    Any idea why Emil Gangflot forfeited to SVB?

    Skylar just lost in the loser's bracket. Played some great safes and then would miss easy shots. Clearly still very rusty...

    Thought patterns ...

    I practice karate and have for 40 years. I've taught it for over 26. I try to apply my focus when I shoot pool: When I am down on the shot, I focus on the path of the breath, just the path in and then out and I shoot on the out.

    Rack 13 in this SVB Bijsterbosch on the 8 ball was like a battle of APA 4s...

    We may not be seeing Feijen facing Filler... we may be seeing him vs Vitaly. He's up 6-5 at the moment!

    If I learn Moritz's bad habits and am able to apply them the way he does, I'll glady incur your wrath.

    I completely understand your point. But I watch pool to get better, and seeing a "flow" player doesn't help me at all. I gain far more for my own improvement by seeing a player figure it out. Seeing them point to where they want the cue, or the object ball, to go during a safe is far more...

    A clinic so far by SVB... He looks like he's just practicing ...and now the tables have turned.

    Making it unwatchable? I can understand not liking it as much... but unwatchable? A color?

    When it comes to choosing a shaft, Is deflection the only factor?

    Big factor for me is the feel of the shaft. I tried carbon shafts, and even those with a low deflection reputation. I can't get used to the feel of the shaft when it's not wood. Using a lower-deflection wood shaft now, and it's perfect.
