Yes, from what I've read men's brains have developed stronger connections between areas of the brain that are used for motor and spatial skills, so that men are more adept at tasks that require hand-eye coordination. At the elite levels of pool these differences will be multiplied, such that not...

Well, what kind of men were they really if they had purses?

If we're talking about visualizing success in terms of execution at the table, I think those two techniques are compatible. If the first one works, I'm not as worried about losing anymore during the match, which might help me even more to focus on and visualize success in executing my shots...

I like this bit of advice from CJ Wiley about dealing with pressure: Before the match imagine that you've already lost and come to accept it. Now during the match you don't have to worry about losing because you've already dealt with it.

A shootout?? You cannot be serious!!

I think winner breaks is only unfair if one player never gets a turn at the table. That's extremely rare, though. I think it's more unfair to take away a player like Earl's or Shane's ability to put packages together, an ability which few other players can match.

I prefer winner breaks to alternate breaks. I can't imagine not getting to see some of those packages that Earl used to put together, for example. His top gear was the best I've ever seen, and I think it would be unfair to legislate out that kind of dominant ability.

Alex wins 10-9!

Alex and Albin hill-hill.

Wow, hard to believe Filler missed that 9 ball to go hill-hill.

When you look at Shane's list of titles and accomplishments, and you consider the fact that he's accomplished this in the toughest era in the history of the sport, I think you can not only make a case that he's the greatest American player ever, but also a case that he may be the GOAT.

Sometimes that's all it takes!

Practice?? Practice?? We talkin' 'bout practice??

He probably needs a separate house to put his trophies in.

Congratulations Shane!!!

Yep, and I'll pass.
