🎱 Snooker Legend Stephen Hendry Calls for Rule Overhaul! 🏆
Snooker great Stephen Hendry is championing a major change in the game following the Ronnie O’Sullivan “chalk-gate” controversy. 🎱
The debate kicked off when Ronnie continued using the old-school Triangle chalk, while most pros, like Neil Robertson, have shifted to Taom chalk, arguing that the former causes ‘kicks’ and damages the table cloth. Robertson’s call for a ban on Triangle chalk has caught Hendry’s support. Hendry remarked, “Ronnie using Triangle when everyone’s on Taom… It spoils the game as a spectacle!”
World Snooker has stated players can use whichever chalk they like, but it doesn’t end there for Hendry. He also wants to see frames end when a player needs too many snookers. “Who enjoys watching someone needing three or four snookers?” Hendry asked, pointing out that it drags on and doesn’t make for good TV.
Fellow snooker player Shaun Murphy agrees, suggesting the excitement is lost during what he calls “dead time.” However, not everyone is on board. Snooker pundits John Parrott and Ken Doherty feel that the essence of the game should remain. Parrott chimed in with, “Typical, two players who don’t know what a snooker looks like want to change the rules!” Doherty added, “It’s called snooker for a reason, John!”
Seems like this debate on the green baize is just heating up! What are your thoughts? 🎱🔍
