Agreed, Naoyuki is very animated and charismatic.
What's great about these two men (Japanese-Vietnamese) is ''them''.
Great character/Aoki.... takes years to form on the green felts.
These men are themselves.... their pace of play and character and person/ARE Completely Different than what the Public Eye thinks when Comparing/ a man in a bar in blue jeans holding a cue and a beer.
Pools reality....
Your growing up/playing with older men.
This planet wide billiard/room eco system, matures young players quite differently than other games.
High-end pro players are NEVER a flash in the pan.
Yapp....
To get to the hill of any pro event speaks of a decade of commitment and not hanging around kids your age all the time
.
MR needs to Engage these two HAPPY types of personalities more into their business model/marketing.
You'll never see a Corn Hole Bag tosser with as much pure character, demeanor, and decades of commitment evolve like a pool playing kid did hanging around the adults in his youth in his country.
Wonder what the Vietnamese pool rooms are like.
