Its brutal i agree. Tried to watch a couple of his matches and had to turn it off. Matchroom said they were looking into using a shot-clock but apparently they look for clocks as leisurely as Kaci plays.Please. Or would pretty please do it?
:yes:Shot clock should be mandatory in every tourney
:yes:
For sure.
(even though as it is until a shot clock is on.....it's none of a railbird's business how long the guy in action takes to shoot.)
railbirds/spectators bring money into the sport, players who play slow drive away spectators, and thus hurt the sport overall imo
If a player is in action its nobody's business except him and his opponent.
But if its a tournament with spectators its differrent.

Especially when there's people trying to promote the sport its frustrating for them.
Its also tough on people that draw him that get frustrated having to sit there and wait forever to get back to the table.
I remember Ken Shuman was commentating a Jason Klatt match on Accu-stats.
he was getting so annoyed he went out and started arguing with Klatt about his slow play.
Klatt argued that it wasnt his business or Accu-stats business how he plays. Hes got a point but I think it doesnt just hurt Accu-stats but spectators in general.
I personally found Kaci slower than Klatt. unbearable and yes unwatchable.
In one match his opponent made a statement by putting his coat on while it took Kaci 6 minutes to run 8 open balls

Is it just me, or has he gotten slower?!

Could you imagine a race to 11 with him and Mike Wong.....?
They would need a Lunch,Dinner,and Breakfast break.......:boring2::boring2::boring2:

I think he'll eventually speed up some as he gets more criticism and more experience. I remember when Sergio Garcia was struggling with his preshot routine on the pro golf tour - regripping his hands for what seemed like a minute or more before every shot. He eventually worked through it, after mounting criticism.Please. Or would pretty please do it?

I think people's attention spans are shrinking more and more. It's to the point that a short paragraph in a message gets a comment like "I can't read that novel". It's sad. Anyone saying that he is unwatchable, and should somehow change his game, should really take a look within themselves and change *their* game, mentally. Impatience correlates closely with selfishness, and that too is strongly on the rise. In my book, at the end of the day, a guy playing pool slowly is nowhere near as bad as the whole selfish fidgeting impatience breeding across the country.
People crying over their own lack of maturity and self control that they likely have contempt for in others who have it is a bigger detriment to games like pool than slow play. There are far more self absorbed dim people in the game than slow players.
That said, a shot clock is a reasonable solution.
Kaci seemed to do ok at the US Open.
