Mosconi Cup 2012 Day (3) Discussion

I'm from the uk and heard quite good things about Dennis Hatch but this is the 1st time i've seen him and im disappointed with what i've seen so far (attitude and ability)! Looks like he's smug and loves himself and is acting like a lil kid. The British crowd is all about banter! He's playing into their hands, trying to wind up them. The only way the British crowd would take an attitude like that is if he shot the lights out!
 
I was thinking Peter Pettigrew from the Harry Potter movies.

Peter Pettigrew=Chris Melling
 
Melling is my favorite guy to watch play hands down...just a gun slinging fool. I like him and Shuff battling it out, they are a great matchup.
 
When you take away all of the jock scratching, butt slapping, replays of the coach hiding behind a piece of laminated paper.........there is about 11 minutes of actual gameplay in an average American football game.

NFL Football is freaking epic. Are you kidding me?
 
Melling = potting machine

no wirst, no hidden catalysts no aiming system no mountain top guru, just talent, oh and bottle.

All joking aside, Chris *IS* a top-tier player. He has one of the prettiest "scissor" strokes I've ever seen -- where the elbow bobs up and down to keep the cue traveling on as straight a piston line as possible.

Watch his stroke, you'll see. ("Scissor stroke" to mean the same type of action you see in those extending log tongs for fireplaces.)

Extremely difficult to master, and lots of moving parts, but pretty when all the cylinders are firing at the correct timing...

Just made up a new 9-ball rule (variant):

- alternate break
- the potter of the 9-ball may shoot the first shot after the break
- you may break anyway you like (no 3 balls over headstring rule)

With these rules it can happen that a player has to break, but in such a way that his opponent has no shot.
 
Baseball has a similar statistic.

Hey now, let's not derail this thread because of your dislike for our sports. It's not like we're making fun of Brits for rioting over grown men kicking a ball back and forth for two hours(do they ever score?) or the fact that their idea of spice is toast with butter. :p
