Reacting to the shot, Davis - a six-time world champion and four-time UK Championship winner - said: "This table needs to be releveled if that's happening." Snooker chief Barry Hearn doesn't believe Ronnie O'Sullivan would be able to compete on today's pool circuit."When we started the Mosconi, I used to use Jimmy White, Steve Davis, Ronnie O'Sullivan, Alex Higgins... and it was purely to give the event more status and a bit more exposure.
"It is an entirely different game. But I think snooker players have got the brains to be able to adjust, and I think more of them will give it a go over the next few years. How successful they'll be will depend on the opposition and which other players are coming into the game. Because it clearly has a very bright future."
