Did Shane roll the 9 with high ball? I think normally he would have played it with low outside firm, or middle outside rolled.

He getting old. Earl's commentary is full of 'when I was younger I would bang that in with draw, now I just roll it'.

 

[JolietJames]

I'm going to get hammered drinking every time they say purple five ball.


Oh, a matchroom favorite, 9ball break. They would love to see 50 of them during the cup.

Albin breaks in the nine

 

[WobblyStroke]

FSR not handling the new cue well thus far. It was delivered to him a couple days ago by Rassoon he said during the press conference.

Really? I hope it has same specs as his old one or he is set up for disaster. Takes some time to get to know your dance partner.

wolford looks a little like a young max eberle

Albin breaks in the nine

I dont understand players at this level, in this event, with races only to 5, being able to win a game with a 9 ball on the break.

Even in our weekly tournament the 9-ball is spotted and the player is rewarded with ball-in-hand, which should be good enough for players at this level.

Wolford rolls in a tough five, cuts a nice six and then misses a much easier seven. Alcaide banks the seven and gets out. 3-2 E

He switched from his whole career of Predator shafts, to Cuetec, yesterday.

Wolford made some fantastic shots but could never get in line and his luck finally ran out 2-3 Euros

 

[iusedtoberich]

Wolford shot the cleanest by far. Super tough cut shots one after another, and didn't even brush the rail on the way in. Looked like the way Orcollo makes shots. Then he missed a much easier, standard shot.

I think the cloth squirting more is messing with all their aim.

 

[nmh2008]

Shaw misses a ball he should make 95% of the time and gets bailed out on the leave. Must be mosconi cup time!

Damn. I gotta find FSR match odds and just fade the hell out of him in all of em. Brutal timing.

 

[jay helfert]

Jayson rattles the pocket on the opening two ball. Nerves, nerves and more nerves so far today.

Ye but 9b break is pure excitement. Besides, BiH for these guys would be 90% runout anyway. I like the short races. More of a coinflip gamble. Gives the weaker team a decent shot in mismatched years.

Omg, Shane dogs another hanger!

 

[JolietJames]

JFC, did Frost bring his cue with him?
SVB single handedly turned 4-2 into 2-4.

 

[Taxi]

This is just embarrassing.

Omg, Shane dogs another hanger!

Our team leader has cost us 2 games and likely the match - not a good omen.
