Just a walk in the park.

The most impressive part of that run was her position shot from the 9 to the 10. A delicate stun-follow shot that gave her ideal angle on the 10. She shot it without even thinking about it.

This girl is a prodigy. Hope to hear from her in other international competitions...both men and women's events!

Only 14yo and here @ 13 running 15 Ball rotation easy. She got out of line on the last ball a difficult shot and nailed it. A straight shooter that doesn't think. Her and the cue is one. Wow! A future World Champion!

What a mental torture for Dennis and Carlo. A friend of mine told me 4 years ago that when he went to the PI Efren took him around and he saw with his own eyes that 14 yo kids shoot at Shane's speed. He was Caucasian like us. I didn't believe him. Indeed it's true! And worst today, a Girl...
 
:thumbup: We will be seeing Chezka again in the 2014 World Juniors 9 Ball Championship in Shanghai, China, November 14 to 24. Per this article, she has already competed and won in Taiwan in the 2014 Asian Pocket Billiard Union (APBU) Asian Junior Pool Championship held at the Ji Hsien Pool Club in Taiwan, beating her Taiwanese opponent 6-0 in the finals. I believe the '16 year old' is a typo error as she has been described as only 14 in all other articles.

wait. who told you that pool is "immensely popular" in the Philippines? we may have been consistently producing talented players but it is a misconception that pool is very much alive here. for me, it is actually good that they held this event inside a shopping mall - to encourage people to get interested and play this beautiful game.

That was the case in 2000 when Efren won the WPC. Pool rooms every corner of the street, everyone wanted to learn pool. Nowadays, you are lucky to find one near your place.
