I saw Quinten Hann play pool in Vegas at the IPT North American. In fact, I sat down and watched three of his matches. I watched him against Appleton, some other guy, and Thorsten Holmann. When he was warming up in front of Thorsten, I watched Thorsten's body language and noticed he was squirming and uncomfortable. He was watching Quinten's eyes and how clean his stroke was, and looked almost shocked. During the match, the gallery got huge, and I noticed Quinten look over at his friend David Rel-something (some Australian pool pro) and smirk a few times. There was a confidence there I didn't see in Thorsten, and he ended up winning the match against Thorsten. Holmann ended up winning the IPT event, and the only time he looked beat was when he played Quinten. Quinten is a strong, world-class player with a pretty awesome but simple open bridge. His pattern play is pretty incredible and he can make any shot John can make, no doubt. I think if anyone can play 8-ball like that after a month, with a fresh cue, then you have to take them seriously. Quinten can flat out play. I think part of the reason other males dislike him is because he's tall, he's good looking, he's funny, and he's talented. He's also young and carefree, and does have some balls on him. It's easy to dog on him but he has every right to be confident in his game, and he is being honest about what he's capable of.
