This format suits Shaw. He can throw a strop and lose a set but still reset. It’s similar to moscono where he excels

good point

Just my personal opinion, I've had my table recovered three times with Tournament Blue and I'm thinking about going back to traditional green. Nothing wrong with the blue but I played on the green for many years of my life and I'm just missing it. Maybe I'm just getting nostalgic in my old age.

Heard of Gracie cues, but not 80's, maybe late 90's early 2000

He came through Tallahassee when I was in college and smoked everyone. There was a pits on the golf team that hung out in the pool hall thinking he was a player and George destroyed him. Beat him out of all the money his parents gave him for that month and his shoes and cue. I loved it! A few weeks later I went home to Clearwater and George showed up at my room and tried to match up with Bubba for some big sets, but it never happened. I think I heard he owns an outdoor furniture business now.

Even if he won this event, it would be unlike Matchroom to count a World 10 ball championship as a Mosconi Cup credential. Szewczyk was not selected for Team Europe in the year in which he won the World 10ball.

Nonetheless, Shaw has a chance to write a great story this week in Saigon, and what a story it could be. Wish him the best.

I would be very surprised if Shaw wasn’t a wild card pick. Both because he is great in Mosconi and also because he is the showman they need for it

Maybe losing to DQH in that long race woke up Shaw. Beating Shane late in a major seems like the best result he had in a while.
