- Thread starter spartan
- Start date
Darren Appleton did a fb post about this. Says he just didn’t hit it hard enough should have punched it and taken what the 7 gave him but that it was absolutely the correct shot
win or not, raga's result will inspire more filipinos to play in these events. just imagine their top 10 going and what damage they can do..
don't think so. but there are some social media content about it, including biado showing the shot:

Precisely that safety is what I thought of as well, in the hours after

the kiss shot would be the choice of most players, including carlo. mark probed him to show a safety option
Darn right. Very few would play safe in that position.
What a lot of pool to watch this weekend! (and I still got to play in a local 9ball tourney)
Anyway, couple of thoughts:
- Phil Yates spent way too much time talking up Filler. It was almost embarrassing. He does it to SVB as well. Their accomplishments and play speaks for themselves. I understand it was in germany, but just seemed a little too fanboy-ish for my tastes. Then as soon as he lost he was not mentioned again.
-The US had 3 folks in the final 32. Except for Germany, that was as much as any other country. Not too shabby, and great tourney for Styer and Lombardo.
- Maybe someone else can chime in, but how is our pipeline talent? I remember seeing an interview with Jayson Shaw of all people and he commented that the future of US pool is bright, and mentioned a couple of kids that play out of his room.
-At one point Karl mentioned that Styer doesn't work on his game and practice as much as Shane and Skylar. Not sure why, Styer always struck me as someone who would put in tons of table time.

Tyler probably can't physically handle the practice time because he's too mechanical. It would be exhausting practicing the way he plays. If he just worked on his rhythm alone, I think he would get better.
Of course that's just my opinion.

At least he doesn’t adjust his junk before every shot

I’ve read Carlo needs weight when he plays Anton

here's a sped up video of ragas BNR battering of big ko:
I think JJ was so surprised that he actually thought that that was what Shane was trying to do. I thought the same thing before JJ said it
Kind of interesting but unwatchable. I wish they had "just" edited out the dead time.
Better yet, imagine a WCOP paring of Raga and Chua. They would be tough to beat.
Here is a link to the match in regular speed, uploaded to Matchroom Pool's YouTube channel. It looks like it was filmed by someone in the crowd:
