I am putting an end to the discussion about which sport is difficult, snooker or pool. A snooker player can easily pick up pool after a match or 2 but a pool player cannot do the same with snooker. This is the reason we see many snooker players trying their luck in pool but not any pool players trying snooker.
I tend to agree, smaller table with different ball rolls of the cushion normally find out a snooker player, but having said thad Judd would wipe the floor with these guys on a snooker table, and can still do so on the pool format
I don’t think you’re wrong, but I will point out that there are loads of competitive rooms and leagues in every country to develop your pool skills as a snooker player, but very few solid snooker rooms or leagues to develop your skills with in most countries. An American pool player trying to break into snooker is like an American baseball player breaking into cricket. He or she would basically have to move to another country to develop competitive match play experience. Not easy to do. But yes, it’s also a more difficult sport.
As a fan of all billiard sports, I love seeing this! Like others said, it will be interesting to see Judd against higher skill opponents. Also a thought.. I was surprised Judd used an American cue as well. When Ronnie played away from snooker, he kept using his snooker cue. :D I love seeing players testing themselves!
@@mescellaneous The skill level of snooker is for sure higher then pool billiards. But its not easy for snooker player to play pool because the hit point of the balls is different, tactical play is different, cushion and ball action is different and many other details. All top snooker players would lose against good pool billiard players.
@@philiphaycock3845 dude you ain't lyin. I thought to myself, "This is the US Open, dude can't be THAT bad." But the more you watch his body language when he misses a shot, it's like he doesn't really care... Seems strange.
@@philiphaycock3845 that’d be crazy if true, but to me it looked like he just got caught up and intimidated by how good trump is and how easy he was potting the balls. Was almost a way for joe to detach himself from the reality of what was happening lol
Being from the UK and watching snooker on and off my whole life, this just looks ridiculous 😂 I can’t believe they need more than 30 seconds a shot. Ronnies 5 min 147 would blow their mind.
what a stupid comment. If there are 5 balls in the way of the ball you need to hit its going to be a hard shot whether youre playing snooker or pool. Snookers a harder sport im not trying to say its not, but pool is very challenging as well.
Its genuinely ridiculous how big the pockets are on those american pool tables, when playing on them it almost feels like a joke. Can make anyone feel good at pool
@@arda8393 when I see the ball hitting off the cushion then the jaws of the pocket before rolling in I can’t believe that 1. This tomfoolery is being televised and 2. Are these really the best pool players in the field???? Id love to see more snooker players make the change and start dominating the sport 😂
I hate how some pool fans are trying to down grade Judd by saying that he can't win against top pool players🚮 It's his first try of this game and he's fairing well. I wonder if best pool players could beat bottom 70 of snooker players in a tournament
not at all, snooker is much more difficult discipline, the pockets are narrower and closer the object ball is to the cushion, the harder is potting it...
At the end of the day, if you clear up from the break and the winner breaks next, you could beat God if you break first. Judd is a cue master, he shouldn't be scared of anyone to be fair. If he breaks well, he wins! Ronnie would be the same🤔
as much as Judd was good in this match , I reckon an average pub player would've taken a couple of racks/frames from Magee , very disappointing standard of opponent to be honest .
I agree but you can only beat what's in front of you, I do think Trump is gonna come unstuck against a better player though, as a brit I hope I'm wrong but 1st tournament in a new sport is rarely a winner

Some of the Brits need to realize that in pool, only the top players are full-time pros. There's no money in pool past the first twenty or thirty places in the rankings. In the early 2010s a friend of mine was friends with the guy who ranked 27th, and he told me the guy had to drive to tournaments and sleep in his car. Most pool tournaments have lots of part time players, amateurs, former pros who have stepped away from the game full time, etc. My friend for instance is a 60+ year old rare book dealer and yet he plays in the pro tournaments that are local to him. I don't know who Joe is but I haven't seen him in a match before. With that said it's just lovely watching Judd on a pool table. He's got such a gorgeous stroke and his long shots are so pure.

he comes 6th in terms of most titles in snooker, and yes I know you're talking about his technique etc., and not wins, but it don't mean shit if you don't win. Anyway, I know this was 7 months ago but I had to chime in.
Honestly, snooker is so much more interesting to watch and is a better game overall. The setup and atmosphere is much better as well. I imagine pool is keeping up mainly because of its accessibility.
They are different games completely. This is a video of 9 ball, so keep snooker comparisons out of it as they have no context or reference to this video.
Watching a world snooker champion, as phenomenal as Judd Trump is still making mistakes / missing shots he'd never miss in his nightmares on a snooker table, proves this is a different game.
Would take Trump 2-3 year of solid only American pool table practise to be world-class but no doubt he would be. It doesn't take long at all to work out the different cushions. I bet he doesn't even know how to use the dots on the tables for working out the angles or banks etc yet.
Funny how the commentator was basically saying he needs to learn the angles, but ended up missing 2 shots. The discipline in snooker makes for a vicious potter. Look at mgees posture and cueing technique, i see better in the pub.
@@TheNuggzt3r look how low Judd gets when taking his shots, his cue is nice & flat, parallel to the table. judds back hand comes through the shot nice & straight. by comparison, Joe barely bends down, so his cue is angled down into the table
@@TheNuggzt3r there's also the legs, the leg on the same side as the arm you hold the cue should be straight and the foot pointing in the direction of the shot, while the other leg bends a little. Mcgee's legs stay to the side of the cue, really ugly stance
And snooker is not 100x harder. It's about 30% harder. Everything is smaller so ratios are the same but the size of table is longer making it about 30% harder. Played both and prefer snooker as it is much more exciting.
@@ddeboy002 9 ball is much more about power, while snooker is about finesse. You can see in the weight of the cue. As the commentators have said, any top shelf snooker player could make a name for themselves in pool, but not the other way round.
@@ddeboy002 Put any Pro Pool player up against any Pro snooker player and play 100 racks of Pool, then 100 racks of Snooker. The Snooker player has a good chance of winning playing pool, the Pool player has ZERO chance of winning playing snooker, and it wouldn't even be a surprise to see the Snooker player win the snooker 100 - 0.
@@ddeboy002 You've never played snooker mate, Go play one frame of Snooker and come back and try to tell us it's something you just made up in your own head like 30% more difficult? It's so much more difficult in everything and in every way imaginable, there is no real comparison. Snooker is so much more difficult than pool. It's not even an argument, it's a fact.
Never watched pool before. As soon as the match started I recognized Phil's voice but after a few minutes I realised who was the second commentatpr, Nick fucking Schulman, poker legend. Got to love americans and their unexpected crossovers 🤣🤣
Thanks mate, we love you too. :-) I watch snooker, you 'should' watch more pool, it's good stuff. Take a look at some professional carom (three cushion pool), likely the most difficult stick and table game out there. When Ronnie came to the states and tried it out you could tell he really liked it...he said something about the delayed satisfaction, as many times up to five and occasionally six rails are involved in a shot, and pocketing counts exactly 0%, as there aren't any on the table. I was a bit surprised how well Ronnie adapted, totally different than snooker. And by difficulty I mean in running strings. Two completions on an inning is considered pro level play, and more than twenty is virtually unheard of, though it has happened, as I understand it. Also one pocket might hold some appeal, the strategy there has been likened to making it the chess of pool.

I'm not sure I'd like to see that. I don't mean to discredit Pool players, but Snooker is much, much harder. The top Snooker players might not be able to beat the top Pool players at Pool, but even fairly average Snooker players would wipe the floor with top Pool players at Snooker.
@@spareumbrella8477 it's actually the opposite. Most top pool pros are decent at snooker, but the best snooker players in the world (Ronnie, Trump, etc.) are trash at pool. Selby was originally a pool player and has won snooker world championships. Efren beat Ronnie at snooker back in the day. Jayson Shaw - the only actual pro that Trump played (who spanked him 11-0 or 10-1) has a 145 break. Snooker just isn't a hard game with the small balls, open pockets, about 50 balls to choose from, and the patterns get super repetitive. Plus the table is a bit bigger (12 ft vs the 9 or 10 feet typical in pool), so there's a lot more open space to work with (people who don't play pool usually don't realize that for good players it gets easier to break and run as the tables get bigger).
Not so sure about, because the different size between pool table and snooker table. The biggest different between two sport is game strategy, and the ability of "white ball control".
@@whysosalty2185 that's just an impression believe me. If you are a good really good amateur player lets say aaa or semi pro you should know that the biggest gap in skill is actually between semi pros and pros. He is playing that bad just because he could not handel the pressure, knowing who judd trump is and knowing what he is capable of. But if any pro plays against you believe me you will be consistently struggling to win one or 2 racks in a best of 11
@@monopinion7824 I think he played really bad not showing much ball control, using the wrong spin @5:40 caused him to scratch and lose the first match. To be fair Judd also played very defensively not giving McGee any room to breath when possible. But what else to be expected from #2 Snooker player? Just kind of a wasted opportunity to see him face someone more skilled.
@@theintergalactictransdimen4122wrong spin ? I thing he misjudged the shot, and scratched but what do you mean wrong spin ? It depends on the angle he had he could have been playing right spin with a little bit of high to avoid the middle pocket for 3 rails or low left to avoid the middle pocket. But believe it has nothing to do with wrong spin... Anyway Judd tried competitive pool he was ok for a pro i hope he will do it again. He can only get better at it with his skills.
it's too stiff and ugly for elite pool.. you Judd cultists are weird.. he's not remotely an elite pool player... snooker yes, not pocket pool. Not by a long shot.
LOL and some Americans actually believe that Pool is a sport that requires more skill. A Pool player would never even be able to win a frame against a competent Snooker player. That is just 100% a fact
Great to finally watch a first 9 ball game in full because of the snooker overlap. Also very weird how similar the commentator sounds like Clive Everton - I almost assumed it was him at times! Given me inspiration to try this game properly now knowing a bit more from this
@@jimmyjones6086 Thats irrelevant, he potted some really difficult shots amazingly, its doesn't matter who he was playing against. it's still impressive
@@arian6755 Pool doesn't make you win a frame by shooting some shots... like in snooker. Pool makes you win a frame by potting ALL balls in a single visit.. if you dont'? You're screwed! Screwed like Trump was!
Joe Magee must asking himself - "Why the hell is snooker player playing vs me 9 ball on this small table?" It's like NHL hockey team leave NHL and come to Japan play hockey :D
😂 your a noob.. Whenever Judd Trump comes in mind ..mind strikes snooker..he is the former world Champ.. It is obvious that we compare it..of course we enjoy comparing too.. I guess your a salty pool fan
first of all he's not world's greatest cueist. and second of all he's not world's greatest cueist. he has curvy cue action which is not the cue sport is about, it should be straight as a line. he has put in extreme hours with curvy action so it works for him. people can walk on a rope if they keep on doing same thing again and again so not an extraordinary thing for curvy action to work
Exactly what I think he laid cash down on a judd 9-0 win I just knew he was going to miss when he came to the table, The commentators even said he was not used to have bookmakers laying odds on his matches
Please dont spread or parrot such uneducated bs. Do you really see a difference in difficulty between: a) win 100m against Usain Bolt b) win a marathon against Elliot Kipchoke Also, why did no snooker player ever win Pool WC, when on the other hand a former pool player won snooker wc 4 times?
@@ricklocket2812 Who is this mystery pool player? A 4x world champion too? That’s impressive…not many great snooker players have won the snooker world title even once, but a pool player won it 4 times?
I think it’s more like nascar (pool) v formula 1 (snooker). A good F1 driver probably won’t win nascar, but he’ll do well. A nascar driver would be lapped by most of the grid in an F1 race. F1 is far more technical, has the world’s most talented drivers, and an average driver would just either spin the car or stall it. F1 is the king of automobile sports. Snooker is the king of cue ball games.
The legendary cricketer Donald Bradman became brilliant because he used to practice cricket playing with a stump and a golf ball. Because snooker is played with large tables and small holes it's almost as easy for a snooker player to win a game of pool as it is for a pro golfer to win a crazy golf tournament!
Quite a lot of sportsmen use this technique of practicing with a smaller version of their sport to give them an edge. Eg. Michael Phelps would practice the butterfly in a paddling pool.
i would imagine snooker players have a sharper sense in terms of cue control, cueball placement, the temperament, etc. would be excited to see future matches
@@kelvinvanbaalen6495 Shaw is smart enough to know that and not try snooker... Trump was dumb enough to try pool and got his ass handed to him.. get it now?
It’s crazy that snooker is settled over first to 18 sometimes where you might need to pot 30 balls in a frame, this round you could pot 9 balls and get through to the next round. Does seem to favour luck more than skill with a really short format
Oh boy.. You have to watch Judd Trump vs Jayson Shaw... and tell me where your luck theory is heading next... That was a 3rd round match where Shaw totally obliterated Trump 11-1... Trump should stick to snooker!

It doesn't mean if both have table, pockets, balls and cue so its same in playing of course the table cloth, borders and size of pockets are different and its much harder playing snooker than pool. After all he has been World's number 1 snooker player for almost 2 years and awarded in so many precious categories in snooker world.
@@hihinotamment Shaw is way more than a blackball champion.. he won the US Open 9 ball before and some other tournaments! And I didn't expect much from Trump but your fellow snooker fans try to belittle pool like it's nothing. And that's just foolish haha!
@@jimmyjones6086 Pool is obviously way simpler than snooker since snooker tables are bigger, so shots are longer and therefore harder. Pool is more luck-based than snooker too, because there are fewer balls to hit, so it's easier to clear the table after a good break. Also pool rule means that the less balls you have the harder it is for you if your balls are not in good position, which is a philosophy snooker players are certainly not used to
Agreed, the commentators are prone to exaggeration, but a UK eight ball table is completely alien to nine ball US table with buckets for pockets and a slick cloth. The real test for Judd is when he gets into a tactical battle with the more seasoned pool players and those that are good with a jump Cue. Great start though.
If you are an average snooker player 9 ball is very easy as in terms of potting as the pockets are so big. The difference is combination shots and the break is massive Ronnie O'Sullivan Jimmy white and Alex Higgins and Steve Davis were very good at 9 ball
Yeah, they talked like he had never played on a pool table before. Even if he hadn't, I think he would have stopped by a pool hall a few times before he boarded the plane.

I was surprised Judd used an American cue as well. When Ronnie played away from snooker, he kept using his snooker cue. :D I love seeing players testing themselves!
Higher skill? lol
LOL Higher skill, more like a downgrade of his skills.
@@wingzero2348 huh, you'd expect him never to miss then
@@mescellaneous The skill level of snooker is for sure higher then pool billiards. But its not easy for snooker player to play pool because the hit point of the balls is different, tactical play is different, cushion and ball action is different and many other details. All top snooker players would lose against good pool billiard players.
@@udtojanpestillos2094 bro it aint billiards, its 9 ball pool. Billiards doesnt have pockets
Great to see Judd playing pool. Worst thing about the match was watching Joe. Felt sorry for him really, couldn't handle the pressure.
He wouldnt like to match Judd in first round. I'm sure he is a better player than it looks today.
Some of his shots looked like he had money on the outcome tbh
@@philiphaycock3845 dude you ain't lyin. I thought to myself, "This is the US Open, dude can't be THAT bad." But the more you watch his body language when he misses a shot, it's like he doesn't really care... Seems strange.
@@philiphaycock3845 that’d be crazy if true, but to me it looked like he just got caught up and intimidated by how good trump is and how easy he was potting the balls. Was almost a way for joe to detach himself from the reality of what was happening lol
@@broy310 ya his expression looked like he knew this was an exhibition almost.
Didn’t expect to hear Nick Schulman commentating 😅 didn’t know he was a decent pool player before he started poker ✌️😙
Being from the UK and watching snooker on and off my whole life, this just looks ridiculous 😂 I can’t believe they need more than 30 seconds a shot. Ronnies 5 min 147 would blow their mind.
@@jyt2394 American is 8 foot but still its nothing from 12 lmao
what a stupid comment. If there are 5 balls in the way of the ball you need to hit its going to be a hard shot whether youre playing snooker or pool. Snookers a harder sport im not trying to say its not, but pool is very challenging as well.
@@Cousin_n1cky it’s a pub game mate.
Its genuinely ridiculous how big the pockets are on those american pool tables, when playing on them it almost feels like a joke. Can make anyone feel good at pool
@@arda8393 when I see the ball hitting off the cushion then the jaws of the pocket before rolling in I can’t believe that 1. This tomfoolery is being televised and 2. Are these really the best pool players in the field????
Id love to see more snooker players make the change and start dominating the sport 😂
I hate how some pool fans are trying to down grade Judd by saying that he can't win against top pool players🚮 It's his first try of this game and he's fairing well. I wonder if best pool players could beat bottom 70 of snooker players in a tournament
not at all, snooker is much more difficult discipline, the pockets are narrower and closer the object ball is to the cushion, the harder is potting it...
At the end of the day, if you clear up from the break and the winner breaks next, you could beat God if you break first. Judd is a cue master, he shouldn't be scared of anyone to be fair. If he breaks well, he wins! Ronnie would be the same🤔
as much as Judd was good in this match , I reckon an average pub player would've taken a couple of racks/frames from Magee , very disappointing standard of opponent to be honest .
I agree but you can only beat what's in front of you, I do think Trump is gonna come unstuck against a better player though, as a brit I hope I'm wrong but 1st tournament in a new sport is rarely a winner

Judd in 9-ball game? Definitely must see it. Thanks a lot
Some of the Brits need to realize that in pool, only the top players are full-time pros. There's no money in pool past the first twenty or thirty places in the rankings. In the early 2010s a friend of mine was friends with the guy who ranked 27th, and he told me the guy had to drive to tournaments and sleep in his car. Most pool tournaments have lots of part time players, amateurs, former pros who have stepped away from the game full time, etc. My friend for instance is a 60+ year old rare book dealer and yet he plays in the pro tournaments that are local to him. I don't know who Joe is but I haven't seen him in a match before.
With that said it's just lovely watching Judd on a pool table. He's got such a gorgeous stroke and his long shots are so pure.
It looks like he’s never even played pool before, you American pool players are terrible
I think we should just let his work in the tournament speak for itself. He’s got people talking about pool. Nothing wrong with that!
and that was the plan all along, great point Joe!
Yep!!!!!! Best comment!

He's in the top 5 cue sport practitioners ever. Facts. His talent is unreal, from the delicate touch to more power than anyone. Genius.
That isn't a fact, but he's very good. 5 isn't enough lol
In fact I'm not even sure you could say he's in the top 5 snooker ones either! So many amazing players over the years.
he comes 6th in terms of most titles in snooker, and yes I know you're talking about his technique etc., and not wins, but it don't mean shit if you don't win. Anyway, I know this was 7 months ago but I had to chime in.
😂
What does that make Jayson Shaw then, considering he white washed Trump? 😂😂
Just goes to show ya snooker and pool are two very different sports
Honestly, snooker is so much more interesting to watch and is a better game overall. The setup and atmosphere is much better as well. I imagine pool is keeping up mainly because of its accessibility.
They are different games completely. This is a video of 9 ball, so keep snooker comparisons out of it as they have no context or reference to this video.
Watching a world snooker champion, as phenomenal as Judd Trump is still making mistakes / missing shots he'd never miss in his nightmares on a snooker table, proves this is a different game.
Yeah particularly the angles, but he adapted extremely quickly
Would take Trump 2-3 year of solid only American pool table practise to be world-class but no doubt he would be. It doesn't take long at all to work out the different cushions. I bet he doesn't even know how to use the dots on the tables for working out the angles or banks etc yet.
Magnificent shot maker! he played way better than I expected
Funny how the commentator was basically saying he needs to learn the angles, but ended up missing 2 shots.
The discipline in snooker makes for a vicious potter. Look at mgees posture and cueing technique, i see better in the pub.
@@bromarvids5186 Could you name the bad things you've noticed? I'm a beginner and trying to improve...fundamentals is the way to go.
@@TheNuggzt3r look how low Judd gets when taking his shots, his cue is nice & flat, parallel to the table. judds back hand comes through the shot nice & straight. by comparison, Joe barely bends down, so his cue is angled down into the table
@@robcaseyire Thank you! Always looking for things to improve my stroke.
@@TheNuggzt3r there's also the legs, the leg on the same side as the arm you hold the cue should be straight and the foot pointing in the direction of the shot, while the other leg bends a little. Mcgee's legs stay to the side of the cue, really ugly stance
This can be just the beginning of a great pool player, Judd Trump is so committed and he comes from snooker that is 100 times harder.
And snooker is not 100x harder. It's about 30% harder. Everything is smaller so ratios are the same but the size of table is longer making it about 30% harder. Played both and prefer snooker as it is much more exciting.
@@ddeboy002 9 ball is much more about power, while snooker is about finesse. You can see in the weight of the cue. As the commentators have said, any top shelf snooker player could make a name for themselves in pool, but not the other way round.
@@cylejh wrong. I can hit the rack at 25% power and make a wing ball every time.
@@ddeboy002 Put any Pro Pool player up against any Pro snooker player and play 100 racks of Pool, then 100 racks of Snooker. The Snooker player has a good chance of winning playing pool, the Pool player has ZERO chance of winning playing snooker, and it wouldn't even be a surprise to see the Snooker player win the snooker 100 - 0.
@@ddeboy002 You've never played snooker mate, Go play one frame of Snooker and come back and try to tell us it's something you just made up in your own head like 30% more difficult? It's so much more difficult in everything and in every way imaginable, there is no real comparison. Snooker is so much more difficult than pool. It's not even an argument, it's a fact.
Never watched pool before. As soon as the match started I recognized Phil's voice but after a few minutes I realised who was the second commentatpr, Nick fucking Schulman, poker legend.
Got to love americans and their unexpected crossovers 🤣🤣

And was quite knowledgeable about the game. Good commentating for sure.
@@uriahotten3895 Bucket pockets
Thanks mate, we love you too. :-) I watch snooker, you 'should' watch more pool, it's good stuff. Take a look at some professional carom (three cushion pool), likely the most difficult stick and table game out there. When Ronnie came to the states and tried it out you could tell he really liked it...he said something about the delayed satisfaction, as many times up to five and occasionally six rails are involved in a shot, and pocketing counts exactly 0%, as there aren't any on the table. I was a bit surprised how well Ronnie adapted, totally different than snooker. And by difficulty I mean in running strings. Two completions on an inning is considered pro level play, and more than twenty is virtually unheard of, though it has happened, as I understand it. Also one pocket might hold some appeal, the strategy there has been likened to making it the chess of pool.
The way the commentator called it snucker had me rolling! 🤣🤣
“Didn’t even touch the rail, as is customary when playing snucker.”
U WOT M8?
Was nice to see him getting confidence after each shot.

Commentator. I love seeing these snooker guys have a go at pool
I would like to see these pool players have a go at snooker
actually not a bad idea
think pretty much all bar one have been useless at snooker, most snooker players relax into pool quite easily
I'm not sure I'd like to see that. I don't mean to discredit Pool players, but Snooker is much, much harder. The top Snooker players might not be able to beat the top Pool players at Pool, but even fairly average Snooker players would wipe the floor with top Pool players at Snooker.
@@Bagio1221 and who was this one cause I dont remember a single pool player doing anything of note in snooker
@@spareumbrella8477 it's actually the opposite. Most top pool pros are decent at snooker, but the best snooker players in the world (Ronnie, Trump, etc.) are trash at pool.
Selby was originally a pool player and has won snooker world championships. Efren beat Ronnie at snooker back in the day. Jayson Shaw - the only actual pro that Trump played (who spanked him 11-0 or 10-1) has a 145 break. Snooker just isn't a hard game with the small balls, open pockets, about 50 balls to choose from, and the patterns get super repetitive. Plus the table is a bit bigger (12 ft vs the 9 or 10 feet typical in pool), so there's a lot more open space to work with (people who don't play pool usually don't realize that for good players it gets easier to break and run as the tables get bigger).
I just have to laugh at some of the shots Judd plays. His ability is crazy good.
Yeah like that one rail draw in rack 7 FOR PERFECT position on the 9
And the 8 ball in rack 8 holy fuck
Not too sure why this is surprising anyone, at least anyone who watches pro snooker.
@@MrJdsenior Many pool players are unfamiliar with snooker
Not so sure about, because the different size between pool table and snooker table.
The biggest different between two sport is game strategy, and the ability of "white ball control".
Top players aren't going to give Judd as many opportunities to get in rhythm like Magee did. He looks pretty good though no lie.
Magee literally played so bad you or I could have won this match tbh
@@whysosalty2185 that's just an impression believe me. If you are a good really good amateur player lets say aaa or semi pro you should know that the biggest gap in skill is actually between semi pros and pros. He is playing that bad just because he could not handel the pressure, knowing who judd trump is and knowing what he is capable of. But if any pro plays against you believe me you will be consistently struggling to win one or 2 racks in a best of 11
Judd can raise him game to ridiculously exceptional levels.
@@monopinion7824 I think he played really bad not showing much ball control, using the wrong spin @5:40 caused him to scratch and lose the first match. To be fair Judd also played very defensively not giving McGee any room to breath when possible. But what else to be expected from #2 Snooker player? Just kind of a wasted opportunity to see him face someone more skilled.
@@theintergalactictransdimen4122wrong spin ?
I thing he misjudged the shot, and scratched but what do you mean wrong spin ? It depends on the angle he had he could have been playing right spin with a little bit of high to avoid the middle pocket for 3 rails or low left to avoid the middle pocket. But believe it has nothing to do with wrong spin...
Anyway Judd tried competitive pool he was ok for a pro i hope he will do it again. He can only get better at it with his skills.
Judd has such a perfect stance and stroke. Just so smooth!

I seem to remember Steve Davis doing exactly the same.
31:44 plays with left and then the right hand to see out the frame. Totally missed by commentary. He’s a freak!
He does that even in snooker lol
So smooth with his right hand the commentators didn't even notice he switched to shoot the 9 ball... Truly a freak.
Great to finally watch a first 9 ball game in full because of the snooker overlap. Also very weird how similar the commentator sounds like Clive Everton - I almost assumed it was him at times! Given me inspiration to try this game properly now knowing a bit more from this
Wicked shots from Judd.
Think Joe should've just let Judd take the last shot and not forfeit, bit weak not letting him finish imho
Beautiful stroke. I think he'll get some experience and be a real threat.

The legendary cricketer Donald Bradman became brilliant because he used to practice cricket playing with a stump and a golf ball.

It's a well known fact that Judd would play snooker and pool every day before he turned pro, so to say he is new to the game is a fallacy.
Agreed, the commentators are prone to exaggeration, but a UK eight ball table is completely alien to nine ball US table with buckets for pockets and a slick cloth. The real test for Judd is when he gets into a tactical battle with the more seasoned pool players and those that are good with a jump Cue. Great start though.
@@harry2.01 no he played American Pool we do have those in the UK
