I've watched a ton of pro tourneys and all of the pros miss, just not near as often as us mortals.
Efren misses this?

Missed a fairly easy shot. But when he got back to the table checked his stroke, took a little time and did what he does best. Make a tough shot.

Ok
Should OP have asked you if it was ok to post this video?
Note to self. Don't post unless ok'd by "Nostroke"

This Grabe guy is slow as snails. First 3 racks and 20 plus minutes? I did not notice the shot was at 32 minutes. I need faster action, like 1 pocket..
I have to admit, I started this thread out of boredom. It makes a big difference when you have a good commentator calling the match.
I did not mean for my comment to come off negative, if it did, sorry. After I realized to timing of the shot, I FF to the shot. I did enjoy watching the skill of the Grabe guy and think he is very good. Efren is in my opinion the greatest. I just wish I did not spend $800 in 2009, for a two hour lesson that was not a lesson. It like a private exhibition with me holding a cue.
It wasn't any one comment. No big deal. And yes Grabe played pretty well. A few mental errors but went toe to toe with Efren....right up to the end. The main thing I noticed was he had a good preshot routine.
But did anyone notice that Efren fouled right after that rack and the ref didn't call it?
No i didnt. What timestamp?
that shot gets missed often, Roberto Gomez missed a similar one against Peach in the world championship finals
It's immediately after the game the miss is in.
I don't see it. Is it because he didn't explicitly call a push?
Is it a foul to 'practice' between games?
In this case, to stroke the cb while the ref was racking? Seems that is done every once in a while, but I haven't seen it called. I have seen players warned about hitting balls on the game table or adjacent tables while opponent on break.
Otherwise, I guess I missed it.

Good catch. My guess is this is what Bob is referring to.

How is it penalised?
Seems to me that is a pretty strict definition of practicing.
How about "taking a shot that is not part of your match while the match is in progress?" Is that a reasonable definition? If not, what would you propose?

Unbelievable that Efren F'ed this up. Must have been total lack of focus. He should make these in his sleep!
At 32 min in on vid.[/QUOTE
Vintage safety play from Efren!! He's struggling a little bit, but can still find a way to win
