Uh, you were the first one to mention my name.
Maybe put me on your Ignore List, and we can both enjoy the forum much better.
Hmmmmm......
Jay is still upset that most love Alex, and think Dennis O is a dick.
Karma is a M'F'er!

To me, it looks like he tried to "shovel" or "push" the cue ball instead of stroking it. If you look at his wrist when he releases his stroke, he twists it a bit and it looks like he is trying to push the ball with inside English. Maybe he "pushed" the tip off the cue ball a bit instead of going "through it", which pushed it offline.
Watch the video at about the 45 second mark. You will see his shoulder move and he twists the shot with his wrist. Sort of like he is putting some BHE on the ball and he doesn't follow through.

Does anybody know what the odds were on Alcaide vs Shaw? Perhaps his had something to do with Alex miss?

So he waited for the last ball to dog it?
Efren threw a 9 ball once in a major tournament.....and what better way to guarantee an outcome then missing the last ball?
Happen's more than you think Shane dogged a ball against Appleton to let him win in the TOC. And both Shane and Albin dogged a couple shots the next yr where Shane won

And you are an idiot!!
I only read bits and pieces of the thread, but everyone seems to be saying the shot was a hanger. That type of shot is NOT easy. I know a pro should make it, but its definitly not a 99% shot for any pro like some of you are saying. IMO, I think a pro like Alex might make that shot 93/100, and an A player might make it 85/100. I'd probalby make it 50/100. ha ha.
Hmmm...I think I would have to disagree with the idea that a player of Alex's caliber is only 93% to make that shot. The cueball is not on the cushion, he has plenty of room to bridge comfortably, there is a little bit of angle on the shot, but not much. I know these are just estimates, but I'd have to say that on average Alex won't miss that particular shot more than three times out of a hundred.
What is it about the shot that you think means a world champion like Alex will miss it on average seven times out of a hundred?
I think it's the shot clock got him....some shots Alex likes to reset.
Now that combined with the pressure of the moment could definitely affect his make percentage. You could tell by his hesitation on the 8 ball, and getting back up and down to shoot it, that he clearly wasn't comfortable at the table.
