We're talking about how well a player's TPA for a match indicates how they played in that match.
We're talking about using these statistics to indicate how well someone plays.
What did he use? I really have no idea
Ritalin was available Jack's entire professional career. But you are right, Tiger had a much greater selection to choose from. And I doubt he could take time-released capsules.
Is there proof of him taking anything?
Is there anywhere that has a players average TPA using all their matches(that are available)? you would think this would give a similar rating to fargo.
Possibly better?
I have no idea...don't know a thing about golf. I'm just fairly educated in pharmaceuticals and drug history.
As far as Fargo goes, there are 13 players rated 800 or higher. 10 of them played in the US Open, and 4 of them were in the top 4.
So even though the player with the higher TPA wins the majority of the time, it's only a single match, and not necessarily an accurate representation of how well they play. Take for example Shane's only loss against Chang in the 3rd round. He shot a 762 TPA.
You would agree that's not a proper depiction of how well he plays, right?
Accu-Stats used to compile and publish a player's overall TPA, at least for an entire tournament.
I wouldn't think so.
Average TPA for Shane (and other players) would only include the matches he/they played on the stream.
Fargo includes every single match.
Kudos to you
That field does not even come close to the field Shane had to go through this week.
I think Jayson Shaw, CJL and Orcullo would have sliced through that field.
Which is still wayyyyy more than Accu-Stats.
In terms of pin-point cueball control and layouts with a 20% run-out chance, Dennis Orcollo was superb but it clearly shows his lack of intelligence as a mistake would cost him the rack and possibly the next few during the winner-break format of color of money 2.
That was the reason why Yang massacred Dennis by 18 farking racks.
Yang was obviously the smarter player , he would play safe for anything less than a 80% chance and , take ball in hanf n run out.
Yes , he thrived on his superb shotmaking ability from his practice on 3 inch pockets during the early nineties.
Just my 2 cents
Good point !
I think of that time to time.
I think a lot has to do with a pool player's progression from being a pro to settling down getting married n having kids.
Its tough for a family man to as dedicated as he was single.
A good example is Darren Appleton , like mika won the world 10 ball , 9 ball , 2 us open and big money 100 k chinese 8 ball over a span of 2007-2015.
Of a sudden, in a slump n not getting the big money comp he is known for.
Has mike gotten married ?
I think Appleton's slump is due to Cheqio.
Shane lost concentration playing Alex.....because of a female that was with him at that moment....not making excuses, just calling it what it was.
Ya and Chang lost because the wait clearly affected him not making excuses just calling it what it is

I don't know why you people can't see that Shane's 5 wins out does Earl's by a mile. Here's a few ways to look at it, how many times has Earl entered the US Open vs how many wins....the years he didn't win are called failed attempts. Never before in the history of the US Open has there been a more dominate player than Shane....he has literally DOMINATED the US Open 4 out of the last 5 years....can ANY ONE say Earl DOMINATED the US Open? Yes, he won it 5 times....but couldn't put back to back wins together even once. AND....by the FACT that Shane at the moment has TIED that record....as incredible as that....SHANE himself has set a record that in any of our lifetimes will never be matched let alone be broken....HE WON THE US OPEN 4 TIMES OUT OF 5 ATTEMPTS!!!
