SVB versus Shaw score updates...Anybody?
- Thread starter takeitdown
- Start date
Also, thanks for all the greenies everyone. Sometimes I like to do the reporting because it keeps me focused on the game and not messing with chat and other things.
At Large thanks for the stats, they do tell the tale. Interesting that Shane broke dry 9 times out of 25 and lost all nine of those. Probably because a lot of the time when he broke dry he left a shot, same as when he broke wet.

Aside from the money, they kinda broke even...damn close one.
Thanks, Barton.
Thanks, Barton.
2 observations:
1) If we only absorbed AtLarge's stats (TY!), it would conclude SVB crushed Jayson. SVB won, but he didn't crush.
2) There was little question IMO who had the nuggets to close it out. I question if JS will grow them to get to the top. I hope he does. I love watching him play and he's a pisser of personality. (that was a compliment)

Jayson has all the physical skills to be the best player in the world.
Shane makes two balls on the break, shot on the one in the top right, like always
Slightly funny on the two but ok. No problem for Shane, dead in line.
Shane wins!
Great display of heart from Jayson AND from from Shane to hold it together when the pressure was applied.
Thanks for the play by play
I didn't get to watch this event, but there's no doubt Shaw can really play top notch pool.
Based on watching him on streams over the last year or so...he is a tremendous shot maker, with no fear.
I do think he could win a few more games with some more solid safety play.
That may be a tough transition for someone who is so offensively minded and does so well with that mindset.
Congratulations to both Jason Shaw and SVB.

He gave away several games with loose safety play where he could have locked SVB down. Instead he hit the ball got lucky and left Shaw safe. He went on and won several games like that.
Could it be that Shane let up hoping for a rematch rather than shutting him out and further killing his action..... He is a smart kid/man
I'm not saying this is the case but he did put the hammer down when it counted

Did Scotland secede from the Union yet?
The world will find out if the Scots will vote to end their 307 year union with England on September, 18.
Yes; apparently Shane's breaks were more "runnable" whether wet or dry:
• 21 of Shane's 25 breaks (84%) were won in one inning -- 13 by Shane on his 16 wet breaks and 8 by Jayson on Shane's 9 dry/fouled breaks.
• 8 of Jayson's 19 breaks (42%) were won in one inning -- 3 by Jayson on his 9 wet breaks and 5 by Shane on Jayson's 10 dry/fouled breaks.
That confuses me...who is 'he' in the 1st sentence?
Who is 'he' in the 2nd sentence?
Somebody shot twice in a row, didn't 'he'?:indecisive:

I've been saying for the last couple years that safety play is his Achilles heel. I don't think he tries hard enough to lay down a locked up safe, and sometimes seems to just bunt the ball out in disgust that he couldn't continue his run. If he ever takes his safety play seriously, look out world, this kid shoots like God.
I only watched the $10 special, and I'm kicking myself in the ass for not ponying up the whole $40. I thought it would be so lopsided that it wouldn't be worth my time (another equine molestation), but when reports started to come in that yesterday afternoon he basically out-played SVB 2-to-1 in a race to 40, I just had to see what kind of firepower he brought with him.
I had the same conclusion last night, that his safety play was costing him games he should have won. Even Shane's iffy kicking last night was enough to get him out of trouble and go on to win at least a few games he should have lost. That may have made all the difference, especially if a few of those games gave Shaw the lead by a few games instead of always playing catch up. Momentum is everything with these guys.
Comments were made above that Shaw's cue ball control was the weaker of the two, but I disagree. SVB continually and uncharacteristically got out of line most of the night. Not by a lot, but enough for him to have to shoot his way out of it. Shaw's CB was on a string IMO, although his pattern choices may have made for tougher shots at time than needed to be.
Bottom line: Shaw works real hard on his break, takes safety play for the powerful tool it is, and continues to learn better and better patterns (after all, he's only been playing our games for a few years now) and he will be tough for anybody to beat... even the reigning King.
Interesting stats. Do you keep shooting percentages as well? I think I only saw Jayson miss two shots all night long.
I don't think so. Shane makes mistakes too. He misses, he chooses to go for shots rather than play safe, he breaks dry. I doubt highly that Shane wanted the score to be 92/91 going into the last ten games.
At Large has all the stats but I would tend to think it is more along the lines of streaks that can come up in long matches. I think Shane is the better player slightly and that is what ultimately plays out over distance. But as any of us know, even when we are a ball or two below another player we are likely to have a couple good sets where we out play that "better" player.
And I don't think that Jayson is a ball under Shane. Maybe half a ball. As well I think Shane is also prone to losing focus a little and having min streaks where his head is not in the right space. That's just a feeling who knows what's really going on in there?
