I see they've tightened the pockets up.
Certainly made a difference to the scoring .
 
I made 127...... 100 breaks, with a maximum break of 137.

Town individual champion 6 times, over a 20 year league campaign.

Never good enough to turn Pro.

I once wept with joy when I made a break of over 50.
 
Luca looks up for it. I hope Mark Selby doesn’t drag every single frame out……

I'm going off what Steve Davis said about making them bigger for the final.
 
Why would they do that?
You wouldn't make the goal larger for an FA cup final now, would you?
 
I think they should be a set size and never changed for anything.
As said, you don't change the size of the goalposts in a football match.
 
Don't be giving the bums on seats executives ideas. The days of goalies the size of the flying pig at Liverpool have long gone and with the goalies being the size they are these days the goals would have a call to be bigger.
As for snooker apparently Barry Hearn wants big breaks rather than snooker the likes of Selby turns out. As the semi showed when the pockets were smaller Allen and Selby didn't post too many century breaks.
The snooker forum on Betfair have a chat about it.

Sorry to be a broken record on this but they are really needing to improve the camera work on these major snooker events. I've already said about distinct lack of baulk end shots. The other thing that annoys me is lack of overheads.

'I'm not quite sure if that red will pass the blue for the middle pocket, a bit difficult to tell from this angle.'

Well give us a friggin diffrent angle then or an overhead shot instead of the default angle. I have to conclude it's to do with those managing the sport not wanting to invest. What's even more annoying is sometimes they'll show a different angle and you think 'oh this is different, this is interesting' but 3 seconds later they pull away from that shot to the good old boring default angle.

If you took an overhead shot with Brecel at the table how would you know which one's the cue ball?:unsure:

It's almost impossible to make every pocket accept every ball in the same manner.

Pockets have curved undercut edges, which is difficult to replicate, the rubber and cloths also affect bounce and slide.
