1. Rocket’s Return to ‘Instincts’: Ronnie O’Sullivan Seeks to Rediscover Fun and Flair
2. Ronnie O’Sullivan: Safer but Just as Dangerous on the Snooker Table
3. Ronnie O’Sullivan Critiques His Performances: ‘Only 4 or 5 Good Displays’

Snooker fans around the world are eagerly awaiting the return of Ronnie O’Sullivan to his old “instinctive” self as he seeks to rediscover his fun and flair at the table. The Rocket, as he is famously known, has admitted that he needs to be less of a “perfectionist” and more in tune with his natural instincts in order to improve his game.

In a recent interview with ITV, O’Sullivan revealed that he has once again enlisted the help of sports psychiatrist Steve Peters to help him change his thinking and approach to the game. The five-time world champion expressed his frustration with trying to figure things out on his own and acknowledged that he is at his best when he plays on instinct rather than overthinking his shots.

Meanwhile, snooker legend Stephen Hendry has noted a shift in O’Sullivan’s playing style, describing him as a “percentage player” who focuses on safety and taking what’s available rather than taking risks. Despite this change, Hendry emphasized that O’Sullivan’s ability to play strategically and capitalize on opportunities makes him just as dangerous on the table.

Despite his success in recent tournaments, O’Sullivan remains critical of his own performances, admitting that only a handful of matches this year have met his standards. With the World Snooker Championship on the horizon, fans will be watching closely to see if O’Sullivan can tap into his natural instincts and recapture the magic that has made him one of the greatest players in the sport’s history.
