PPS: SnookerZone author/journalist Chris Gaynor emailed the WPBSA and requested if the author/journalist of this web site Chris Gaynor was eligible to play on the WDBS Tour out of curiosity, due to a nasty bike accident shoulder damage in December 2020.

The damage, the place he broke his shoulder in 4 locations, and needed to have an operation to repair the whole lot again up once more – throughout a COVID PANDEMIC!, left him WITHOUT FULL ROTATION of his proper shoulder because of RARE BONE GROWTH that left him with out the FULL ROTATION.

The medical doctors stated there was nothing they might do for the second till there was a breakthrough with this type of discovery, because the PHYSIO undertaken was rendered ineffective and halted midway by way of due to the invention of why the PHYSIO wasn’t working. Chris Gaynor was truly going to be referred to in a JOURNAL OF MEDICINE for this RARE BONE GROWTH by the Marketing consultant who had led the case.

We had been questioning whether or not this damage would allow us to play on the WDBS Tour for some time, or not less than compete in a single at Woking. He has performed in lots of different occasions – like Joe Swail, who had a listening to incapacity nevertheless it apparently didn’t have an effect on his snooker.

The WPBSA Rep reply was: “This may increasingly depend upon the extent to which your bodily impairment impacts your means to play snooker. It might be price you chatting with a member of the WDBS group at Woking Snooker Centre on Friday or over the weekend.”

On a fast degree, the one affect this damage has had is Chris Gaynor can not play MASSE SHOTS or HIGH SWERVE photographs or certainly any photographs the place he has to carry his cue up at a sure peak. It might have an effect on his means to cue by way of on a line of intention because the SHOULDER ANGLE just isn’t utterly straight. He has regarded in a mirror to establish this SHOULDER ANGLE. He would really like affirmation from the WDBS with a YES OR NO ANSWER to place the question to relaxation correctly as he isn’t positive.

We’ll see…
