Neil Robertson has called on the World Snooker Tour to ban the Triangle chalk used by Ronnie O'Sullivan, saying all players hate it as it causes unpredictable cue-ball kicks and damages the table cloth. The dispute flared after O'Sullivan lost 13-12 to John Higgins at the World Championship. The WPBSA currently places no restrictions on chalk type.
