I believe Shane has been working on his break a lot and has found something for him. He seldom scratched and his spreads were better. Hes even making the wing ball more often. this is no fluke. The nine on the spot is a Finess break and easier for someone with less power.
After great success with southwest over the years I thought id try a carbon fiber cue after trying a couple of name brands I settled on a jflowers cue with smo shaft. Finding the right tip took some time but my old trusty milk dud gave me great performance from the shaft. after taking time...
WOW Im reading some interesting post about svb. His record of Tournament wins speaks for itself and his dominance for years...They changed the nineball break without a doubt because of shanes dominance..No other sport changes the rules as much as pocket billiards and athletes in other sports...
Depends how bad SVBwants it. If someone can stir his fire to outdo Earl he could win his Sixth. He still shows signs of greatness when he wants to. He has plenty of money but needs more desire to win and put in the time. He knows what it takes.
I saw neils and ralph together at a Huebler cup in Palm Springs in !999. They were not in the Tournament but were looking for action. And Ralph Souquet had collar length hair and some on top also.
Kent Taylor was a very respectable player that had his great moments. Kent was better known as a cue maker that built cues that had accuracy and feel not found except in great cue makers cues. sorry to hear about his passing as we will miss his entertaining pool stories. Rest in peace my friend.
no one has as much experience at long sets as svb. look at his Tar record against all the best in the world. I give much credit to Mark Griffin for all he did for Shane.
Knowing shane he'll be more than ready for this match. he has the best break and i'm sure his safty game will be dead on..I think fedor will be his toughest match so far. this should be a real treat for all pool players to watch.
After playing for sixty seven years and watching many great players efren is diffinately the best and svb would be my second choice. Siegel and earl were great. one more usopen 9-ball for svb and all the talk would end. just my opinion.
