Nervy start from both, but Judd has the lead, 2-1.

Feel his problems will start from round 3 onwards, dont think he'll lose today.

Snooker is all about technique and finesse... Pool, not so much.

Liked the chat about cues. Obviously need a break cue but what's the advantage to not using his normal cue.

And the reds should start in a diamond.

Been saying that for ages.

Coin toss should only come in a respotted black.

Apart from that, whoever won the lag has the same choices has the coin toss.

Snooker cues are meant for smaller balls, thus their tip diameter is smaller, usually ranging from 8 to 11 mm.
Pool cues tips usually range from 11,5 to 14.

If you use a snooker cue for pool, it's easier to make a mistake when you're delivering the cue in the sense of applying unwanted side spin on the ball, since the smaller tip makes it harder to hit center ball, any deviation/fault in your cue action is magnified.

I play more snooker than pool and a pool cue never feels right to me.
