Weakness? Actually, I see it a little differently. He performed pretty good considering he only plays on the bar tables 2 or 3 times per year. There isn't enough interest to devote any more time to it.

I never saw the point of pros playing on bar tables.

If I get bored playing on bar tables, I can't imagine how a pro would feel.

I love to watch truly top players on a bar table. No really long tough shots, but more traffic. I don't see the point of holding nine ball and ten ball tournaments at the same event. It's like a straight pool event with 100 point matches and another one with 125 point matches at the same time with the same players.

Fixed it for you. If there were more big bar tournaments with good payouts, guaranteed more pros would spend time practicing on them.

Don't tell that to Shane.

Don't tell that to Shane.

E,

Don't you know by now that it's Shane's massive monster break that gives him all the confidence to win? And that if he didn't have that break, he'd be a 5-10 ranker? It has very little to do with any of the other parts of his weak game.

That's what they say on the internet, so...

Freddie <~~~ wishes my game was as weak as Shane's
