thats what they do. if you dont like how a business is run dont partake in it.

anytime you bring any interaction you have with a business to social media you are going to get banned if it isnt positive for them.
and rightly so.

some businesses that have many customers are not interested in answering questions, that's how it is, and since you threatened legal action for them not answering you, you are definitely not the kind of customer they want.

I understand what you are saying completely. Just one note, I never until now have brought any of this to any social platform. Furthermore, any business that feels it is not obligated to put customers concerns as a priority is destined to fail. That’s how it is.

I wouldn't necessarily say she is more sloppy with speed and ball placement on defense than on offense. I just think those traits matter less on offense. If she gets out of line a bit on offense, she is talented enough to still drill the shot. If she rolls an extra few inches on defense, then there is no hook and at this level that is often fatal.

I think the general frustrations with Chezka's game in this thread overlook that it might be that the only reason she can be so carefree and effortless on offense is because she isn't as deliberate and calculating, which is generally what is needed for defense. Like that saying, "think long, think wrong," any gains she might have on the tactical side might also detract from her fluid and refined offense, by causing her to overthink and get out of her rhythm.

Chezka reminds me of a young Ronnie O’Sullivan in snooker. Massively talented, played very fast, made everything. And lost whenever he didn’t have his A game. Poor safety and bad mental game.

His father hooked him up with a former champion Ray Reardon who was renowned for his safety and strategy. It changed his game and Ronnie became the best to ever do it.

Here is an interview from Ronnie about that.

He’s said in other interviews that he used to think about safety as boring, but Ray showed him it was a game itself - how to get the best safety.

Living in the country with the best safety players in the world, I’m sure she could find someone to coach her up, but I have to assume she just doesn’t want to.

I don't really buy that. Filler is a great example. He generally plays what can look like fast and loose, but spends an extra 5-10 seconds on shots when they deserve the attention.

I agree with your point but Filler is literally the best player in the world and he doesn't shoot as quickly as Centeno even though he plays with a nice tempo.

I agree, but I wonder if there's some sort "not respecting your opponent" element there.

Last time she beat Seoa 3-0 playing her game, this time the opposite outcome happened.

Allison Fisher - Parkinson’s disease - retiring from professional competition

OverTheNut
Best wishes to Allison Fisher. Raised the female game to a different level.

Diagnosed with Parkinson's. Horrible thing for anyone to get.

EDIT: This was her statement on her Facebook page ( https://www.facebook.com/AFathlete )

I have some deeply personal news that I’m now ready to share.
Last year, I was diagnosed with the early stages of Parkinson’s disease.
I chose to keep my diagnosis private for a while because I needed time to process what it meant for me, my life and, of course, my career.
Cue sports have been such an enormous part of my life. I’ve been incredibly fortunate to play the game I love at the highest level for so many years, travel the world, compete against amazing players and make friendships that will last a lifetime.
As Parkinson’s has begun to affect the precision I need to compete at the highest level, I have made the very difficult decision to retire from professional competition.
This may be the end of one chapter, but it is certainly not the end of my journey in cue sports.
I still love this game as much as I ever have, and I plan to remain very much a part of it — through teaching, commentary, Legends of the Cue, appearances and other projects that I look forward to sharing with you.
You can read more about my diagnosis and my decision in the latest issue of Billiards Digest and hear more from me on Legends of the Cue.
Most importantly, I want to thank everyone who has supported me throughout my career. The messages, friendships, memories and encouragement have meant more to me than you may ever know.
There is still much more ahead.
❤️

Allison

Maybe I confuse myself, sjm, but I am pretty sure this is what I meant.

Centeno has all the "skills" and intelligence necessary, imo, to do the things she fails to do, as you described.

For whatever reason, she choses not to, or choses not to work on these glaring areas of weakness. Her mental game is quite deficient.

Even when she playe defense, she is more sloppy with speed and ball placement than she is when playing offense.

Centeno has to smart enough to recognize this. I have to believe Amit has told her as much
