Its FANTASY!!!! There nothing going on with the rack!! They are all jealous because they cant break like him, that all there is to it!
Good idea. Now, to make it fair and not just a xenophobic myopic soggy biscuit circle jerk, they could play english 8 ball. Then, to really prove the best pool player, the decider could be chinese 8 ball.
$50 large? Your boy will not put a single dime on that.
Everyone who follows or plays pro pool knows Shane plays world class pool after the break.
Regardless of 8, 9 or 10-ball (his 1-pocket isn't too shabby either).
But, there have been quite a few instances where top pro's have spoken out about Shane's racking.
Alex has, Earl has, Niels has, Dennis has and Chris does it here to. So quite a few people I imagine,
myself included, think there is probably something to it.
Chris' win-loss record against Shane when a ref is racking seem to point to it aswell.
if you think shanes racking isnt an issue then you havve not been around the pro circuit
the players you mentioned have been vocal about it at the mezz tour recently oscar and rodney were also talkign about how shane would not be near as dominant if all tables were ref racker
again svb can play no doubt he is phenomenal but there is definitely a rig to his racking
oscar said it was the 2 ball (back ball) when he rolls his fingers up them he splits the back ball therefore they spread better
So why can't these twats rack like him?
Nobody is a bigger Chris Mellon fan than me....

Something tells me there might be a few bigger fans of him out there.
That reminds me of a FB conversation between Darren Appleton and Chris Melling I read a few months ago.Melling is a very interesting player.
On the one hand, I wonder how good he could really be if he focused on a single discipline. Could it be that he's a bit lazy?
Then on the other hand, I wonder if maybe he's one of the few pool players that really gets it. Maybe he looks around and understands that there's really not much to be gained from focusing on a single discipline so he spreads himself around and plays all the games.
He probably has about as much fun as possible in the the cue sports world. I can't help but admire that a bit.
I think what Chris needs to do is tell Shane, let's play some 10 ball, neutral racker and we will both put up our own $50,000, race to 50, or 20 ahead.
Now that's what he needs to do if he really thinks he is the better player. And if he has some supporters, he can probably get another $100,000 on the rail.
Now , then you could say he wasn't taking out of his ass.
Your parochial attitudes always make me laugh.
Who is the best pool player? (Not english pool. Not chinese pool. Not that other game. Not the one shane can't play. Nor that one. Or that one).
That one! That's the one he's best at!
So few players are willing to spend the hours necessary to perfect a break equal to Shane's. Watched him at Turning Stone few years ago. Every time he finished a match he would jump on a free table and practice, practice, practice. Which other American is doing that? Perhaps his American competitors are too busy trying to make enough money to live on to practice the necessary hours. Just a guess.

Melling is one of my faves but he is bit out of line here. There may be some truth to SVB being pattern racker but jury is still out thereif you think shanes racking isnt an issue then you havve not been around the pro circuit

Paraphrasing... Chris: If I had your mind, I'd have won 10 world championships.
Darren: If I could shoot like you, I'd have 10 too.
It went something along those line, not sure about the number.
So it seems they are quite aware of their strengths and weaknesses. I suspect Chris has not fully applied himself to US pool for any extended period of time.
I'm pretty sure he smashes the ghost as well as anyone and suspect he doesn't get too excited about the prospect of practicing his break and safety play for hours on end, which is what it would take for him to win more titles in the game.
No, to find out who the better pool player is they should play for no money.
I know you're too blind to realize it, but even the Euro posters are laughing at you.
You're like a wannabe nerd. You don't even qualify for the low rung! I'm sorry your life has been so bad. That's not American pool's fault. That's all on you. I wish you luck.
Freddie <~~~ you don't qualify
What's a wannabe nerd?![]()
