Of course, snooker is a massive part of everything I do, and I wouldn't have it any other way, but there is quite a lot that I do that doesn't involve reds and blacks.
Away from the table, I really love my golf, both playing and watching. There was a time in my teens when I almost swapped to play golf full time instead of snooker but as I can't chip or putt that wouldn't have been a very good idea (haha!). I currently play off a 5 handicap and have been known to shoot the odd under-par score but generally mid 70s is my mark.
I'm also a keen pianist, although my repertoire isn't that big at the moment. Currently I can play a lot of Elton John and Beatles stuff with the odd classic thrown in. It's something that I love and has been in our family for a long time, so I feel like I'm carrying on a tradition.
When I'm not practising or competing, I spend time with my friends or family and I'm also acting as mentor for two of my nephews, as they embark on their own snooker journey. Joshua Cooper and Ben Murphy - watch this space.

There are two types of pundits. There are previous players, hired for their knowledge of the game; and there are statisticians and journalists. Why Stephen was essentially called out on air for not knowing who this player is, is baffling.
It's 8.75mm at the tip end and generally I use firm Elk Master tips and it weighs in at 17.25 ounces. Pretty light by today's standards but that's just what I'm used to. My old cue, that I'd used from being 15 was almost identical to this and I guess over the years I just got used to it.
