No expert here, but the Russian guy who interviewed Shane pronounced it as if it had a "k" in it.

What was clear to me is that one guy was using a much bigger cue.

Exactly. Funny how some folks are saying that Shane is only an average player once you declaw him on the break. :rolleyes: Well, how might the match have gone if Chinahov only had a 14% B&R average and Shane had his normal break working? FWIW this is not the standard breaking format that is...

That was a treat! Yeah, all I knew of the guy before the U.S. Open was that he is a top 14.1 player. He's only 23 years old, and he's already playing at a very sophisticated level. He's gonna be around for a while, that's for sure.

It seemed to me that the majority of his misses happened early in the match. Shane did capitalize on these mistakes and took an early lead. They both played poorly in the beginning, but by the mid-point break Chinahov had recovered and wasn't missing much. Shane never seemed to get in stroke...

Right. Not the outcome we were pulling for, but we'll always have Paris.

In those games, the penalty for a foul is not BIH anywhere on the table. You can play safe by taking an intentional in straight pool and just give up your inning, but in rotation games played under all-foul rules, a wisp of hair from a pretty lady's tresses that brushes a ball anywhere on the...

Well, because it can affect the course of a ball. That's why they like to get it off the table whenever possible. I have the first design of the Accu Rack and a slow rolling ball will take quite a different direction if it hits one of those little arms just before the ball comes to rest. I've...

Shit! I ran out of whisky already. I'm headed to the liquor store to get another bottle, can somebody text me if this thing starts tonight?

Coulda been worse. Coulda been sax and violins.

I like Jimi's version better.

First time watching?

How do I aim banks?

And made some incredible shots in the process. :cool: All of these guys are shooting unbelievably well at this point. Accu-stats of low to mid 900's for the most part. Any mistake can cost you the match, which is how we all hope it will be at this elite level. This is the best pool I ever...

Never even got that far. Lol!

And then again, maybe not. Boyes was down 6 racks, now he's on the hill!

I'm with Jay in just issuing a warning first. I was sitting at a table at Turning Stone last year, watching Mike Dechaine play Fred Gokey in an early round. Mike was having problems with a new tip he just had installed. He miscued badly twice in one game. After one of his miscues he decided...

Same here. It's totally unwatchable... and not just because Barry is talking.

After Shaw told Geoff Conway that he would "drill her" in their match because "she can't break", Karen got to the hill first in spite of that flaw in her game. I'd love to see the match myself. All reports are that she is playing at a very high level right now, maybe the best in her entire...

Awesome change! This is the match everybody is dying to see.
