I think Shane wanted to play a shot, but Fedor wanted the push out.

It backfired.

I don't like them on the same team

The World number 1 back at his best. The camera coverage makes for a huge part of the lesson. The World Class comments make for a cheap lesson is my point.

I found one, thanks

Bump.

these short sets are made for tv/stream viewing. its a crapshoot.

That’s like saying a finals is 13 races to 1 so it’s a crap shoot because races to 1 are a crap shoot. It’s the totality that shows the edge. Europe has not won 15 of 18 years on a coin flip.

Well wst.tv is what I am promoting. My affiliation er uh enjoyment of their product doesn't go back nearly that far.

I have a Korean friend who came to USA with a becue shaft for his cue.
Must not be that niche....?

I don't see them very often, so they might be popular in Italy, but there's so much else to choose from, so Becue doesn't seem to have a particular big market share.
When you look at the pictures that show some of the production facilities it's more basic than you might think. I have spotted a Cuesmith type lathe and a fairly cheap Chinese metal lathe, no idea what other equipment they have. But it's probably a much smaller outfit than you might think.

Filler is just unfair at the Mosconi Cup. Relentless. 0 dog in him.

I see his shot-making and I think to myself "you's ah scared ovim"

His confidence is so extreme that I can only assume he broke and ran a rack of 9 ball the first time he ever picked up a cue.

Well, Nathan Wallace is a very strong player (731 fargo) and Oscar is obviously a pro. Are you claiming they are delusional?

Ability to pocket balls does not mean the science is understood.

New cloth is slippery and plays differently as it ages. Known fact.

i can see with slick cloth the cb 'might' squirt a tiny bit more but not enough to worry about.

Didnt expect Alcaide to be the weak link. Doing his best to keep the event competitive.

yes but david has a great temperament, he won't dwell on it

9b race to five on super slick cloth IS a crapshoot. it makes for good viewing i get it. when a major championship event decides the winner playing these ultra-short sets get back to me.

So you think a race to 13 is long enough to determine a winner but races to 5, first to 11 sets is too short? lol. A small advantage multiplies exponentially each set you play, same as games in a long race.

Let him play everyone one on one. For doubles he will play left handed. Rest of the team just cheers him on.

I actually support this
