I don't think the cue has absolutely anything to do with it. Dennis was playing with it for a few weeks/months?, and he won the past few events with it. Helfert even came on to say Dennis loves it, and its better than the Tiger
And where is this SW talk coming from anyway? Wasn't Dennis playing Tiger cues for the past 5 years???
Dennis was simply outplayed. He missed a few balls, committed several cardinal sin shots of going for high risk/low reward onepocket 101 shots, and played shots that slowly eroded his table position several innings later. That one bank in the last couple of games was super suspect. The straight back he shot hard and jawed in his hole. There was no reward if it went, and there were several balls in front of Tony's hole. Dennis was playing brain dead.
Tony played super offensive and defensive shots, didn't make hardly any blatant errors, and got a few rolls on top of that.
Was definitely not the cue! Were you all watching the same match???
