I bet every single pro player is on AZ at least a couple of times a week. Most of them probably post under screen names. There's no way that pool can be your life & you don't stop by AZB.

You'd probably be wrong about that. Most pro's of just about any sport or activity generally stay far away from public forums.

Yeah, I imagine that the pro's rarely waste much time on the internet at all. They have much better things to do with their time. For example, I have seen Justin Bergman post a few times on here, but if you look in his profile, you will see that he has very rarely posted on here. I remember that CJ Wiley used to post on here, but I do not think he has posted in a long time. I get the feeling that when they do post on here, it is for a good reason (like when they are marketing a product for example, or telling about an upcoming event). So, yeah, they do not come on here to waste time (I do not think).

CJ stopped because he could no longer stand all the stupid pool cue threads.

They have already been sentenced to poking small balls around a little table for work.
Now you want them to read about it too?
What kind of sick world is this?

How do you think he learned to play? spent most of his time in the Ask the Instructor section.

Now please don't go getting "politically correct" on me with my answer.

My perspective on Shaw's learning.
He probably started from a very young age.
Probably was a nerdy-type (so was I) so used pool as a get-away. (Nothing wrong with that).

Here's the rub though...Shaw has a immense natural aptitude for this game.
His vision center is spot-on and can make balls effortlessly--kind of like R. Morris and Earl.

Shaw has simply played so much pool, that he has in his arsenal a habitual
setup that works superbly when making balls-that's nothing to say about the other aspects of his game.
That's why he can be such a fast shooter. Again, like Rodney and Earl.
 
I'll go with that, the technical side anyway.

The psyche side I saw a bit squishy.

Anybody aware of his beginnings?

He's playing great, and definitely working on fortifying his game, but, as it stands, I wonder how it will hold-up as time passes.

Is his style conducive to as long a career as a SVB's or Ko's?
 
Pool players only post when they need backing for entry into a tourney.

Last yr, they were trying to look good to make the MC team, so they posted to show their good side.

Most likely he came from the poor side of a town. Most pro players have the same basic story. Not much schooling means low paying, long hours jobs. They get good at pool quickly and see they can make more gambling. That works until the run out of fish and have to hit the road. Johnnyt
