I can't understand what does Jayson means when he says that "you are breaking dead center Shane"... He can't be talking about breaking from the dead center of the table because he clearly doesn't..
Aiming dead center the 1 ball is illegal now, Jayson? Never heard that before...

Yes, that's what he thinks. Breaking from where Shane was breaking from, and hitting them the way he did (dead square), the only way the corner ball goes is with gaps.

That seem a very odd and illogical assumption.

I played in the bank tournament on those tables with those racks. All I have to say is good luck freezing all those balls, it's just not gonna happen. The best you can do is getting that one froze to the next two and after that do the best you can. Shaw can be a real sore loser, just another example.
Is there anything about the rack in question that is actually against the rules of the DCC?
Jayson was referring to the fact (or so I thought it was) that since the inception of 9 ball, the wing ball was only wired for the corner when breaking from the side. Shane was breaking from pretty close to the center of the table and that ball doesn't usually go from there.
I am in agreement with you about the gaps. I was hoping that I could catch the larger gaps. If that pic is legit, and I believe it is, seeing the gaps would be impossible from my vantage point.

Shane breaks from the box, hits dead square, and wing ball goes on a rack that Shaw gives him.
So we can assume Shaw gave him a tight rack with no gaps.
Shane still makes the wing ball because Shane breaks like a monster.
I could watch the rest of the match and keep a statistic record but I don't have the time.
This was just a move by Shaw. Plain and simple.
Cheating or not... what I find impressive is that even after the altercation Shane still ran out with a tester on the 1 ball.
I agree with you.
Breaking from the box and using a magic rack, I can snap the wing ball in the corner pocket. That ball goes with a tight rack.
I thought the same thing. Hearts pumping. Your opponent just raked the rack and made you re rack, then took photos of your rack implying you're cheating and you open up with that 1 down the rail.
That was impressive considering the situation.
You did follow the post to whic I replied to too?
My response was to the question, if the game is so easy, why don't 2nd tier players win more big events, while the better players are winning almost always?
IMO...no, not just imo, fact:
The better players win because together, they are an 'opponent' that is SUPER hard for a notably lesser player to work his way through.
Let's look at the paths to a win a 64 player event. Say 64 player, 4 world beaters, 10 2nd tier pros and the rest lucky to cash or thereabouts.
The 4 are VERY unlikely to play 3 of equal skill level prior to the semis or finals, while the opposite is true for the lesser players.
That's why the world beaters usually win.
Ever heard of the “L” shape when racking 9 ball? Square hit and the wing ball goes almost every time from anywhere, especially the box. Just saying what most already know.
it was impressive that he just took it all in stride and still ran out and even after, just walked off smiling and laughing at him when jason continued jawing
handled the situation like a boss
Race to 9. Shaw quit, forfeited.
Thought so. Still...win for Shane.
