Shane/Yapp

I think Shane has reached a point in his career where he could (and maybe sort of wants to) retire and live out the rest of his life on the lake as a pool legend, but he's also still playing elite pool right now. So while he doesn't necessarily feel like he has to win anymore, every win that he does notch is like playing with house money in terms of building his legacy. Which makes him very, very dangerous for the other pros on tour. He's probably feeling the least amount of pressure he has ever felt right now, and I think a lot of that came from himself realizing that he could hang it up at any moment and go out on top.

yea that's true. now with two WC's to his already illustrious career, he may be more dangerous than ever
 
It ain't chess. I ain't buying the thinking 8 shots ahead thing from anyone. I'd give someone 3 or 4, maybe. Any more than that and you're wasting metal energy because you can't accurately predict what your opponent is going to do or exactly how the pack is going to lay after every hit.
When you can scratch 3 times, get a rerack/rebreak, who do you think voted that rule?
Life and getting by.
The better players, they always had food on the table.
I know Efren thinks more than 3 shots ahead.
 
Yep. Shane is taking his victory lap after one of the greatest 15+ year stretches of professional pool in the game's history.

if the eyesight and physical prerequisites are there, keep going... shane said after the european open how he looked forward to going to a new country (vietnam), didn't sound wore out at all. he also mentioned how many countries he's been to in his pool career, it was a crazy amount
