very true... im watching both sports, but i've always preffered snooker mainly because strategy is more important and thats kinda my thing. Its great to see Trump competing in pool as its beneficial for both sports.

Finally, a modern snooker great playing competitive pool Loved watching the old Mosconi Cups with Ronnie, Jimmy White, Steve Davis... Now in HD! Judd's defensive play is excellent (as you would expect) and it's nice to see he has achieved a good break, which people always say will be snooker players' greatest problem.

[@johntallanger4036]

He does play good defense. The break is hard but a bit sloppy. He would be good if he played more. I actually think the biggest problem the snooker guys have is not knowing how to use heavy spin. You can see it with Trump a couple times here. Some of them also have strokes that aren't powerful enough to compete with the best players. Still fun to watch.

[@worldz_gone_crazy4398]

"They barely play with English in snooker" ?? Lool. In snooker there's spin on just about every shot, and they're playing on a much bigger distance which makes playing accurately with side infinitely more difficult. Sir I'd like to see you play a straight long pot on a snooker table and screw back with side to play a shot at the other end of the table.

[@kevind6199]

Exactly, I couldn't believe what I heard.

[@johntallanger4036]

They really don't. And it is one of the reasons some of these guys have such a hard time in pool. Hitting a long draw is not with is being referred to. It's the sidespin. The shot at 12:50 shows that lack of understanding perfectly. Even a good amateur would not end up where Trump did. That is only from not knowing how to use spin. When you snooker fans/players talk about spin I don't think you realize how much the top pool players are using and how they're utilizing it to spin off the rails around the table.

[@worldz_gone_crazy4398]

@@johntallanger4036 When high level snooker players are in amongst the reds they practically have the cue ball on a string. It's the difference cue and ball size that makes it more difficult to transition. With that said the top snooker players have shown over the years that they can give a good account of themselves in American Pool. There's not a pool player on earth that is taking a frame from a ranked snooker player

[@johntallanger4036]

@@worldz_gone_crazy4398 No one really plays it. There just isn't any interest in the game outside of England. That said, there are some guys who could win matches. Kaci, Pagulayan, Duel. Not sure if anyone else has even cared enough to try. It's a niche sport in England. You might as well learn Russian pyramid. The snooker guys who transitioned took it seriously. Also they're playing short race 9 ball, which is kind of fluky. No snooker player has ever become a top ranked pool player. Mark Grey is probably the closest thing and he'd get blown out of the water by the true top players. No disrepect, just being honest. The snooker guys have really good control on short stun shots. And they play great D. But they just lack the cue power and spins to get to that next gear. Steve Davis and Grey are the best examples of that. They just don't have enough weapons to string big runs.

[@nikkip3385]

If he didn't use his normal snooker stance he could really struggle when he's back on a snooker table. His cue action goes across the line of the shot which means his body (and cue) has to be in exactly the right position when he strikes the cue ball. If he changed stance that timing and body position would be all wrong. And let's face it, the snooker table is where he earns his living.

[@HighMaintenancePS]

Enjoying the commentary a lot especially the input from the American. These are very tight pockets for American pool aren’t they. A bit tighter than their normal comp tables. Judd’s miss on the one ball in the last frame highlights this. And the middle pockets that size and that cut are not friendly. In general these pockets are a big bigger and friendlier than the snooker Judd is used to, but not by much. And perhaps the middles are around about equivalent?

[@johntallanger4036]

Yes, these are tighter than most. But that has been the trend in pool for a while now. Cloth has also gotten quicker so it's not really any more difficult than the old setups where the pockets were bigger but the cloth was so slow you had to power the ball more. I'd say they're a little friendlier but not by much. The real challenge for a snooker player coming to pool was mentioned by the announcer. They're not as accustomed to using heavy spin. They're also not as used to playing off the rails. Snooker is a lot more stun shots. They all do seem to play excellent defense though. And Trump's break showed promise.

[@jakeg3296]

The professional snooker tables are 3.3 inches at the narrowest compared to 4.5 inches on a “tight” pool pocket . The snooker ball is 2 and 16 th compared to 2 and a 1/4 pool ball. The pockets on the 9 ball table are “ buckets” in comparison. Chinese 8 ball, in China is played with snooker style/ size pockets only with the 2/ 1/4 “ balls making it a more difficult potting game. Watch Earl Strickland and Van Boening play this game. Russian Pyramids are even tighter pockets. However snooker is by far the more skilful of the cue sports because precise cue ball control is more of a necessity for big breaks which are essential at the professional level. A pure pool player will improve his game by playing snooker but a snooker player will be advised to avoid pool as it could damage his/ her technique.

@@madforit2 My understanding of the American use of "english" is to mean the spins that cause a ball to rebound to the left or right off a cushion. In England this is called side spin. Stun is a lack of spin.

[@madforit2]

@@bencrossley647 ah side off the cushion. Cheers

This looked like APA league night.

[@johntallanger4036]

same thought. they would not be the best players at my pool hall

[@MPee76]

Did he say they barely play with english in snooker?

[@deejaygal]

A walk in the park compared to snooker. Pockets are like buckets 😂

[@algolin]

Judd playing pool?? There are much more distractions in the hall than during snooker matches. There is no music playing in the background during snooker :)

[@FredrikJ.RJonsson]

Plus the ball. hole ratio is different. In snooker they have holes as big as 1,5 snooker bals when in pool they have holes fitting 2 pool balls.

[@johntallanger4036]

not really. that used to be the case. now it's a lot tighter. these tables do not fit 2 balls. just look at it.

[@antoniogustavomaralli8221]

First shot and you know it .

[@dawidg6487]

hi does anyone play pool online?

[@88888gerald]

obviously playing Judd Trump is stressful.....

[@ptepaul5173]

I tend to play better with better players, and make more mistakes against players who are making mistakes. I'm just a local league player, but i wonder if trump, being new to the game, had some of that going on

[@HamzaHafeez7292]

Yeah. Thats a real thing in many games and sports. I'm a beginner and I saw this happening in the game of one of our club's decent players while playing against me. By the 3rd frame, he was playing only a little bit better than me. Same goes in Table Tennis.

[@johntallanger4036]

it's much simpler. he's lousy at pool.

[@RubSomefastOnIt]

Why the hell would they invert the colors of the 4 and the 5?!? I am fine with the new color sets and all but the changing the 5 and 13 to purple completely screws it up. The original change of the 4 and the 12 to pink was for television to make it easier to see what ball it was opposed to the 8.

[@MichaelKingsfordGray]

An obscene quantity of adverts!

[@Ryan-31]

Great work from Albin and Jayson, Commentary jobs inline once they give the game up I think.

[@mazfarnadeem1846]

How come Judd was missing so mch

[@pingmendoza719]

Easy win v unseeded

[@darthgorthaur258]

I can't keep commenting, but then they say something stupid..."they hardly play with English in snooker"...dude they play with side all the time in fact more than in pool and it's harder to play with as well. An some players like Ronnie an a few others use spin on every shot they play even if it is just a little bit.

[@Wizardofgosz]

I made the same comment above. The physics are the same. If you need to move the cue ball a lot english will always be required.

[@kelvinliang7151]

Agreed. These commentators just have no clue about snooker game. Snooker player does need some time to play very well against the pool top pro. But I see Judd better than other snooker pro here. He has been breaking well and running table. When he improves it more, next year he will win more. So glad the snooker pro are coming to USA now :)

[@Marshy94]

Barely play with "english" in snooker? Ronnie O Sullivan himself said they use sidespin virtually on every shot. Suspect call that by the commentator.

[@9BallBory]

Judd before the open said a big difference is how much more often he uses spin

[@hoojiiiii]

Ronnie cant be compared to other snooker players...

[@vigilanterorschach2600]

@@hoojiiiii Or even Judd, those 2 are exceptional showmakers and they often opt for the hard pots instead of the safety plays.

[@RaferJeffersonIII]

It’s because snooker, like most British sports V US, is more sophisticated. Basketball V soccer Rugby V gridiron Baseball (rounders) v cricket Snooker V pool Generally speaking, US sports are one dimensional, and need to have frequent scoring otherwise the fans don’t get it.

[@shade-e4836]

Anyone else feels like pool is easy to play as compared to snooker ?? 😅 Like I've been playing snooker and when I go to pool table it just feels so comfortable knocking down.. The pockets are so forgiving

[@kron1379]

Snooker players coming to pool is the same as F1 drivers coming to Indy Car, the level of skill is just much higher

[@Wizardofgosz]

"They barely play with english in snooker"? The physics are the same. You need to use as much english in snooker as you do in pool.

[@BassGoBomb]

Quite. I think they should watch a lot more snooker before making comments such as that. Snooker players use a lot of 'English' for 'Masse' shots, swerves etc.,

[@LambeauLeeeper]

Much shorter tables and bigger pockets on reg pool tables

[@escalehope1446]

Longer table and thicker left makes it hqrd to play wity side spin as the cueball swerves very easily causing you to miss. So no. Snooker players use little english. Pool players do use a lot more. Educate yourself.

[@seanroe9859]

Yes that confused me - almost every shot the top snooker guys play has side spin on. Check side, running side, a touch of swerve...

[@lordangel9563]

man these pool players ain't understand shit about snooker and side

[@jeanr.1821]

Difference between Snooker and Pool? You have to forget your chalk on the table after the shot!😀

As excellent a snooker player Judd Trump is, a very difficult game, it's interesting to see that he's not unbeatable in pool.
