Judd Trump changes tip between sessions of English Open final against Zhang Anda

Miscues have plagued Judd Trump during the English Open, but are hopefully a thing of the past after he put on a new tip following the first session of the final.

At the end of the first session, Jimmy White said in the Eurosport studio that he felt Trump would change his tip before the action resumed on Sunday evening.

White was proved to be correct, as tournament director Paul Collier put on a new tip for Trump.

The Bristolian did not leave the Brentwood Centre venue after the first session, and was working hard on bedding his new tip in.

White suggested putting on a new tip would not cause too much of an issue for the 2019 world champion.

“Paul Collier puts fantastic tips on,” White said in the Eurosport studio. “I’ve seen Judd in the practice room, he has been there ever since. His brother went and got him some food and he has not gone anywhere.

“The tips they put on these days, you can play on them after a couple of hours. Before it used to take a couple of days.

“He will be fine now, okay he is 5-3 behind, but he won’t have that pressure of when he plays a power shot will he miscue?”
