I was struggling with certain shots and they were made harder. Taom chalk, a Finnish brand, started being used regularly on the circuit a couple of years ago and many players believe it has vastly reduced kicks and bad bounces.

Wilson decided a mass overhaul of his snooker technique was required after failing to make it on the professional tour the first time around. He set out on his journey at the age of 19 in , but by the end of aged 21 he had dropped off the professional tour due to a depressing sequence of reverses.

The ardent and likeable Newcastle United fan faced life in a cul--de-sac of regret comparable to Kevin Keegan managing the Toon Army back in , wondering what might have been.

The man from Wallsend had hit the wall. What followed was a six-year personal sojourn that saw Wilson work for Findus in a freezer, behind the bar at his local boozer The Powder Monkey and settle into life as a taxi driver attempting to alter a cue action that failed to stand up to the strain first time around.

That gave me a little bit of confidence when I started doing well with the change. I spent three months solo just telling myself to get closer to the white.

Wilson had one of the strongest starts to the season among the new players on tour. In the first tournament, the Wuxi Classic , he defeated James Wattana to qualify for his second ever venue appearance; there he would lose in a deciding frame to David Morris.

The highlight was his first ever semi-final at the Rotterdam Open where he was leading eventual tournament winner Mark Williams 3—1 but lost 4—3.

Wilson's season came to a disappointing end as he was beaten 10—4 by James Cahill in the opening round of World Championship qualifying.

He then knocked out Neil Robertson 4—2 to reach his first major quarter-final, stating afterwards that he had proven that he could handle the big occasions.

At the China Open , Wilson eliminated Liang Wenbo 5—3, Ricky Walden 5—2 and Dechawat Poomjaeng 5—1 to play in his second ranking event quarter-final in under two months.

Ding took the match into a deciding frame in which Wilson made a 72 to set up a meeting with reigning world champion Mark Selby in the final, in which Wilson was heavily beaten 10—2.
