I like the way he hits the balls with AUTHORITY.
He ain't pitty-patting the balls around.
He fires them in and kills the cue ball instead of babying the balls.
You got that part right.
And Raga is an 815 Fargorate.
Is there a link for the next match yet?
If so, can somebody please post it?

Yes. Zheng was just warming up for the finals, and the cueball hit the edge of the template and veered left!
Zheng is one of the straightest shooters I've seen recently.
He makes some errors, but he can fire some balls in from all over the table.

Zheng is really fun to watch. Two times the opponent have pushed out to a shot with the cue ball on the short rail and the object ball around the spot. Zheng just jacks up and fire them in with three rail position. His opponent was actually shaking his head and smiling after the last one.
Also interesting to see how they solve random racking. They collect the balls and put them in one row at the short rail. Then they rack them from outside and in - ofcourse with 1 and 10 on their spots. So if 4 and 7 are on the end of the line, they will be racked behind the 1. The last 4 balls in the middle along the rail will end up - in the order they lay - as the last row in the rack. Ofcourse, if you are a bit crafty, you can manipulate here also, but its harder. Nice to see another end game for the 8,9 and 19 ball, and not always havng 2 and 3 in the corners
If you dont understand my explanation, watch the racking :smile: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aHGHYm1pTM

I liked that, too.
They pushed out on the rail, hoping to leave him a 50-yarder scratch shot and he slammed those balls into the center of the pocket and controlled the cue ball.
I like his style. He don't mess around.
Zheng takes it down.
Out of all the players I've watched in tournaments lately, he has been the most enjoyable to watch.
He don't mess around and he gets the job done.
I like his style of "power play". He muscles the balls and makes them "pop".
He is a straight shooter and stays in line most of the time. When he gets out of line, he is a shot maker and works his way back into position. If he doesn't have an angle or isn't close to the rail, he isn't afraid to fire the ball at warp speed and "force" the cue ball to move.

If he ever learns when and how to play safe, watch out world.
I agree.
He ain't much for playing safe.
He doesn't need to.
He makes every ball on the table from every angle.
His cue ball control is amazing for as hard as he is hitting the cue ball. He has the 'dead ball" game down...he knows how to stun and kill the cue ball, even on sharp angles.
That miscue might seal the deal

Han Yu is a killer. She played the most flawless set I saw all week earlier today.
