Who is expected to play in the 10 ball

Shane wins-Alcano vs Elliot Sanderson next-no clue who he is at all.

Troy and Tony Robles in the booth-both good!

PS-It is cuesport.com not plural Troy

Thank you- like i said i had no clue. Sanderson up 7-4 over Alcano Now they are saying 6-5 Sanderson-scoring error now or earlier

Next up Feijen Vs Shaw-Shaw came back from 10-6 w Gomez running out to win in a shoot out earlier. Shaw is really getting a rep for coming back from afar with the other player on the hill to win the match!

It's legitimate in pool, too.

It's a much more precise way of indicating the action on the cue ball than "follow three rails". Much better for teaching viewers..

I bought the stream because 1. There are some killers in this field and some inevitably good matches and 2. The stream quality is going to be good. However, 41 players is a crazy low turnout and it sucks to see that. It seems they get less players at every event. It seems crazy that guys aren't playing after all we've heard about lack of good tournaments, especially big table events, on American soil. It has to be due to the fact that these are in NYC with crazy high expenses. Too bad we can't get a tournament like that here in the midwest where it's easily accessible and expenses would be cheaper.

Rooms in Queens are available for $40/night on Airbnb... eat food from the supermarket and it's no more expensive than going anywhere else.

Snooker players use stun to widen the angle...
...pool players are more liable to use spin to do the same thing.
I prefer the spin way even at snooker...but sometimes balls are in the way...
...so it’s a good shot to have in your repertoire.

To me 'stun' had always implied a dead ball on contact, which only takes the tangent line

looks like it will be 8-8 here-yes it is

9-9 now

10-9 Ronny

Top (non-Filipino) players almost universally also use precise stun to move their ball around the table, as the CB, when hit crisply, naturally picks up the outside english it requires to move around the table.

It's why Niels Feijen looks like he never missed a ball in his life, and it always dead in line, and why more "artistic" players tend to have to make recovery shots after slightly overcooking their target. This slight overhitting is from using spin where it is not necessary.

I always took it to mean the cue ball is sliding at contact. The CB can also have backspin/topspin whilst sliding, which is where you get "stun follow" from.

It is when the CB was sliding up to contact, "stuns" off the OB at the normal 90 degrees, and then bends forward or backwards off the tangent in accordance with whether it was stun follow or stun draw.

It isnt going to go forward unless it has topspin-same for bending backwords-has to have backspin. This is the basic physics of pool as explained in 'Byrne's Standard Book of Pool and Billiards and many more.'

Here is an example of what Canucks tend to call stun-follow.
...so many variations when the shot isn’t dead in
