2025 USA National Pool Championships. Quincy, IL, July 6-12

Eston is getting more public attention and I think it’s hurting her game. Mast is a better player at this moment in my opinion.
I have to agree.

Mast is a very polished player and has excellent pattern and safety play. She's very stoic and you can't really tell what she's thinking. You see her in meaningful tournaments.

Easton is a fantastic shot maker and the better shot maker out of the two. Her safety play is good too. She's not as polished and she plays like a man. Meaning she takes gambles and will go for high risk shots and this isn't a weakness but a strength. You will see her at any and every tournament.
 
The BCA needs to work on its streaming skills. ie. cutting streams into individual matches, naming the streams correctly, sound and video quality. Lets hope next year is an improvement.
 
That commentator or host of the event is an idiot.

Last night these two commentators were speculating something was wrong with Sofia Mast because she was getting killed by Easton. During the post game interview he actually asked her what is wrong with her and they noticed something wasn't right. She said she had some back spasms. He was prying an answer out of her.

Then he goes and interviews Easton and told Easton that Sofia had back spasms. This was right after Easton goes on to praise Sofia for her runouts. Should have saw the look on Easton's face.

Rather than just let the winner have their glory, he went around snooping and then telling/insinuated to the winner that she won because of injury.

Thankfully, Sofia is class. She said Easton was shooting great and deserved to win.

They were trying to create some drama with junior players. LOL

Should save the juniors from that cr*p, already too much of it in pool world. On the other hand I hope these juniors have enough sane adults around them telling what is okay and what/who should be not tolerated and ignored. I feel that both of these youngsters have their focus on the table and not on outside shenanigans.
