Vafaei was 1-3 behind Trump but they ended at 4-4 for the session. He seems to be unawed by the #1.

WST.tv now has the matches up for watching quickly after the stream. I think they have improved quite a bit since they left DAZN.

sad...

but ive been shooting angles all my life so its natural for me

Could be because all of these were (are) so much better than just about anything on TV currently!

The amazing part to me was that they were a graduate student in a technical field. And then there was the student who was about to enter college in computer science and was unclear on what an angle was. Not a particular angle, but any angle, as in the opening between two crossing lines.

correct of course but any beginner needs to hit many shots before he can even get to hit close to where he is aiming.

it is a long process to get to just hit where you aim and then know where to hit. few if anyone ever i see work on getting their stroke straight so the cue ball goes where its supposed to.

as can be seen from not being able to make any long shots. as there your stroke that isn't straight magnifies by the distance how much you are off.

maybe just play enough to be able to look at the shot from anyplace and see where to hit the balls.

In the long run, I think that's how everyone who turns into a good player does it, especially when they use side spin, but sometimes beginners need a little help.

Sometimes a lot of help. I once was about 15 minutes into the basics of aiming, including ghost balls and a variety of cut shots, and the student piped up, as if just discovering the idea, "So, to make the ball go to the left, I have to hit it on the right?" There's lots of stuff that's obvious to most here that is a secret to many who have played only a little pool.

I hope the WPC moves back to Cardiff. I could go for that again.
