Here is a rundown of the most important competitions about to take place in September and the players that will be aiming to come out on top.

Six Red World Championship (September 3rd - 8th)

WilliamsIt was here 12-months ago where Mark Williams began his incredible career renaissance by winning this particular event in Thailand. The Welshman used this tournament to great effect as a spring board to further triumphs at the Yushan World Open in China and most notably the World Championship in Sheffield.

This year’s competition will oversee a blend of experienced and amateur level players with former champions Mark Selby, Ding Junhui and Stephen Maguire touted as the favourites. Now entering its 10th year, the Six Red World Championship will be offering £237,879 to the winner.

As with all major championships, this year’s event will be using only the very finest snooker tables in the game. Hamilton Billiards are passionate about the sport and have always ensured that all of our snooker tables in stock are at the same standard being used on the pro tour.

Within our range, we have snooker tables for sale that suit a variety of purposes. If you have limited space then we have 6ft snooker tables for sale, whereas larger establishments can be equipped with any of our full size snooker tables for sale.

Shanghai Masters (September 10th - 16th)

Ding Junhui winning 2017 World OpenNext on the calendar is the Shanghai Masters which will be staged as a lucrative invitational event for the first time this year. The world’s current top 16 will be joined by eight Chinese players who will fight it out for the £200,000 winner’s cheque. This will be a star-studded event that will provide big name showdowns and the first appearance for Ronnie O’Sullivan at a major tournament this year.

The five time World Champion has been preparing for the new campaign with SightRight coaching, which places strong emphasis on eye alignment whilst using the snooker cue.

Hamilton Billiards have always been strong advocates for eye positioning and understand that having poorly lit playing facilities can severely jeopardise your enjoyment of the game.

That’s why we have snooker lights in stock that have been specially designed to create a vibrant tone for your snooker room whilst maintaining the appropriate atmosphere needed to play effectively.
