8 solid hours of pool. Kicking off with Earl vs. Bustamante.
 
Was Archer ...

one of the Pros to utilize the jump shot so much? or just the one to make so many of them?

Sigels' gum chewing gets on my nerves ...

I don't know when he started being called the Scorpion. I've always thought of him as Jumpin Johnny.
 
That 4 balls lined up at the side pocket is tried and true. It was funny to see Allison miss it twice, cuz I made it last night at a tournament, lol. :D <3 trick shots in my repertoire ;) >
 
I'm sorry ....

But I was not impressed with John Horstall's play against Bustamante.

On some shots he missed you could tell he wasn't aiming right to begin
with. The jump shot on the 2 ball he shot, it was aimed for a full ball hit
and that is what he got instead of cutting it into the corner.

When the score was 4-3 Horstall, and Django missed the 5 ball (shooting
it with low inside english) and rattled it in the hole, and then Horstall
missed that easy 5 inch combo on the 9 with the 6, I couldn't believe it.
Any B player could have made that combo, the 9 was just a few inches
from the corner pocket.

I enjoyed watching all the matches though except I skipped Allison's and
Jeanette's match, I knew how that would turn out.

I agree , John had a bad day ! Jeanette was looking gooooood, but she was having a bad day too.. Hal ,thanks for posting that this was on espn.I watched all of them..
 
TIVOed the whole thing.

I swear, tivo is great. I networked it and I can transfer any recording to my PC via the network and burn it to DVD. Been doing that with a lot of these classic matches and editting out the commercials.

I highly recommend Tivo for pool fans alone. you can set up a subscription to billiards and never miss a thing.

Get a Tivo everyone, it will change you life.

I always thought it was corny how people raved about Tivo so much. They truely are great. I work nights and never ever get to see any sitcoms or CSI or Sopranos or House or anything. Now I see it all.

Its especially nice to be able to rewind and watch any shot over to learn about positioning and english etc.
 
Was it me, or did John Horsfal make that table look like a bar table? Must have been the lens or lighting. But he looked enormous.
