It is a race to 11.Hatch gets one of the worst rolls I've ever seen at the 20:30 mark.I am sure he still remembers it to this day!

1993 LA Open 9 ball finals.....Mark Tadd vs Dennis Hatch
- Thread starter Onepocket73
- Start date
That last millisecond of the CB's travel was a killer. CB behaves like it fell leftward into a pothole-like table defect after its final forward revolution. Most likely caused by the not-uncommon loose morsel of seam-filler wax pried up during routine vacuuming of the fabric. (Or supernatural entity-forbid -- an actual chipped-out crater in the slate itself.)

Two things I noticed about that roll. First, the table obviously wassn't level. Second, Tadd makes it a point to get up and walk over to the table and look at the balls, which in my mind is a shark move.
Well...,
Mark didn't need to shark Hatch to beat him at any game any time. I don't like it when someone looks at the shot, but Tadd needed no help beating anybody.

That was a shark move? Haha. Yeah, that shark move made him miss that slam dunk of a shot.
Tadd looked at the shot 20:51, for 1 second, and hatch shot at 21:08. That's your definition of shark move huh?

It is rumored that he would work on his break for hours on end at times.
It wasn't just his break shot...and it was not a rumor.

You guys are being a little ridiculous with this "shark" move stuff.Please,Hatch didn't miss the ensuing jump shot because Tadd took a quick peak.I agree that taking a look is unclassy and I never do it in competition unless it could be grounds for calling a ref regarding a questionable hit,but to say that he was trying to shark the guy is ludicrous and even more so to say it got into Hatch's head and affected his performance.
Yeah, seriously. I have had this happen to me probably a million times and not once did it even occur to me that it was sharking or bother me one bit. Like Fats said "you oughta play in a wax museum, THEN if somebody moves, get outta town!"
in a serious match i'm of the belief that your opponent remains in his chair, and silent
so yeah, shark move imo
bad roll, but that was a real bad shot by Hatch leaving himself with such little margin for error

I have had balls hit a piece of chalk broken off the edge of the cube of chalk and they rolled similar to this. The shark move is chalking over the table.
