I also keep an eye on the Seiko watch sub, and someone just posted asking about this rather cool clock they found.

Looks pretty snooker-related if you ask me. Anyone know anything more…?

Early on in the final Hendry made a comment about how unusual the look of Wu Yize’s bridge hand was. And I can tell you the reason for it is because he has a very prominent level of hypermobility in his fingers. (Pics 1-3).

But you can also see Mark Allen has it too (4). It’s very obvious when certain players are bridging over balls, like in the pictures.

(Pics 5 & 6 are just some I snapped of my own fingers to demonstrate what I mean. Most people’s fingers don’t bend like this. Though it’s also not massively uncommon either; I think the estimate is something like 10-20% of adults.)

Like probably a lot of people who aren’t professional sushi chefs, I spend a fair bit more time polishing and admiring my yanagiba, than actually slicing fish with them. But yesterday I decided to treat myself to some marinated tuna. And took some pics before I screwed up the polish on this one by using it, cos it’s quite nice.

Can’t remember exactly what stones were involved, but I likely finished with a Maruo SS and Uchi fingerstones.
