He needs a lot of work IMO in terms of shot selection and just shot making altogether.
He is only 14. How much do you think he should have accumulated by now?
I am sure that a more experienced player would be playing better. However Austin won the viewer's choice - and kudos to the IPT for doing what the viewers wanted to see.
I guess the only thing I can say is that a solution is for players to get out there and market pool so that more people outside of the hard core fans will participate in events like this. They say a rising tide lifts all boats.
So here is a chance for players to aggressively market pool in a grassroots fashion and try to get interest started virally.
