Shane did well too. He’s still missing too many shots under pressure that those with E8B or snooker backgrounds who have been successful at C8B (Appleton, Melling, Hill, Potts, Selby, etc) would miss less often. There was one shot in, I think, the match against Zheng Yubo where Shane was on the black and hit it really softly (nervously) down the rail knowing that if it knuckled he was ok as Yubo’s last ball was on the rail at the other end of the table. The black went in but he could have hit it a bit harder and made the shot. He’s learning and he played just as well as everybody else in patches. As he gets more experience with shots that aren’t natural to a US8B player, I reckon he can become a real force in this game. He’s playing out of his comfort zone but, as has been discussed at length, when Shane is in his comfort zone he is incredibly tough to beat.

And reduce the frequent instances of tactical time-wasting cue ball cleaning. The time to clean a cue ball should not interrupt the player's shot clock time.
No doubt. How dirty can the ball be? Table looks SPOTLESS compared to some of the crap i've played on. They do waste too much time. They outta do it like snooker and play the semi's and finals in two sessions instead of this time-limited deal. Too many ways to "manage" the clock.
