Robert,
Don't you mean "high-friction" and not "short", as we have previously discussed?
To those uninitiated, on a high-friction table (short, dirty, no slide), we frequently refer to it as a "short" table, since many typical shots such as the break shot or a 5 rail shot to the corner come up short of the intended target. However, even on a "short" table, there are certain shots that actually play "long" on the short table, such as certain short-angle and long-angle shots. The same is true on a "long", sliding table. We refer to it as "long", but if you play a ball-first natural and you hit a 1/2 ball or more, the shot actually plays "shorter" than usual. That is why Robert mentioned to me that the ideal terms were "high-friction" (short) and "low-friction" (long, sliding). I grudgingly agreed with him, as I hate to tell him he is right. His head is too big already.
and finished the match with a 40-26 score. He will face the legend Torbjorn Blomdahl in the finals!
