JACK LISOWSKI has revealed his snooker "gap year" has helped him rediscover his passion for the sport.
The 32-year-old, nicknamed Jackpot, fell out of love with the game as he struggled with burnout earlier this season.
But potting playboy Lisowski has been living it large with regular holidays to Dubai - partying and jumping out of planes.
"I have been in Dubai for months," said the world No.17 (right).
"My results fell off but so what? I have probably got another 20odd years of this. I figured I could not keep playing nonstop snooker. I haven't really cared about the game for the last few months. I didn't want to speak to anyone about snooker. I didn't really care. That's just how it has been. It's life. It's ups and downs.
