What a show. Beastly.

Just sign up for a basic FB account...takes 10 minutes. Friend the challenge site and you are set.
Just because others and you if you choose to can load mountains of stuff on FB it does not mean you HAVE TOO. Spend a few minutes tweaking settings and you can be mostly hidden from the BS. If anyone random sends a message or a friend request just ignore it or delete it. There is an amazing amount of pool stuff on FB AND IG. You are missing out.
Is he going to keep trying? Best # is 508?
I think he is done for this go around but will probably be back again later in the year.
And yes, 508.

At 5:10:09 -- seconds before the miss that ended the 508, Jayson made exactly the right instinctive decision: he shot the 8-ball with near-perfect english hoping to strike the 10-ball, bumping it loose and away from its problematic location (glued to the rail and much too close to the side pocket). Unfortunately the CB's path was a few inches short of hitting the 10-ball. Any pro would have wanted to address that 10-ball problem at the first opportunity. Jayson commendably did so, IMO.
Arnaldo ~ I could be wrong about Jayson's intention, but we'll soon hear more. I'd love to see Ruslan Chinakhov be given a chance or be desirous of surpassing the record. His rack-navigation patterns are quite close to old-school -- conservative, cautious and peerlessly fluid and steady. Beautiful to watch in its own way. As is the play of all world-class 14.1 champions for me.

That's what I thought. Then people from the past started sending friend requests, people I never really even liked back then. Then they mysteriously had my birthday. Then my high school, college and work. Then pictures of me started showing up. I left the account up to see how much they could collect about me. It was a ton, and all passive.
Facebook makes smart people stupid.
from memory: the high middle of table ball could've caromed off the tit ball, i think. he should have cut the 11 and got position for this.
That is surprising... other than a few requests from people I knew already and some random ad spam I did not have issues like that. I left every info line I could blank too however. Later I did make the page more personalized but even that has not created a bunch of issues. A few random hot "girls" that want to be my friend have came along but they are mostly bots lol.
Carry on as you wish.
509 and done this time. A great number, live and also on the FB to re-watch later. Awesome!
The parts I saw this week were a pretty good watch.

Yes, it’s surprising.
You have opt out of a ton of stuff when you sign up and that’s it. Just ignore any requests.

His CB control was pretty amazing.
He wanted to go a couple more days but, as any smart married man would do, he chose the path of discretion and headed home.

fair to say he's mastered exhibition straight pool at a level far beyond anybody else
its unreal to me that a guy can 'decide' to run a heap of balls on a whim and put up 500
when will this man finally begin to dominate 9/10 ball?

Many years ago I had an idea for an app to tie into all social media. It was called, 'effoff'. Basically it would have sent an automatic denial of any friend request.
Didn't ever develop it for two reasons. First I didn't want to learn the language. Second, it would only be useful for curmudgeons.
Yes. The aggressive ones are easily blocked on FB or IG..
A simple test for a bot or possible scammer that gives them away instanly..they friend you...or follow you and have have minimum stuff on the page. It was created within a day or two, maybe hours ago even. The start with messages almost instanly..where are you from?, can you show me your pictures?. "Ummmmmm you followed me..it is ON the profile" lol- outted.
The women that seem legit are usually pimping their web cam sites or only fans content. Men are doing the same or wanting to help you get "rich" like them. Bit coin-- a very hot scam area now.
He's a magnificent player who has had a stellar career, but the answer might well be never.
That's not because Jayson's anything short of being a superstar, but because the quality of the fields he faces and will continue to face means that nothing will come easy. With the return of Gorst upon us and the return of the most elite Asians looming down the road, the fields in the most prestigious Matchroom non-team nine ball events (Premier League Pool, World Pool Masters, World Pool Championship, UK Open, European Open, US Open 9-ball) will be very hard to beat. Gorst and Filler may be the most successful in tournament play in the near future, but I doubt either of them will dominate the sport. No doubt, Shaw will often be in the mix in the later rounds of the most prestigious nine-ball events and will win some more titles.
I have no comment on 10-ball, which remains a fringe game as far as pro competition is concerned. Outside of the World 10-ball championship, 10-ball isn't delivering the kind of elite fields found in the nine ball events. I really don't care one way or the other who, if anybody, will dominate ten-ball.
It's not clear why one would expect success in exhibition straight pool to translate to dominance in competitive nine ball. Even at straight pool, lest we forget, it was Filler and Gorst who came first and second at the 2021 American 14.1 Championship. Competitive straight pool tells you more about a player's pedigree than exhibition straight pool.
All that said, I'd love to see Jayson dominate.

I don't think he does.
The skill required to manhandle an opponent in a rotation tourney is far less than that required to run 14.1 like he does.
pont being, lots of guys can run 9b racks but not a lot can run 200+...and even fewer can go 500+.
