Not how it looks - as already mentioned, it's the camera angle. Here is the same pocket from 3 different angles. (Apologies for displaying dirty, old, beat up equipment.)
If you’re still looking, I have a 12.4 with a black vault plate and a newer G2 medium tip. I believe it a 30”. Asking $350. Let me know and I can send video of it. Jason.
No matter how straight you shoot you need some knowledge of the break shot. It's not just luck to get a shot after the break 60 times in a row. Not saying those guys couldn't learn, but they're not going to just step up and run 1000 balls right away. (Filler maybe, I guess he practices w/a lot of straight pool.)
Speaking of, what about the first shot in that last rack? That's the only rack I watched, but I'm guessing it must have been one of the lowest % shots he had in the whole run. It looks like he contemplated the 3 in the side, but there's a big scratch off the 11 ball. Login to view embedded media. (3:46:26)
Yeah. I can’t believe he went for that combo instead of the cut in the side (or cross side bank). The camera angle must lie. Or maybe he thought the cut in the side was a dead scratch?
And then missed a hanger 10!
Ps I’m not criticizing someone who just ran 820! Just surprised as hell.

What should I do with a Broken Gus Szamboti? Picked this one up recently with 2 decent full-size shafts, and now I'm thinking of sending this one out to be rebuilt. The butt on this cue was slightly longer than 58" from what I can tell, and the cue was broken from the joint collar down. It looks like the butt is salvageable if you add a new dowel and then have a new collar and joint added. Getting a quote to have this one fixed up.
If there was a 1MM prize to beat 831 I’d pick Soufli over Shane/Gorst/Biado. His ability is a hair less. But his pace of play is Filler/Shaw/Schmidt speed. Plus he’s hungrier than the rest.
Melling too would be perfect, but he might be too far past his prime, idk. I’m not familiar with Arseni.
Basically anyone at 800 Fargo that shoots FAST I’d give the edge over Shane and Gorst. Especially if they are hungry.
mario has more experience, breaks better and is a better shotmaker imo, but MR finals are a thing of their own. mario has never been in one, moritz has. i think moritz will win, but rooting for mario
