Rocket Ronnie

4-0 up in the final as well. There is nothing better to watch in sport than this man at the top of gis game. Just mesmerising.
 
OP talkng about the semi last night? I spent most of the time trying to look down Michaela Tabbs top on Eurosport.
 
He only dropped 10 frames in 7 rounds during the whole tournament.
Just shows what a difference it makes now that he seems to have sorted himself mentally, and at the point where, by all rights, his career should be on the wane too.
 
It's scary to think how many more titles he could have won if he was mentally in it from the start. At this moment in time he's on another level compared to the rest of the competition.

It's not arrogant, it's a display of his ability with either hand. Alain Robidoux said the same in 1995 when Ronnie beat him, playing some shots left handed. He had to prove to the WPBSA that he was competent left handed and not taking the pee. He played another top pro and beat him 3-0 so disciplinary action was dropped. Not really his fault his talent extends to both hands :)

The black was just showing off, bed the long screw back before that was pure class. He had no other option in that position
 
I learnt to play with both hands although I couldn't bridge to save my life with my left hand. Never played anyone that was even remotely good (breaks of 30-40 were the best I faced) but enjoyed playing shots with alternating hands to wind people up. My snooker club's now a Gurka restaurant so those days are long gone :(
