All cued up for a Chinese snooker future

From an early age, try as I might, I was never much good at cue sports.

Whether it was down the pub with my dad, at a pool hall with my university friends or on a night out later on, I always struggled to get those multicolored balls to go where they're meant to.

But my ineptitude didn't stop me, every time the start of summer rolled around, from tuning in to the annual World Snooker Championship on the BBC.
