You have to be an all round player to be good at 8UK as you cant clear up everytime and when u do get the chance you need to be good enough to do it, i've heard his safety is second to none but i wanna find out for myself, quite excited tbh i pmed him i hope he gets bk to me!

I don't think he'd be a strong player if he focused on attack though, he's good positionally but not a potter. Not enough to be considered an all rounder, he's definitely more defense minded than that.

Plenty of attacking players are great defensively, but they prefer to play attacking. Consistancy gets him to the top, but head-to-head I wouldn't back him against a lot of players.

Sounds like I think he's rubbish, I really don't. Consistancy is one of the best traits to have on here, but he is defensive minded not an all rounder.

The first ever 8UK frame I played on here was in a tourney against onua. I had played on snooker for several months before, but first time on pool.
I hit a runout and he got angry at me for being a "fake newbie".

I would rank him in a similar fashion to al, though al was an all rounder.

To be successful on the UK table you have to be good at either attack or defence, whereas on the other tables you need a mix of both so I would say it's less of an all rounder's game

Last safety game battle i had was against coach which was some months ago. Played 5 games.

4-1 onua and 3 frames it took like 8 minutes, 9 minutes and 12 minutes to 6 ball him 3x i believe.

Only because the 8 ball would be like right under the yellow ball where the pocket it is and the red over the yellow etc. Really depends where the balls are on the table. Okay not giving away any more info about this lol.... Nuff said Theres alot more to it then just that... Thought i'd just share a bit
