During Earl's last match, he jacked up and missed, prompting one of the commentators to say something to the effect that that becomes harder as your shoulder ages. Sure enough, Earl subsequently missed two more shots from that position. I noticed that a couple of Shane's rare misses in his latest match were also jacked up shots. Yapp, on the hand, was consistent right across the board and played like a monster against Oi. I'd love to see Shane win it, but I expect Yapp to take it if he can keep up his current pace.

My game had fallen off the last several years. I found out that my left shoulder (I'm left handed) couldn't rotate because of a massive bone spur and arthritis. I've always had a high tolerance for pain and just ignored it. I just had reverse shoulder replacement surgery and we'll see if my game comes back.

After you win a game a pool...

Barry Sanders, hall of fame NFL running backs - 109 touchdowns, never spiked the ball even once, never one end-zone dance. He treated the end zone like he’d been there before and like he knew he’d be back… Nothing but a thing. That’s how I see winners. Same with pool - a player who expects to win doesn’t need to make a scene. He just gets there, handles business, and moves on to the next match or tournament.

I never mind the woofing before a match but at the end win with class and lose with class.

Sure, he could win a big one again, and he is young enough to think he will do it once or twice. But he hasn’t gotten to the semis of a major MR tournament since he won the WPC in February 2023. Two and a half years ago.

Which is why I don’t expect FSR to be a top favorite anymore. The magic has not returned.

Outside of Filler and Gorst, I am not sure how to pick a top favorite in these fields anymore.

Any given Sunday……

That’s crazy talk. FSR will win again. He was on top of the world for awhile and had no where to go but down. The competition is deeper than ever. It’s just that hard to win.

Experiments in looking at the cueball while delivering the stroke.

If you have looked at and analyed the shot and angle before getting down, have lined up properly, and have good, repeatable fundamentals and a straight stroke, it shouldn't matter much what you look at last.

Mark Williams has at times proved your point by looking away or even eyes closed.
Well the first shot is object ball last. 🤷‍♂️
