Efren kicked pretty well.I'm not talking about Magee. I'm talking about non-dead money players. If they break and are hooked they can push out to jump shots that other top players would take for granted but Judd would be forced to kick at.

Bear in mind that it suits both Matchroom and Sky Sports to over hype things as they are trying to increase interest and ultimately viewing figures.would love judd to win another match just for phil yates to get his hopes up and think he can beat someone like biado or gorst
Oh, Phil Yates believes it, he definitely believes it.Bear in mind that it suits both Matchroom and Sky Sports to over hype things as they are trying to increase interest and ultimately viewing figures.
It doesn't necessarily mean that off camera the commentary team / presenters believe what they're saying ;-)
Phil Yates is awful.would love judd to win another match just for phil yates to get his hopes up and think he can beat someone like biado or gorst

He is too much. A professional "cueist" beating up on an APA 3 is NOTHING to be excited about or proud of. The other commentator made the remark about pool players not being able to be competitive in snooker. Guaranteed if Shane went over and played the APA 3 equivalent snooker player he'd drill him too. If he played an actual professional (any level) probably not. Let's see what Judd does against a player that has a professional skillset.Oh, Phil Yates believes it, he definitely believes it.![]()
I agree with all of this but thought he broke better than B.My assessment after Match #1
Ball-making/Potting - A++
Breaking - B
Kicking - A
Safeties - B+
Jumping - n/a
Positional play - B+
His positional play was overall good, but he did seem to misjudge it a few times. The break was much better than I'm sure anyone expected. The main thing he needs to get down his controlling the CB. He'll definitely need to string racks together if he wants a chance against any of the top players.
I still think he's a decent favorite over anyone rated 750 or lower.
So maybe he's a 650?In Patel's first match he beat a FR 520 by a score of 9 to 5. If that's any indication....
I believe 100 FR points means about 2:1 in games. So Patel may be a 620 ???So maybe he's a 650?
It would be foolish but not out of the realm of possibility for Matchroom to stack his draw. Modern day Mike LeBroan anyone? LOL!
I think you’re “Phil Yates-ing” it a bit there. It’s hard to judge when he plays someone who literally didn’t make 3 balls in a row in that match (I think he made 2 balls once?). Trump looked to me like he’d lose to anyone closer to 650 or lower, but who knows, maybe his game will go up when he faces better competition. I doubt it though, he’ll probably get tighter and make worse judgments.My assessment after Match #1

It's day one of a seeded tournament. All of the streamed matches have been lions vs lambs so far. Nothing out of the usual. Trump has nothing to gain and everything to lose with that kind of scandal.There have been quite a few convenient draws recently in snooker...so maybe ;-) However in reality, as the UK bookies are offering odds on this, any hint of anything improper would be a massive deal, so its unlikely anyone would attempt something like that.
NOPE!Is it wrong to hope Jeremy Jones losses so he can get in the booth and give us proper commentary?
