Alex vs Shane US Open Semi is on YouTube Now!

We are enjoying a time where there are several great players in the pool world. Maybe better than anyone who played before them. No question that Appleton, Alex and Dennis are also super players. Darren plays as good under pressure as anyone I ever saw. And Alex also handles most any situation well, although he somewhat gave up in his match with Shane when he realized he couldn't match his breaking ability. Only Dennis seems unfazed by Shane, ready to take him down at the first sign of weakness (which never came).

But this week, Shane played BETTER all week than anyone else, and the players knew it. It was reminiscent of his first U.S. Open win where he dominated the field. Shane has matured as a player since then, gaining confidence in all situations. I wouldn't be surprised to see him win internationally soon as well. He eschews the cut break, going for all out power to make balls. He quietly laughs at all the cut breakers, calling them sissies. Shane exudes confidence no matter who his opponent is. He's walking tall in the pool world right now!


I really believe Ronnie is the best Pinoy match-up for SVB Jay. It will always be a coin toss when these 2 play...
