John Morra
- Thread starter trophycue
- Start date
John Morra is a very solid pro. He can beat anybody at any time and is a threat to win any tournament he enters. He is very fundamentally sound. Has a textbook stroke- follows through and stays down on every shot. He really came through in the clutch against Bustamante in the finals with some great safety play and he hit a tough shot after winning the safety battle.
I watched that tourney all weekend. Great coverage and a great event to watch. Glad John snapped it off. I'm hoping they upload the matches. The Semi final with Bustamante and Pagulayan and the final with Busty and John were two incredible matches.
Monster field?? Way weaker compared to past years but solid win for John.
Just going to ask
Let me start off by saying I respect John Morra's game. I like his demeanor when he is playing and his no give up attitude even when he is behind in a set.
I would enjoy seeing him play Skylar Woodward or Justin Bergman. Not sure if they ever matched up in a long set. If so what was the outcome? All of these guys have a similar style and attitude. One thing is for sure, it would make for some great pool (10 ball of course).

Bergman and Morra played a race to 100, 10 ball in March 2008 on TAR. Bergman won in a landslide. John was very young and inexperienced in gambling for any big money. You can use the search feature hear and read more about the match. Since that time they seem to be wanting to play just can't come to an agreement on where the match should take place. Last I heard on it, Morra feels that since he came to Justin last time (they played in Olathe Kansas and Justin lives outside of St Louis, about 4 hours from Olathe), Morra feels they should play in Toronto.
Morra is really stepping up his game......he's going to be winning a lot of major tournaments in the next few years.
Always slow to report on the "news" page. Pretty bad.
My wife and I spoke to John at the bar during the Open last yr.
Nice guy.
Feel bad about how pissed I get when he's on the stream. Lol
Plays too slow and robotic for me.
Wouldn't really say John Morra has a fluid stroke. A bit robotic and textbook. Very slow and methodical in the backstroke and follow through. He's probably the most fundamentally solid player out of the 30 and younger pro set.
Not saying it's a bad thing cause solid beats spectacular.
Right and yes.Kid plays lights out.
John vs Justin
These two have been battling back n
forth since they where 13/14 years old.
I remember watching them play in the
finals of junior nationals about 10 yrs
ago n Justin won , i took my son there.
IMO i give the edge to Justin but on any
given day as great as they both play either
can win a set or two. I'll be waiting for
the announcement of a great battle to come. :grin-square:

John's mechanics were flawless and they never wavered under immense pressure. If robotic is nailing each shot with almost perfect position all weekend then it is something that we all should aspire to be.
SPF'ers should all be proud.
By the way, Dave Hemmah's commentary was spot on. He was the house pro at Hard Times for quite a few years. Great guy who really knows the game.
Props to POV Pool for 3 great weeks of free pool.

I agree about Dave Hemmah's commentary- top notch. I wish he did more commentary
