Congrats to Neils!

[Ak Guy]

Once again Neils proved he is a top tier 9 Baller, good for him, The other good thing is Shane waded through Appleton and Shaw. If he beat no one else I was hoping he would beat them.

Least I forget for any boxing fans. I think Canello recently tested positive for steroids, said he got it from eating Mexican beef. Maybe that explains why he grew prior to fighting Triple G ?

If so I hope they strip him of the tie from their last fight and the G Man says no to another fight. Me no like cheaters.

That would be a lot of streoid infused mexican beef
Canello must really like to eat

I’m starting to hate Feijen....:angry:
He’s a world champion nine baller
He looks like a male model
He’s got a family that loves him

The rest of the pool world is so deprived....:crying:

Great shooting, Neils

 

[Ak Guy]

Darn Feijen

He beats Shane up and then is polite to him afterwards. No throwing his cue down, no jumping on the table, no grabbing some other guys butt, not getting drunk and acting out. Is he really a pool player? A Euro pool player at that!

 

[LeonD123]

Anyone knows what type of table cloth they had at the Masters ?

 

[MatchroomPool]

It was Simonis 860.

 

[Cardigan Kid]

It was Simonis 860.

What was the reason it played like cloth from 1962?

Too much $$$$$ on the line. That fight's happening.

Very good points, sir?
The terminator is a model pool player in all areas.

Watching those old Bert Kinister videos with young Niels going over a drill in Bert's basement for an hour until he got it right was inspiring.

Now the guy is missing for months with an elbow injury, comes back and takes down the masters.

Pretty amazing. Congratulations to Niels.

I am bit confused why so often people call Niels "a great 9baller". Surely he is one but using the term "9baller" kinda makes you assume that 9ball is Niels's main discipline - which is not true, his top discipline is and always was 14.1 which makes Niels a very versatile player. I know that you mean it in a good way but I would simply call Niels "a great pool player"

I remember those Kinister tapes of Niels practicing those difficult drills. It seems to have paid off well for him.

I don’t get why some American Pros don’t see any value in that type of practice, preferring only to play games.

The Europeans have taken that drill work ethic to another level. They have an app for it that's quite remarkable...checkbilliard app.

kinister marveled at what Johan had his guys doing in the Hauge. If only American pool players would develop in that same environment. Shane did in his own way and his career accomplishments prove that it works.

Looks like they got into drinking a bit also....

Ha! Wasnt that at the end of the video after Niels accomplished the drill? They were both drunk on success.
Great photo.

 

[Ak Guy]

No like drills!

I find drills very boring and my pool skills prove it. If I have a shot I struggle with I will shoot it over and over some times, is that a drill? I struggle with lots of shots!

What drills does Efren give credit to for his success, rotation?

I still view Neils as a great 9 Baller. Has his 14.1 play equaled his 9 Ball play?

I do think Biado, Big Ko, Chang and Albin should of been invited before some others were.

They have the titles to prove they are "Masters"!

A hard and well earned victory indeed! Congrats to Neils. Playing so well after a long layoff was spectacular.

You forgot to mention that he's nearly blind in one eye and a third blind in the other. He's an inspiration.

 

[hotelyorba]

That's not correct, he has 30% vision in one eye and perfect vision in the other one, which he lines up over the cue when sighting his shots. I mean, he's a damn great player and all, but let's not exaggerate things here.

Vision in his right eye is fine, left eye is 5%.

 

[marek]

Yup, I heard it similar, perfect vision in right eye, 10% in the left which makes that eye basically useless (doesnt matter if it is 5% or 10%). Niels is a true inspiration when it comes overcoming obstacles :thumbup:
