I caught most the final match of the WPC yesterday on Fox, and man was it a nail biter. Chia Ching Wu, a left hander I noticed (the other Wu is a righty), ran the last 5 tables for the win, 17-16. His Grandma was there rooting for him, and was almost as fun to watch the closer he came to winning.
He does have an explosive break, which allowed him the opportunity to run the last 5. Wu and his opponent both were very deliberate in their preshot routine and warmup shrokes. They both played very careful, as one would expect in the final of the WPC.
Wu, in the last few tables, had some questionable shots, that he had to come with, to finish the table runs, and he stood up to the pressure admireably. He made some mistakes (miscues) in the earlier games, that allowed his opponent to take the lead, plus his opponent ran a 5 pack on him in earlier games (which I hadn't known before).
It was exciting on-the-edge-of-your-seat to actually see it for myself.
Why is it that more lefties seem to have natural strokes than righties? Maybe, it is that missing rib? At least, that's what I have always attributed it to..... lol
Anyone else see this on TV yesterday?
