He’s starting to really look good. Not the patterns of Ruslan, but still very good. Plus his fire power is awesome. He might get 300 today! 200+ now

But a stupid end pattern has me bewildered on rack 15.

Nice shot after the break on the 15th rack!

Scratched in the top left corner pocket on the 18th rack break shot. Drew the CB straight up table and scratched.

This didn’t age well…
I said unless he changes and he did. He scratched on the break shot multiple times almost scratched even more times.
He was also shooting the break shots like they were 9-ball break he seems to have slowed that down a little bit and trying to control the cue ball.

So my comment is valid. I will add though that in the course of that 200 plus run he's got going it should have ended multiple times from horribly hit balls. He's using up every inch of those pockets. I pretty much stick with what I said, he did just now run over 200 but I got a feeling they are going to be few and far between if any more come at all. His pattern play hasn't improved a bit he is just relying on shot making.

There is not a chance he runs 200. Not unless he changes the way he runs the balls or gets a coach.
Well he is currently at 238 -- oh crap just scratched on the break. so 238 it is!

Edit - I posted this at the same time as your post just above me.

I think a “my bad” would have been a better choice. Jayson was odds on favorite to have a 200 ball run. This isn’t his first time doing something like this by a long shot.

Yeah he wouldn't run all 238 of those balls if he didn't make them.

He dodged the bullet over and over that run, then it caught up with him. Hard to keep up that with out a lot of luck.

You don't get to be one of the best players in the world being stupid. Jason will learn as he goes. I'm sure if something that needs fixing becomes apparent to us, he has noticed it too. He just needs to lean into the game more mentally and only rely on his shot making as a last resort.
