Fortunski has an interesting style. He shoots most his shots the same speed. Does not try to get perfect shape, if he can see it then he can make it. Fortunskihe has no problem leaving himself long.

He was smart on 2 8B’s he played what the table gave him. Didn’t get fancy & took the harder 9B shots both times. Drilled both. I like his style,

Hope your good Jim😍😊

All good here!
Fortunski does not over think the table. Has a good pace and pops those balls in with conviction.

Morra, Biado, Geronimo, He
Fortunski, Oi, Appleton/Teutscher, SVB

And again, all Americans out, SVB in final 16, almost the same year after year. I guess that American belief that gambling makes you a better player don't really compare much to PRACTICE like you WANT to be a PROFESSIONAL POOL PLAYER!
 
Most European and Asian countries have legitimate development programs that are funded by the government. They view it as a real sport. Until something like that happens in the US, we will play second fiddle to players from other countries.
 
Morra is American IMO, he lives here most of the time. Still pretty disappointing there are not more.

I've been making the point for years that America now sucks at pool. Every time I say it I get dumped on and with every world class tournament I'm proven right again. We've got SVB and nobody. I would have only been worse if Taiwan and China were here.

Well ask him , I'd bet high he doesn't think that , he learned pool in Toronto from his dad he's very proud to be Canadian and he should be

If thats so, then Morra, and Shaw should play for Team America in the next Mosconi Cup, then maybe we'd have a chance of winning!

I think your probably right, I’ll ask him next time I see him. His heritage is 100% 🇨🇦. It really shows up in his snooker game.

I will let him be American when he learns to speak where it doesn’t sound like he is talking with about 50 marbles in his mouth. :)
