[@fabiandort9167]

Great video as always Cesar! I am intrigued by the explanation starting around 28:00 because I know a lot of players who firmly believe it's impossible to transfer any (opposite) side spin from cue ball to object ball, and then there are many who are sure that it is possible. It's quite a hot debated topic. But I have to say personally, I find it hard to believe that at that pace the side spin made such a difference.

[@xx3868]

As Steve Davis showed in his video, its a myth and for practical purposes it wont happen. That ronnie shot was hard squeeze on the cushion and unnatural bounce off and thats why the older players didnt use doubles as each table cushion was diff and thus the angle you get off would be diff and you cant practise that but these days you see lots more doubles played and they seem to go in but you can never really be sure and theres always a sort of "fluke" element to them and thus the "gentleman" game ,you dont do just as smashing balls and hoping for a fluke then a 70 break to win the frame isnt cricket. Today they do anything to get in and win as the stakes are so high and young players have no fear it seems

[@CesarMuroya]

The spin transfer is real and does change the object ball's bounce angle. You can test it in your club on the graphic example, double in the middle. I have played it hundreds of times, literally.

[@ronsimpson8666]

Transferring opposite english is proven real, and I use it every match to cheat angles and most importantly... carom shots.

[@nobodyspecial6436]

It’s a vital part of a player’s arsenal in 8 ball 9 ball and all billiard games… it’s how i shorten or extend angles

[@siavashsabet2462]

those who think that the spin doesnt transfer to the object ball are not good players, and they are not very good at physics either. All you need is a ball that is multicolored (like stripes in pool), and you can play ay shot and see that the opposite spin transfers into the object ball. Ex: put back spin on cue ball, see top spin on object ball.

[@kamranhussain1544]

This is called self confidence which Ronnie owns. This game is all about self confidence, patience and mind game.well done Ronnie you are always champion.

You can just imagine the other players talking amongst eachother, "you're on against Ronnie aren't ya?". :- yeah mate ffs don't start" " well good luck 🙃. " Ronnie's consistency is what let's other players know that if you play against him there's little to no chance you're getting an easy game.

Its amazing how superb ronnie is at any age especially at 47, and he looks like he will still be supeb at 60 at this rate He has not only not dipped with age he has gone from awesome to incredible and that's not even a great enough word He has gone from super strength to god like truly The most mezmerising sports person not just snooker but especially snooker Im a davis fan and stephen hendry was awesone but this guy runs rings around them with his eyes shut, i never thought that was possible to surpass them two but a huge margin that's how unreal he is snooker GOD he really is, phenomenal

Li did a lot wrong towards the end-he seemed to give up.

[@williambremner9022]

Ronnie destroyed Li Hang in that match - on the baize and mentally. Li made some critically bad choices on a couple of shot selections and paid for it...badly. He was gutted in the end - devastating to witness but oh so good to see Sullivan in assassin-mode at the same time. Super editing as well Cesar! Thank you for your efforts, sir.

[@darrenfleming7901]

no I don't think Li made very many mistakes, he just got unlucky and then tilted instead of minimizing his losses and staying ahead. Ronnie got outclassed on the technical front but won off of the mental game alone this match.

[@krishnamoorthy3541]

Me and my friends used to watch Snooker match in TV when Ronnie playing, they repeat me one question all the time... Why I couldn't play like him? 😂😂Cos Ronnie made it look like very easy to play anytime. They didn't know it's a mentally, physically, dedication, hard work with determination, finally Confidence and Consistency.. All this has to work together at the same time no matter where they are... As usual Cesar created a wonderful video with explanation of some shots 👍 again great job

[@johnnolang3734]

The commentator hit the nail on the head when he said you need full control of your emotions. In this sport, like so many others, you don't think about who your opponent is, what the current state of play is or even try to win. You just play to take the best you can and forget everything else. You will win more often that way.

[@rrs_13]

Yesnt. it's not pretty, but you can always read your opponent and make defences that annoy him the most. Whenever you can nail that, it becomes easier because your opponent is playing versus you and his own mindset. Head game is part of the game. Both keeping your cool and knowing when to take advantage of someone else loosing theirs.

[@dbryant4]

Only one player in the world could have cleared up that table which was left to Ronnie in frame #7. Awesome!

[@dunngyllite7883]

Thanks for the upload - that was a high quality match from both players, and with a little luck for Li it might have ended the other way round. Just a question: Ronnie didn't seem happy after he pulled of the 4:4, and even though he didn't apologize directly after the double 26:11 , it seemed he did so after the game 27:46 - does that mean the double was indeed a fluke (didn't look like one to me)?

[@randomguyy99]

The double Was no fluke it was planned as you can on the Position to pink Ball. The problem is it had a risc if he missed he would have löst the game. I think he was not looking happy because he was not happy with his game he could have been better. o sullivan said once play your best cause the biggest oppenent is yourself Sorry for my english i am no native eng speaker so maybe i will have some mistakes :)

[@dunngyllite7883]

@@randomguyy99 I would agree with what you say - but why did he apologize at the end of the frame then..?

The difference between an experienced professional and a great potter. Li Hang let the pressure ruin his win, O'Sullivan used the pressure to drive him to win.

[@trappenweisseguy27]

Hang nailed some good frames but he found out that it’s hard to put the final nail in Ronnie’s coffin. And Ronnie, what is it with the tips all the time ?. Pick a line of laminated tips and go from there. Your game will improve as well.
