on the one table is the only thing missing! I'd have loved Ronnie to still be in it, but he lost the plot a bit after the First Round. Heart is saying McManus to win it, but head is with Ding. That's why I've put money on Fu!

Site Supporter Cheese Posted May 1, 2017 Author Site Supporter Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) Hoping Selby does it, because John Higgins is a corrupt cunt who shouldn't even be playing.

Site Supporter Cheese Posted May 1, 2017 Author Site Supporter Share Posted May 1, 2017 Was hoping Ding would do it. Everyone's favourite player after Ronnie. Higgins is superb, but that match-fixing thing leaves a bad taste, so I can't get behind him. But Selby dances in between frames sometimes. So I want Selby to win. That's how exciting snooker is.
