Actually, the more i watch this video the more i was wondering what was so different to watching snooker today....and i suddenly realised that Ted Lowe & John Spencer hardly say a word throughout the break. These days you have to put up with constant witterings of the 'commentators', over analysing every single shot....just watch Jimmy the Genius play - no words needed !!

I cant thank you enough i really love Jimmy :)

@Lisle2nd that's ok...i really like this break...speedy yet calming at the same time....beautifully and effortlessly made..

Brilliant but how did you miss the last shot

Love the way the ted and spencer hardly speak during jimmy's break only at the right times just watching it unfold. unlike the commentators now who just dont shut up and let the players get on with their break rather than criticise every shot

[Karlos360Ace]

This is perfect jimmy at his whirlwind best making the break look so effortless and easy. Shame he cant play at this speed now. No one plays like this now, only o'sullivan and trump come close but the way jimmy played back then is the base of the way most attacking players play now.

@samasnookerfan Obviously. Clearly. Indeed. What not.

I miss jimmy like this - also miss the days of Ted Lowe and John Spencer commentating, though Dennis Taylor and John Virgo are both very good

[SirNoobs]

Man look at that cueball dance, Jimmy learned the table's speed and how he confidently and accurately positions the cueball is incredible. He uses mostly stun/stun follow shots in this match and also rarely hits the cushions!

@samasnookerfan True! I can be so absent-minded  -- forgot there was the obligatory yellow next! How silly of me! Thanks!
