There are still 100's of Pro-Ams and club events around the UK, plus most countries throughout Europe and Asia also host their own Pro events. I think World Snooker should upgrade some of these events to Ranking events, more tournaments means more money which means more players. Where are you based? You said outside the UK. If you need equipment then I am your man!! <a href="http://www.billiardsboutique.com" rel="nofollow">Snooker Cues UK</a> Cheers Pete Williams Hi

Essentially all of the top players are capable of playing perfectly, though - it's almost entirely down to mental strength and confidence. Willie Thorne, now a commentator, is the perfect example of this - he was genuinely distressed when he failed to make pots that he'd knock in for fun in practice.
