Nice fast run and I gotta say I like your music selection much better than Marop's. While you and I were listening to Cream and Hendrix in the 60s, Bill was probably listening to Donny and Marie or Captain and Tennile.
Nice break to start. Good spread. I was surprised 31 seconds in when you chose to tickle the bottom of the balls in the rack. I didn't anticipate it but it moved them all just a smidge and you had the insurance ball if you needed it. You then jumped into them immediately at 50 seconds and bumped over a break ball.
Nice break on rack 2. Looked like you get a little bit of the follow angle and smashed into them hard. The cue ball went uptable a bit. The racked looked a little congested until you got on a secondary break at 3:28 and opened them up nice. You had a little mess on the left long rail and when you went into it you had to cut a ball in the bottom right and ended up in the kitchen. You came with a long 6 ball and went into the mess again. I thought you might be able to end with a 9 ball break but it was very tight quarters and you did well to manufacture that side pocket break.
After the break, you had that three ball congestion on the right under the side pocket and those balls bothered you the whole rack. Nice cut at 7:48 of that stripe uptable and finally at 8:03 problem solved and on to another break.
After your break shot, back to the kitchen again. It looked like those same two balls that bothered you the previous rack were stuck together in the same spot on the right long rail under the side pocket. You went after them immediately and just missed. You kept going after them and just missing and consequently had to come with tougher shots and tough position.
Bad luck with them two balls.
