When Snooker Players Lose Their Temper

Snapped Cue

What happens when Snooker Players lose their temper?


Well obviously we all react to situations in different ways and pressure is personal. Having seen those tempers flare at local league is bad enough but how much more pressure is in the pot when you’re playing to put food on the table?

From personal experience, I’ve seen some interesting reactions to pressure, here are I have been part of when snooker players lose their temper:

  • Punching and even head butting the side rail after missing a few shots
  • Numerous cue throwing incidents from players all ages
  • Smashing the cue butt into the floor and even furniture
  • Head butting team mates for missing a crucial match pot
  • Player snapping a borrowed cue after losing a money game
  • A losing player covering the table whilst an opposition player is cueing a blue for a 60 break

I’m sure we have all seen things over the years so I thought I’d post some videos of the professionals so we don’t feel alone when it comes to keeping your cool.


 

When snooker players lose their temper – A frustrating game? Oh yes……

Jimmy White gives a little feedback on his cue throw and an insight into when snooker players lose their temper. After losing 7 World Snooker Finals you gotta love the guy, he loves snooker for what it is and it must be truly frustrating to miss what are ‘Bread and Butter’ pots to him…..
