Looks to me like Shane is just not playing quite as well these days. Maybe a little ring rust and the fact he's tangling with guys (like T-Rex) who have been playing a lot (especially One Pocket) lately. Shane at his best is still a match for any of them, Dennis included. I wouldn't be so quick to judge Shane Van Boening. He is a once in a lifetime player who still has many big wins in front of him.
Right now his problems are more about his mental frame of mind than about anything physical. That is not to say there is anything wrong with him mentally, just that he doesn't seem to be totally embracing where he's at with pool at the moment. My prediction is he will be fine and he will book a lot more wins. Who else but Shane will travel the world to face the best in the game and still pony up the cash and play the top dogs at their game (only Dennis O. last time I looked). Like I said, he is truly one of a kind.
One more thing, take a good look at how he handles himself in defeat as well as in victory. That is the mark of a man. More than just another pool player, Shane is someone who people can and should respect. I put Shane and Dennis in a category of two! Alex would be number three but I don't see him traveling as much anymore.
