Turning Stone updates

what a beatdown, holeee fak

that was damn near perfect pool, not sure I've seen a gear as high as that since Earl's best days
 
I'm gonna have to go with the lefty in this hot seat match.

You win again ... how do you do that ?!?!?

Shaw playing lights out smacks down the Rocket 9-3 ... May be a good chance this was a preview of the finals.
 
I don't wanna get ahead of myslef on the flavour of the month

let's see how 2017 goes in the BIG tourneys

you have DCC right around the corner, worldl 9 ball, US open, and with his uk pool background would love to see him in some chinese 8 ball
 
That was quick. Rodney was shooting lights out and fast. 9-3 over Hatch. Hatch never really had a chance.
 
It's the Rocket vs Shaw take two.

There is nothing more exciting than Winner Breaks.

I feel some packages coming on tonight.
 
A clinic going on here , no one is beating Jason right now except Jason he's playing on another level, ,
But Kudos to Rodney for a great tournament he played some real good pool to get to the buzz saw
