In July I had ten hours of tuition with German pool player Ralph Eckert in Berlin. We did it over three afternoons in the Bata Bar, a very hip type pool hall set in an old warehousing industrial area of the city.

So on the Friday evening when we’d finished I asked him if we could have a little match. After three afternoons of intensive drills, exercises & slight adjustment to my form my cue action was quite polished & he offered me a second chance on each miss as his handicap, so I felt quite confident. Of course I was too proud to take all the chances, but I took a few
 

....30 minutes later it’s 5-0 to him & I thought I played quite well!

Yep, playing some of those fellas certainly gets you thinking

This Polish lad looks like he can play, I hope you're watching it Charts.

The gulf between amateur players and the pros is really huge in snooker. I haven't played for years  but when I was at my best I thought I was the bees knees iif I was getting thirty breaks. I've never got over 30 odd. Are there any other sports where when amateurs play its like a different game to the professionals? I  cant think of one.

Golf or tennis .

Yeah, he's playing a far better game than he did this morning.

Hes a very good player, just inside the top 16, but I don't think he's ever won a televised major.

oh, and he's as English as me ! !

Cheers.

He's playing amazing, if he keeps his composure up this will be epic.

A good example of the difference at the top end of sports is that the male 203rd ranked tennis player in the world cleaned out the Williams sisters in consecutive games . 
 

being good at a sport and earring a living is a large chasm

Do you think you go twelve rounds with Katie Taylor?  Damn sure she could hammer me for fun. I used to think womens boxing was obscene, but when you see the level that some of these girls are at, and the way they enjoy it and can earn money, Then fair play.

No but I’d batter her .

Rather fight her than f**k her tbh, sorry for lowering the tone.

I  beg to differ. Where I'm from she's a definite looker.
