I enjoyed watching her play with Shane, even if they didn't play real well this tournament. I'm not sure it rises to the level of "mansplaining", but I do think there was too much of Shane telling her the shot to play. There were multiple times on a 30-second shot clock where it felt more like Shane's shot, where he'd take 20 seconds, even getting down on the ball, and tell Savannah with 10 seconds left what shot to take.

Perfect way to describe it. Noticed this when they played in Las Vegas this year. Thought he left too little of the short shot clock for her on several occasions

Simple but very nice looking cue.

And here is Efren playing Earl in the Maine Event. Notice how Efren does a powerful, manly, opening break shot. Actually, it's one of the best opening breaks I've seen at 14.1 -- at 1:35.

Can you find which match when he stepped up and popped in a near table length combo with the object balls maximally equidistant from the pocket & each other, as casually as if he was pocketing a hanger? I was sitting only a few feet away, and my jaw dropped!

No need to stay up. I don’t. I wake up and watch. Don’t look at AZB or Facebook. The events are ready to go and you can skip through whatever you want. I know you know this. Just beats staying up till the wee hours.

Also got to be careful to kill/minimize the comments column on the right so no one gives it away.

Yeah, I rarely matches on replay. Tomorrow morning, I'll check out the Women's quarterfinals live.

Why cheat? Does it make you feel better knowing you've done it?

Simple,
I have a regular game with a guy who is to my estimate, a 725-750 rated player surmised by comparing his game to other players I have games with, that have a legit rating. His on the book rating is 596. He plays in a league 1 night a week and dumps, plays in cheap entry local tournaments and dumps, all to keep that rating below 600.

He travels regularly out of town to play in capped tournaments all over, Vegas, Alabama, just got back from Canada yesterday, played me today, and is flying out tomorrow to Indiana. There’s a whole group of people that do it, constantly staring at each other at the same capped tournaments all over. He told me today it’s gotten to where they play each other in action in off hours at the events. It’s the new hustle, he does quite well.

Yes, I get that - wondering if the percentage of natural roll also determines (creates) the angle of rotation. Seems to me that it might (not that it's anything more than an interesting question).

Oh, now I think I understand your question. It wouldn’t immediately but the evolution of the flattening of the axis of rotation might be affected.
