I don’t have live access to current news in this moment, but I can share what’s been reported recently about Ronnie O’Sullivan and his chalk choice.
- Recent coverage centers on his continued use of Triangle chalk, with many on the snooker circuit advocating for modern chalk brands. Some peers and commentators have criticized or questioned this choice, arguing it can affect table cleanliness or cue alignment.[6][8]
- Several outlets highlighted debates around whether his chalk preference should influence competition practices, and a few former players have called for changes or bans related to chalk residue on cloth.[1][8]
- In the broader media, Ronnie’s chalk decision has remained a talking point, especially when discussing table conditions and how equipment choices can impact play during major championships.[7][10]
If you’d like, I can look up the latest headlines and provide a concise summary with links to the most current articles. I can also pull a quick timeline of notable chalk-related incidents involving O’Sullivan for context.
