    That was a fluke. (Look at his body language.) He was playing the cannon.

    [–] Unusual situation (rules question) njwatson32 1 points ago in snooker

    Interesting, thanks. I guess that means my fourth question is irrelevant, since no advantage can be gained from a deliberate foul.

    [–] Barry Hawkins is he unique? njwatson32 2 points ago in snooker

    As a person who also does this, it's because I'm actually right-handed. For whatever reason ordinary cueing is more comfortable left-handed. (I actually thought I was cueing right-handed until someone pointed it out.)

    [–] Why are so many players left-handed? njwatson32 1 points ago in snooker

    I'm familiar with statistical sampling/significance; the reason I was asking was to see whether someone could provide a plausible explanation other than coincidence. I have one, which is that many right-handed people (including myself) cue left-handed.

    Since you bring up baseball, it's worth pointing out that the ratio of right-handed to left-handed players in baseball is close to 60-40, and that's because teams deliberately draft players to have a balance of each. Absent that prior knowledge, however, you could make the same claim that the small number of people who are professional baseball players do not represent a statistically significant sample of the large population of baseball players, and hence the appearance of a 60-40 ratio is a coincidence due to the small sample size.

    [–] Why are so many players left-handed? njwatson32 1 points ago in snooker

    The top 16 was just an example. There are lots of other left-handed players on the rest of the tour.

    [–] Why are so many players left-handed? njwatson32 1 points ago in snooker

    I don't think so... that was just an example with top players, but even watching the lower-ranked matches I can name several just off the top of my head: Zhao Xintong, Thepchaiya Un-Nooh, Jack Lisowski, Sunny Akani, Gerard Greene, Jimmy White, Mark King.

    I think my theory is correct, namely that a lot of right-handed people shoot left-handed.

    [–] [Debate] Do you think Ronnie has what it takes to win the World Championship this year? njwatson32 8 points ago in snooker

    If he doesn't have to play Selby I fancy him for it. Even in form Selby frustrates him and O'Sullivan plays best when he's enjoying himself.

    Neil is certainly less of a grinder than Selby. He had a century of centuries one season. Selby would never do that, no matter how on-form he was.

    I'm with you on those but I'd add Neil Robertson too.

    Couple of dodgy shots but otherwise he looked really good out there. Admittedly, Luca was near his worst.

    Despite winning 4-0 that was not vintage O'Sullivan.

    [–] New Break off Shot By Ronnie O Sullivan njwatson32 2 points ago in snooker

    First time I tried it, I reproduced O'Sullivan's shot almost to the inch. Then the next 5 times I tried it I hit the jaws or went in off, so I gave up.
