I was trying to find that other match where Karl was seated infront of the guy shooting at his direction and made another move, but couldn't find it sorry, but let me tell you it was even worse than the two linked in this match, when I watched it live I was like "what the hell man" the guy who was shooting missed a straight in shot cause of it.

You can only shark yourself. These are supposedly professional players, and should be able to "block out" any distractions. If they can't do that, then they are not very good professionals, imo. In the 'old days' (1950s-1970s) people sharked all the time. It never bothered the real players...it should be the same with today's players.

Exactly. Look at basketball players trying to shoot free throws, everyone is waving, moving etc behind the hoop. Listen to the noise at a football game when you are on offense.

You can't compare pool to football or basketball.
Instead compare it to the game it's usually compared with...golf.
Then you'd see how wrong you are.
Agreed... that's a bit shitty.
Not only that...
Fans doing it versus opponents doing it are two different animals.

Lol absulutely and completely different scenarios. Those players are used to sharking because it's allowed and therefore EXPECT it. Try doing that to someone attempting to sink a 15ft putt for the money and let us know how that turns out for you.

Actually it would probably be better for you physiology. Even Tigers Dad rang bells, clanged pots and pans together in the middle of practice swings.
If someone Is zipping something or shaking their head bothers you then you have a "mental" issue.
Sharking makes for any easy excuse.

Never liked Boyes. I like him even less now. Does he have a nickname other than "Ball cleaner"? I'm thinking "Zipper Boy" or "Fidget fool". Karl "Zipper Boy" Boyes does have a ring to it.
Rob, I honestly don't think it bothers ko or any other top level pro, as you mentioned its mental. The point is not who it may bother, but the level of class or lack there of it takes to even try the move. We aren't talking about a backroom pool hall in the 70's here.

Wow, a Karl Boyes fan.
I thought the ever-elusive "Boyes Fan" myth was debunked on MonsterQuest?
The more you know.

This is absolute garbage! Resiliency is important, but I guarantee that no matter how good you are, you can be sharked. Even if you somehow can't be sharked, such blatant sharking attempts as this, should NEVER be tolerated in a professional event. These are supposed to be professionals, like you said. Yet they are acting like two bit hustlers. What kind of example is this setting for people learning the game?
Let me tell you story from another sport. A professional bowler is lining up on his final shot, the difference between making the strike and failing is 50k dollars. Right at the moment of release a stupid fan loudly calls the guys name. He lost the 50k. Someone calling your name is pretty much a guarantee of distracting you, especially in a tense moment. Does that mean the bowler was not good? (One of the best ever, actually).
As players of this sport we have the responsibility of speaking up against cheaters like "Zipper Boy" and the like.

i thought he got that from his move he tried with KK9?
obviously, when you put these 4 examples together, we can conclude that he's simply suffering from a nervous twitch.
