Looks like the balls are sliding a lot or maybe I should say spinning like on new cloth that is very slippery. I see a lot of hesitation before draw or follow catches.
Thank you. Johnnyt

costly errors by John Morra...Morra is going to cost Canada with the way he is playing.
Thorsten and the two ball slice off the foot rail.
Just now, when Thorsten was partially snookered on the two ball against Pagulayan and Morra, he swerved the cue ball by putting side spin on it, and made the two ball.
While it looked like a great shot, I have to wonder if it was a great shot or a fortunate shot. It appeared that the side spin would allow the cue ball to go under the two ball and kick it safely down table, instead, he pockets the two ball.
What do you think? Intentional pocketing of two ball or the result of attempting a kick on the two ball and fortunately cutting the two ball into the pocket?

I think it was a missed kick Joey. I believe he was trying to spin the CB enough to come off the bottom rail and make a full hit on the 2.
I know the shot with a ball on the middle diamond, ball spotted and the CB directly in line with those 2 balls on the middle diamond and loading up the CB with inside to go around the spotted ball.
But the 9 ball was about half the distance between rail and spot on TH's shot. And that makes the shot that much more difficult to judge the curve around the 9.
That 's my case anyway for he actually played the kick!!
If the cue ball was further from the rail and he could have used left center I'd say he played it. However with
the cue ball close to the rail and him hitting down on it and using low left I'd say he was trying to come of the rail and kick it.
