She could be the next Ng On Yee.
I chose the American pool table rather than snooker of course. I'm not a sadist.
Did she enjoy herself?
I think snooker was the first I played, a bit older than that. Stood on a box at the full size table my dad and his colleagues had at the Fire Station. Then he bought us a 6x3 Riley slate bed. Still got some photos somewhere of me knocking balls in with my grandma picking them out

Pink Ball is the Grand Prix champion, winning in emphatic style, losing only one frame in the final group to Badsnookerplayer's 45 break. Congratulations Pink!

Huge honour to win this because I felt a bit cursed in the first few tournaments I entered!
Didn't play especially well on the day aside from the 81. I'm not the player I used to be, and I only seem to make 60+ breaks now when the reds are nicely split, and that was no exception. But it's still a great break!

First time I am seeing this thread in a while....I LOVE this picture Chengdu! It reminds me of when my boy really started to play. He was a bit older (I assume) at about 10 years old. You made me go back and look up some old YouTube videos:
