Bingo on this one too. Jayson has a safety game that is out of this world.
He punished both Ko brothers on some safeties that required a surgeon's touch that were spectacular. And the safety he played on Kaci when he left the 6 ball at far rail, cue ball hidden was a 9 foot touch shot that was so difficult it should have been replayed twice.
I also believe he is currently one of the best rotation game players around. But I question your safety comment.
The week prior to the US Open Jason played in the American 14.1 straight pool tournament, of which he finished 9-16. In his round robin flight, he lost to Alex Pagulayan 100-26, lost to Francisco Sanchez Ruiz 100-21, was all out to beat Bobby Hunter 100-89, and coasted past the E and F players. That got him seeded 23rd in the 24 man single elimination process. He rallied to beat Rodney Morris 125-123, and lost to Bandon Shuff 125-95. This is the 2nd straight year he has yet to reach the quarter finals. His safety play is a major detriment to him going deep in straight pool competition. Seems strange with all his pocketing and cue ball management skills, but the numbers speak for themselves.
