My friend had a day off work today so we decided to go down and play some snooker in the early afternoon when it's less busy. So we went in and only 2 other tables were taken up and on one of the luxury tables was Stuart Bingham (world number 6 ranked) and another guy playing.

They seemed pretty into their game so I didn't say anything but watching his play was pretty remarkable, I didn't see him make one mistake. I've never seen a professional snooker game before so it was quite strange seeing someone control a cue-ball like that down my local club in real life.

They played about six games to our two lol.

Steve Davis was playing on the next table to me about 25 years ago in my local club. Likewise, he didn't make a single mistake and it was very impressive to watch. At one point he had to wait for me to take my shot before he could carry on as I was cueing with the white on the rail, and his was close to his rail. He said " good shot!" and not just to be kind. It actually was a really good shot - lucky for me he didn't witness my other shots, most of them were embarrassingly bad.

Met Paul Hunter and Joe Swail in an exhibition game a few years back. Also met John Higgins and Jimmy White separately at different exhibitions where they played local people.

cant be!

Similar to OP, I played on the next table to Tony Drago once.

He made a perfect 130+ break, without ever losing position in about 3 minutes and ****ed off to the bar.

To be fair club pockets are a deal easier than pro tournament ones.

Still amazing to watch.
