A secret is wasted if not shared
Dear
Gary Moss
How
are you lad! Your article on the Carter V Fu final was correct on Carters
medical history but rather pointless in the games technical detail.
There
has to be a technical reason why player A was better than player B or the
reason why player B was inferior to player A?
Your
article lad is worthy of column space in Snooker Scene as there were so many
thoughtless similarities like forgetting the reader is interested in Snooker
Technique and hopes to acquire some snooker knowledge not the players address.
Do
you not find it strange Mr Moss that neither player showed anything so different
in snooker technique that’s worth recording in detail?
There
ware probable only 8 or 9 different shots played geographically during the
whole tournament but not worth recording.
Snooker
writers and commentators often talk of Stuns, The Stun run through. Screw, The
screw back etc but don’t know them selves how to play any specific shot with
words except with “Watch Me” and I’ll show you again; the Joe Davis method.
The
mentality of snooker students and viewers seem suspect. If Steve Davis said
that having a double jointed thumb gave him an advantage or if Stephen Hendry
said he found century breaks easier after Eggs and Chips these remarks would be
considered a new branch of snooker technique.
Please
don’t take offence Gary but the first writer or
commentator that can describe in words without infringing copyright will be
unique and a boon to the 90 year old game.
All
the very best Gary and may the balls run
kindly. Daniel Marner@mrheyyoutwitterfaxebookandyahoo.
Garry:
Snooker is a beautiful game but sadly corrupted by the sale of the great Joe
Davis copyright. The player that can describe how to play the “Stun run through”
without infringing copyright will be unique.
