Good enough to win Turning Stone, not quite good enough to beat Shane.
Thanks

He beat him like a drum yesterday. Shaws break was like a cannon and he closed that set like he was godzilla.

In the race to 100 a roll here or there and it would be a different story. Kid won 60 games to 50 on day 2. If they hadn't taken the dinner break 75 to 74 SVB, I believe Shane was done. He looked bad then. Obviously regrouped to get the win like a champ. Still the champ like Mika tonight looked very human.
 
Great player. Not perfect by any means, but his straight stroke and shot making ability gets him out of jams when his patterns aren't spot on. Also, and this is just what I've heard, his safety game is a little weak. But when you shoot as straight as he does, why even bother playing safe. amirite

What's scary is that he hasn't even been playing American pool games as long as pretty much everyone he beat this weekend. Lots of potential for this guy.

I think you hit it perfect. Shaw beat him like a drum yesterday and also the race to 100 a few rolls and shaw wins. But shane is still the better player , shaw aint to far behind though.

In SVB match day 2 he lost 4 games he should have won with loose safety play. Those 4 games would make him the winner and stopped some SVB runouts.
I mean safes where he had a fairly routine lock safe and played an ok one. SVB would hit it and get the upper hand intentionally or with a roll and get out. Shaw missed safes I could play. He shot those safes too quickly and didnt play safe against back of object ball to cut off access to rails.

In no particular order... Carlo Dennis warren ko's, both changs, toasty, daz, Niels, Ralf...Shane, mike, mika... (Im sure im leaving a few other top players out)And shaw is top five? Not even close.....top15 in my opinion....safety play and jumping with position is much much better by pinoys and Taiwanese than turning stone field...
 
I didn't think he played as well as his fans claimed a year ago.

Now? He may well be the real deal.

Next year? If he shows similar gains in the next 12 mos., he's a gonna be doing a lot of win.

Ok maybe not top 5 but top 10. Damn the kid plays great lets just say that. Lol
 
he does play great, he knows he needs to keep focused to beat a world beater but has fire power = to anyone. his kicking was like efren today he made balls and kicked safe very well, he should have won the US open last year but lost focus

this year I think he will do well again

Agree
He is awesome shotmaker but weak in safety game but makes the difference in high level play .
He is queuing up outside the World Top 15 lounge if you exclude many lesser known pinoy and Taiwanese killers you never heard of. Oh and not to forget potential migrants from English 8 ball like Gareth Potts
With the very high level of talent these days from all over the world , any one in World Top 50 can beat each other in tourney

Yup he has raw talent and once he gets his game in order as far as how he acts and his saftey play , he will be just that much better all around and thats going to be a treat to watch.
 
Dechaine lost to him, but then again, Mike couldn't rack his own and manipulate the rack. Neither could he put his sharking moves on Shaw.
 
From the matches I've seen him play it seems that his two weaknesses are:

1) not taking safeties seriously. He shoots a safety with the same "loosness" that he pockets a ball. He can do that with pocket shots since he's such a good shotmaker that he can get out of position and recover. But in safeties you have to place the CB and the OB precisely; there's no "recovering" since you don't have the next shot.

2) he loses focus and doesn't keep his emotions in check. I've seen him give up a number of times and go out and one-stroke shots when he still had a fighting chance to get back in the game.

But the strong parts of his game are so strong that he'll win his share of tournaments even if he just continues playing at this level.

If you watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kt04RVXCx5o you will know that Jayson is already aware of his biggest strength and that is pocketing balls.

I think he is probably working on other parts of his game and it's good for him. He is also fun to watch because of his shot-making and that alone can be very intimidating to his opponent.

The only guy that in my opinion does it better than Jayson is Rodney, when he is loose and playing 3 rail 4 rails shape it looks like he is never going to miss.
