Message: [QUOTE="Huge, post: 2293906, member: 1992"] There's a standard in snooker where you know within yourself that you truly have gained a strong measure of control. Every player who has played a game or two in any league, at any grade ,will understand what I mean by control. He/she will see the A grader at some stage or another, perhaps when having a casual game themselves at the club. They look from the background at one table for in nearly every club or snooker room there is the table that is the 'one'. It's where the guns play almost exclusively. When your serious A graders play they demonstrate a mastery , a control of the white ball that all the others dream about. You get in the zone but if you've never made a century you almost certainly have never really been in the zone or had a real mastery. That's the standard I mentioned, the century break. Anywhere in the world amongst the snooker fraternity, if you've never done it and made triple figures you'll never get their respect(in the sporting sense) never be recognized as a true snooker player. You'll be the snooker equivalent of golfs hacker. 99 won't cut it, I kid you not. To continue the golf analogy the centurion is golfs scratch handicapper. If 6 very good golfers ,all capable of sub par rounds were sitting around and an 18 handicapper (assuming of course that the 18 handicapper is at his/her peak, not some elderly former great) is talking about some shot he/she hit the 6 all share an inner knowledge, they can't help feel as though they're in a club, an elite level, the cream who truly get to have control. Like they've passed from a lower level into the zone. Snookers hundred club is like that, like playing under par. [/QUOTE]
