Whoa..............
Sharking???

That kind of stuff isn't supposed to bother a top player.:rolleyes:

For those who think that sharking isn't supposed to bother you, just look at the post above......................

Bustamante has been around more sharking than most of us will see in a life time. He has a greater ability to neutralize distractions than most players, yet this is just more evidence of how sharking can distract ANY PLAYER.

Chao is famous for his world class sharking. I've seen it with my own eyes. He is flagrant and should be penalized for it.
 
Sharking is much more difficult in a tournament setting than a gambling setting. The environment is more controlled. Its quieter and there's less movement. So any attempt by players or spectators is amplified.

There's also people watching and very few players want to be known as only able to win by sharking. Of course, some just don't care as long as they win. So the players are less experienced in combating sharking.

I REALLY like the way the producers of this event continue to show repeats of shots already made in slow motion. This gives the viewer so many things to look at, other than the player making the shot.

I like the way that the slow motion allows you to see that the player sometimes uses small amounts of unnecessary English even on perfectly straight in shots. Also, you can see how level of a stroke these players have and the length of their stroke is quite detailed with this HD video. The closeups are awesome.

Every now and then I would like to see their grip pressure on power draw shots and other different shots, just to pay attention to wrist twists and the all important grip pressure.

Anyway, except for the non-English commentary, I give them a 9 out of 10 on quality video. I also like the way the lights are focused on the tables and the rest of the arena is faded out. :thumbup:
