Plain and simple, not what you want to hear from your captain.I really feel like Sky, more than anyone, is just going through the motions without an inner drive to win. He had a comment in the press conference along the lines of "Ally Pally was a blast last time. We'll have fun no matter what happens". That really felt like him conceding victory before it even started. Hard to imagine Shaw or Filler thinking like that. Oh well.
Always get a Harlem Globetrotters vibe with this event. Surely Filler will dump a bucket of confetti on Sky or Tyler at any moment...
on the rail a tad bit off angle. not the shot I want to get the 4 dogged money ball shots out of my mind...on the hill no doubt. So happy he got it in!He was very nervous on that nine ball and relieved when it went in.
From the looks if it, they'll never lose.They lose money on every sale but they make it up in volume.
He was very nervous on that nine ball and relieved when it went in.Phew if he didn’t get out there…
Also I believe Bob Jewett pointed out a billiards player did this to prevent anyone accusing said player of using the chalk to measure kick shots.the UK commentator said he spoke to Moritz about it, and apparently he does it as part of his pre-shot routine once he's sure of the shot he wants to play. Thinks it helps him focus
While likely nobody on this board commenting can truly question the pool skills...I have to agree with this 100%. Even in league pool, I've seen so many examples of this to come to the conclusion that unless it is so unbearably bad...you just don't come to the table to coach unless asked. When you have someone that is a 550 or above...the player knows what to do or what their tendency is. When we are talking about world beaters...good god...only bother them with coaching when they ask. Team USA is embarrassing us at pretty much every facet of the game.I feel like SVB wasted half Sky's time there trying to give advice and they didn't have an extension and it made him rush, miss and ultimately cost USA the point.
There was a point Jayson was coaching Lebubu that it felt counter productive too. Sometimes you just need to let your teammate shoot.
WTF. The 6 did not pass the 9. And he hit too soft, leaving the ball over the pocket. Terrible all around. Sky messed up both matches vs Alcaide in the team game.
There was one 9 Ball break yesterday. Forget which match.1) has there been any 9 ball break?
2) there has been a shot where the cue ball dropped dead after bouncing on the rail. Day 2 I think. Anyone recall the shot? The cue ball jumped on the rail and efffectively dropped dead next to it. Never seen it before.

Thinks it helps him focusAnybody catch the commentary on Moritz today where they point out he put his chalk directly on a diamond on the rail each shot?
That's some OCD....
