If you notice, he plays whichever hand suits his stance at the table.

The venue, (The Guildhall, Preston) is my home town too, small bonus.

Well done Ronnie.

Holy Moley, am I a fan! Wanted to post this here but didn’t think anyone would know a thing about the snooker.

What a great season Ronnie has had!

Here’s what Stephen Fry had to say about 1000:

Ladies & Gentlemen - @ronnieo147 Ronnie O’Sullivan. Watching him play has been a privilege and a delight almost impossible to explain to those who don’t know the glorious game of snooker. Thank you Ronnie, thank you a thousand times #1000Centuries

Incredibly difficult game, and this man makes it look so easy.

And a “century break” is 100 points made at one visit to the table. Most really good snooker players spend their lives trying to get a “50” break.

The "History" channel did a series of him and a friend touring the US challenging people who don't know who he is to shoot 8-ball against him. It goes about as you'd expect.
