pool verse snooker challenge
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
there is no comparison between pool and snooker
at pool you dont need anywhere near the skill or training time that you need at snooker, at pool you definatly need to think alot more ie tactics and diferrent options where is at snooker it is usually obvious pot or safety. efren or earl etc could never make it anywhere near the top at snooker they could have 10 years to practise it wont happen.
the reason why snooker players have not done better at pool is because they dont need to yes a few do turn up and play for fun like ronnie osullivan jimmy white, mark williams etc but they did what i did years back maybe play 1 day before and go for a laugh with a snooker cue. if there was no money in snooker and the top 100 snooker players all started playing pool then after 4 months they would rearrange the pool rankings in a massive way. the only snooker players that play american pool more than once in a blue moon is steve davis and tony drago and they are more than a match anyone, i think daryl peach was a snooker pro from way back
personally i think they top 10 ish snooker players are so one dimensional or mentally so focosed and trained for snooker that you would get better american pool players from snooker players ranked a little bit back from anywhere from 300 upto 10 in the rankings would make the transition very easily if they wanted to. but there is not point as the money is not there
i have not hit one snooker ball in i think 3 years and only played pool for a week before 2 ipt comps but i will dust of my cue and put up $100,000 of my own money or more and play anyone in the pool world efren earl shane whoever, a snooker match and an 8 ball match if we win one game each then call it a draw, at least people will get to watch a good match.
maybe first to 50 or 100 games at 8-ball and maybe 10 or 15 games at snooker etc on a real 12 foot riley snooker table and equivilant pool table if any top player wants this ill play for at least this amount or alot more depending on location etc
my name is Quinten Hann any pool player wants some of this just reply.
before i get totally slated here i dont play anymore at all and am not interested in any other challenge match its not worth my time.
so dont bother asking to play me 10ball or 14-1 as i have never played these games. matter of fact i dont play anymore full stop but will come out of retirement for a snooker verse pool challenge, as i do miss playing a little bit.
