World Snooker Champion Higgins out of Masters
Many will have noticed how the World snooker Champion, John Higgins of Scotland has been playing recently having got the final of the last snooker tournament by playing some classy snooker. The Masters however does contain many surprises and Wednesday evening was just that.
Playing against the World number 11 Mark Allen one would have thought that Higgins had enough experience to take the game relatively easily and move into the semi finals. Allen had other ideas however and quickly took a 3-1 lead heading into the break. At a guess one may have thought the break may done some good to Higgins who looked keen and raring to go at the start of the tournament but it was not to be.
Whilst Higgins grabben the 5th frame to make it 3-2, Allen came back with the biggest break of the match to take a 4-2 lead and ultimately send Higgins on his way home. Higgins had one more frame left in the locker and proved this to bring the scores to 4-3 but mistakes were creeping in on Higgins’ gameand he was unable to stop Allen take advantage of the lapses as he grabbed the last two frames to win the match 6-4.
The best bookmakers now have Allen at 11/8 to make the final whilst Ronnie O’Sullivan who plays Peter Ebdon on Thursday afternoon is 6/1 on to make yet another Masters final. Mark Williams is second favourite for the final at odds of 2/1 to beat Shaun Murphy, the player that so surprisingly knocked Stephen Hendry out earlier in the competition.
The full size Snooker Table, the heavyweight billiards champion
Full size Snooker tables have been around since the time of the British Empire. The game itself was thought up in India by the British. It is thought to have been a development of the Russian billiards game which had fifteen balls and 1 red . Whoever started the game, the game rapidly gained in popularity and took over the other games as the favoured billiards game in Britain and beyond.
Billiards was the biggest table game in Britain once but that was superseded by Snooker in the 1950’s.
The official size for a full size snooker table is a whopping twelve feet long and 6 feet wide. The layout of the snooker table is similar to a billiards or pool table, with the difference in the cloth covering the table which has a nap on it. Just what is a nap? It is the same idea as on velvet fabric, with the fabric hairs raised up from the base fabric. . The nap is smooth going towards the black spot end and coarse or rough going toward the D. So the cueball can veer off course when hit slowly against the nap , so beware. This means the table should be ironed after every session of snooker played.
Slate bed Snooker tables are often manufactured in a dark wood, but other timbers such as oak are becoming popular. The big tables have 8 legs, sometimes more, to spread the load. The slate is also from ¾ to 1 ½ inches thick, depending on the manufacturer. Snooker tables are heavy, weighing in at 1000 kilograms or thereabouts. Amazingly it is ok to put them on normal floors as the weight is distributed between the eight legs and is equivalent to the weight of 2 average men per leg.
The rubber bumpers around the rails of a snooker table are taken for granted today. Originally the cushion rubbers were made with natural rubber and they had to be warmed up before play commenced. . Of course more advanced synthetic rubber is available now and do not require heating.
Full size Snooker tables are stunning pieces of furniture and completely dominate a room with their size. A classic model of snooker table is the snooker diner complete with dining top that can be removed before a game, but you must remember the table is taller than a normal table. You can allow for this by having bigger chairs around the table.
