Ronnie O'Sullivan vs John Higgins - 2025 CBSA Hangzhou Invitational Clash!

[@burnzcrs7986]

What is with the camera angle? Don't like this square table

[@hamedhamdi9969]

we call it chinese shi....t !

[@TheCarlhungness]

Every match this person posts looks like this....I appreciate the posts but this is the worst camera angle, foreshortening I've ever seen on KZbin.

[@SnookerSupreme]

Because they want to showcase more billboards, I guess.

[@OvalNowhere]

I think it's because of the lens they're using.

[@Тихон-я6к]

​@@TheCarlhungnessвы ещё русский бильярд не смотрели, там вообще ракурса нет

[@peacefullyforever]

I can’t watch this. I would fire the producer who approved this angle. Completely asinine.

[@dennychang8156]

Totally agreed,that is rubbish product of all time,I do not think anyone would watch it

[@peacefullyforever]

@ it is the same as turning a square into a rectangle- how absurd

[@DeadlyDigger]

One thing I notice about snooker is that all the different competitions are all televised differently, some with great commentary, some with no commentary and some with such appalling commentary I turn off the sound. Seriously how fucking hard is it to keep things consistent. Even the names are in Chinese FFS

[@markvancourt2071]

I could never get my bearings when they were shooting around the black spot.

[@ER1CL33]

​@DeadlyDigger you are watching a produced for China video ffs..

[@rorydonohue1832]

The amount of oneupmanship in that opening set of snookers!

[@adrianwright8685]

Curious how many are saying it's unwatchable but are obviously watching!!

[@swashknuckler]

How would you know it's unwatchable if you haven't tried watching it?

[@johnsrabe]

New producer needed. 1. That ridiculous camera angle. Have they ever seen a video of a snooker game? Raise the damn camera. This should’ve been done long ago. 2. If you can’t do a replay in time to get back for the next shot, don’t do the replay. Half a dozen times we missed the following shot because the producer called for the swoopy replay. 3. It must’ve been incredibly distracting for Ronnie and John to play with that loud high-pitched tone going off every 50 seconds. (I timed it.) Why didn’t anybody try to track it down and stop it?

[@johnsrabe]

I am going to send this video to my sister and brother-in-law, who are TV producers. And maybe they can identify the exact problem.

[@jamesrowe3606]

It's not about the camera angle. The picture is completely distorted. It makes a game that's all about angles completely pointless to watch.

[@donjoe2661]

Bad camera angle.

[@MrEvo5man]

Terrible camera angle.

[@jamesgoing4527]

The best 2 players in snooker history when you take everything into consideration

[@AjG007]

No. Higgins is a cheat, and Stephen Hendry is second to O'Sullivan!

[@williambox2463]

The question on every snooker fans lips is, can the world’s most talented player win his eighth world title in April? Needless to say this question will not be on the lips of people that don’t follow him and prefer an alternative player. Ronnie O’Sullivan, the greatest natural talent the game has ever known.

[@DJ-ct6so]

Agree, Ronnie's long potting and break building are unparalleled in the snooker's history, and his ability to play with both hands gives him a further advantage. Having made the world final 8 times, and won 4 of them, John probably ranks somewhere within the top 10 of all time, but I reckon his best years are behind him now.

[@kazimirs3783]

Здорово, что в Китае разделили матч на две части и его смогут посмотреть вживую больше зрителей. Респект организаторам!

[@ianboyle1026]

This low, long-lens angle is how a lot of snooker was shot in Britain back in the day. Hopefully they'll learn how to do it. BUT try to forget that long enough to watch the position shot Ronnie plays while potting the black at 12:40. Stun-run-through to separate two reds while landing on a third red. I've watched it about ten times; it's like a perfect phrase of music. Absolutely illustrates why he's the GOAT.

[@shiuleung5963]

the producer of this KZbin video spoiled the whole tournament, you just can't watch snooker in this angle, what the hell is this? You'll get square eyes watching it. Bloody nonsense!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@adrianwright8685]

The uploader will have just copied it. The cameras are the tv companies!

[@joseliteixeira8368]

Valeu amigo Ronne 👍

[@burnzcrs7986]

I can't watch it, can't see the angles at all

[@AlexZander688]

Two bad miscues on screw back draw shots. Usually caused by tensing up muscles as your cue action gets ready to hit the cue ball. But watching Higgins' second miscue in 1/4 speed. His body moves forward slightly and back elbow raises during the cue action stroke.

[@pricklythistle1]

The angle is way off. Unwatchable

[@tonyosborne4909]

What’s with the square table ….camera lens.??

[@capoman1]

Long zoom lens recorded from a distance. Decreases perspective.

[@OvalNowhere]

@@capoman1 Exactly!

[@capoman1]

@@OvalNowhere In design software like CAD or 3d modeling, perspective can be disabled to help align things.

[@MAXIMUS-df3sj]

As many have said...virtually unwatchable with that camera angle..way too low...id rather it abit to high than low.

[@serjao2014]

Esta é uma boa partida para se ver.

[@rtalbot87]

What an unusual camera angle.

[@seanrochford3161]

who won this tournament ??

[@adrianwright8685]

Now we know how Ronnie and John are translated into Chinese!

[@ranbirsingh7666]

Is this new table they are trying out 😅

[@betthauser]

Worst camera angle ever. Committee design for sure. Sorry Comrade Chairman. This cannot be watched. However, you have conquered screen resolution, audio quality and frame rate. Keep at it and you’ll eventually have interesting commentators as well. Bye bye.

[@ahtoh-g5s]

It looks funny. A couple of years ago, Ronnie had gray hair. And now it's like at the beginning of his career.

[@josnijsten8731]

Not worth looking at a snooker table at that angle. Try that with a bicycle race, square wheels are funny.

[@adrianwright8685]

Amazingly the referee is longer than the table!

[@luigiiadicicco6048]

are they playing in the hospital? everyone with a cough

[@jimdockree]

Dhit camera work!

[@송광춘-h3v]

이거 화면이 좀 이상한데???😢

[@mayankgurung7555]

Really camera angle is very bad I can't watch snooker match like this either

[@Heraclitean]

Wtf with the camera angle. As if there weren't an existing model of how to film a snooker match. Incompetence.

[@Terence377]

Don't worry, China will not change anything because of your complaint 😂

[@eseroma]

Whoever considered this angle should be fired

[@markvancourt2071]

Can someone explain how a foul wasn't called when John miscued in the 6th frame? He jumped over the first red of the plant and hit the second red. Four points should've been awarded to Ronnie.

[@ianboyle1026]

I just looked up the relevant rule and it's actually quite hard to interpret exactly when it's a foul and when not. The rule is written in an oddly ambiguous way, and the referee might have been concerned about where the cueball "landed". But I think you're right, it was probably a foul.

[@johnsrabe]

Maybe he skimmed the first red.

[@ianboyle1026]

@@johnsrabe Nah, if you watch it carefully the white clears the first red by almost an inch, and that red never moves at all. It's possible that the ref didn't realize what had happened. She's not the best referee I've ever seen -- consistently keeps Ronnie waiting several seconds while she spots the colours, doesn't re-spot the pink accurately when its spot is occupied, generally doesn't inspire confidence. I was wondering if Ronnie might have had a word with someone about her after the match. She's not terrible (there are worse among the British and European referees); just needs to pick up her pace and general alertness a fraction.

[@johnsrabe]

@ i’m watching on an iPhone and couldn’t really tell. Thanks for clarifying. It really feels like this whole match was run by the B team. And still, nobody is explaining that damn high-pitched tone every 50 seconds! If I was playing snooker there, I would not be able to ignore it. I mean, if I was good, and playing snooker there, I would not be able to ignore it.
