Fedor vs SVB score

I don't want to start a discussion here.
Yes, "wetter" cloth due to humidity will make it thicker and thus slow a balls speed. There are many factors effecting a balls speed; some slow it down, some will speed it up.
Back to the original thread topic.
I'm saying the ball rebounds better than on dry cloth due to the friction not the rubber.
 
I have watched most of the matches the past two days. SVB is beyond impressive. Hasn’t shown his age at all. In fact, he got stronger both days the longer the match went on. Fedor has faltered at times in what appeared to be lapses of concentration

No surprise but the break has been huge. Shane gets more balls in and has had easier runouts.

Not just that, though. Fedor‘s jumping has not offered much advantage and SVB has had a clear upper hand in safety battles.

Fedor had an 11-win advantage at the halfway point of the first day. Since then SVB has had an 18-game edge.

Hard to see Fedor coming back. He cannot afford to fall behind by 10-plus earl. And his safety game has to be better.
 
No option for that. You get to see the previous days on replay.
thanks for letting me know. That's a bit odd- I think they should have a pay by day option even if it is a little more- say $12 instead of $10. I haven't had time to watch the match live but should have time today but probably won't purchase it because $30 is steep for one day (I don't really have interest in watching recordings of the first 2 days)
 
First day it was $40 for the whole match, that's what I bought. I didn't check the price on day 2. Day 3 is now $30. So it was discounted. It also gives access to all of their prior matches. There is a Gorst vs Chohen one pocket match, Oscar vs Reinhard, and a few others.

So you get to see all previous matches on the site?
 
Can’t count either of them out.

I had fedor a small favorite, only because of the format. Shorter format I’d have called it a coin flip or maybe had Shane the favorite by the thinnest margin.

Shane has been playing imo his best pool the last couple years only by a hair.

So far my estimation has been wrong, his age isn’t showing up. Ofc he’s not that old but when your age starts with a “4” funny things can happen in rotation games. Unless your name is Ronnie and you play snooker.

I’m super glad the got this game down and it’s happening.

Shane works harder than any champion I’ve ever known or seen. He’s certainly paid his dues twice. 🫡

By all appearances I believe he’s going to close this out and win. Will he win more games on the last day? Not sure, I hope he does.

What’s really interesting is what happens next time they play? Is this the start of something like the Alex P action? I hope so! I’ve always been a firm believer that action drives pool. At least the version of pool I like.

While I don’t know Fedor he has had my respect as a player for a good bit of time now and his future certainly looks great.

And as Jay noted “I’m back” for a bit. 😉

It’s good to be back! The pool family will always be family. If ya know, then ya know.
We all miss you.
 
back to humidity. the rubber doesnt absorb enough moisture to make it a big deal. but the wetness of the cloth and balls and rail cloth
makes the table much slower.
hence when we didnt have air conditioning you had to have a powerful stroke to get around the table.

plenty of streamed money matches from the philippines with those conditions, plus talcum powder all over the tables

Same here, too bad -- they're leaving money on the table, IMO.

Wife is out of town, so I'd pay $10--12 for today. No interest in watching the previous days.

Those are my favorites. They also play in sandals and tank tops.

They’re texting in their phone and doing other things as well. There just happens to be a pool match going on. It’s great.
 
Fedor breaks down the 2 ball. He can hit the one but it is frozen to the 6. No pocket available. Safety battle.

Fedor jumps a table length shot and got position. He runs out.

82-78
