I felt Chua was the best with the jump cue in this Reyes Cup. Fedor, of course, is the best jump shot player in the world, with Yapp, Ko Pin Yi and Shaw just a bit behind.

I don't think so ... just my opinion. Fedor jumps were more difficult and they were cleaner with position. Maybe MR could do a clip with the successful jumps in the tournament.

Really nice insight from Coach Johan Ruysink on the Window's Open podcast. He mentioned the "toxic" environment at MR events.

People who keep praising Miss Emily, mostly you educated and informed ones, are doing a disservice to the sport. MR needs to get over the shit that they dominate pool. Yes, production is good except for the shitty camera work that cut away from the table at critical moments. Predator does the same shit with their camera work also. Seems like they have too many cameras out there. End of rant.

Agreed, it was refreshing to hear his and Appleton's views on the current state of the MC and pool in general, as opposed to people who are all in the MR inner-circle and will be biased to an extent, whether implicit or explicit. We need to hear the bad with the good, and so does Matchroom, because that is how change happens.

The one part that blew my mind was Jayson and Sky getting double money for being playing captains. It's obviously not a financial burden to MR to pay a Captain, so why not pay someone who actually knows how to be a coach and also doesn't have the stress of having to perform as well as coach at the same time. That decision is mind-boggling to me.

But basically he said he thinks it's due to MR wanting to keep someone in their inner-circle or who they have a close relationship with, to be captain, that way they can have more control. A person like Johan would want and should be given free reign to coach his team how he sees fit, but that might not align with what Matchroom wants. That's how I interpreted it at least.

Exactly! Matchroom desire for loyalty and control will be their downfall.
 
Just for $H1t$ @ giggles, are they paying Django & JJ as team captains out of their own (MR) pocket?

Yes I would think so, if they do it for the MC why not do it for the RC? I don't think JJ would do that for free (whatever it is he does).
