Don't know if you guys caught that match it was the finals and a very good match from both players. I won't spoil it but if you can find it, it is a must watch.

Thanks to the great people of the Mezz West State Tour.
 
The sweaters were having nervous breakdowns.
Tension filling the air.
Great match.
Definitely one for the books.
 
West States Mezz Tour is quickly becoming the toughest regional tour in the nation. Johnnyt
 
Yes indeed............the competitive game of pool is still being played in Fresno, CA.

I watched the stream yesterday and I have to say I really enjoyed it. First time watching this tour and there was some awesome play. I thought the commentators did a good job too. Keep it up mezz west state tour.
 
Great learning experience for Amar. Perfect example of not being able to trust ones fundamentals enough. Amar had 8 or 9 games and couldn't pull the trigger on the break! He must have raised up at least 3 times before he could break. And thus it began.

We have all been there before. We stop trusting in ourselves. Instead of making up our mind that if we are going to lose we are going to lose "Stroking" we get out of the flow and we become tentative.

Amar played very good pool for two days and hopefully this time into the forge will make him stronger.

This kind of match makes for sleepless nights but leads to greater determination and a knowledge that you can.
 
I was chatting with one of my close friends about the match earlier today and he recalled how much I really admired Amar's pool stroke and that may be an understatement.
I am a big, big fan of his stroke and have watched it up close for hours on end. His stroke is so measured and controlled.......there's absolute precision and steadiness on his
backstroke and his follow is so damn smooth and straight......awkward hand bride positions do not affect him like it does myself at times and so many other players I know.
And when he uses a actual bridge, his stroke remains the same and sure as hell I know mine doesn't.......I hate the crutch and my performance with it confirms such.....that's
why I have a Tony Ryan cue extender to miinimize my use of a table bridge.....even my Justabridge or Kamui Leather bridges......doesn't matter which I use.......but Amar.....
his stroke seems ideal all the time. It may sound like I've got a case of pool man crush on Amar but actually, I think he has one of the most rhythmic pool strokes I've ever seen.
