Weeelll..
Not to take anything off from Tang, I still must say that Corey for sure knows how to WIN
At least he did, I know this is years ago but Tang hasn't been there lately either. He won five big ones in 6 months that year:

lmfao, he just made him his b*&^&tch at 10 ball, but 9 ball would have been different right? lol
and if Yang had any balls he'd get his ass out of Taiwan and put up his own cash in Manila or USA

shane doesnt break 9 ball like corey ......i think everyone would agree shane has one of the best 10 ball breaks goin........even more so if the table breaks good...........honestly i think shane just had a couple good days and corey had a couple bad days.....nothin more nothin less

9 ball and 10 ball are completely different games......just my opinion
u cant be serious
If you really believe Tang can beat Corey, you sir can bust me and basically all of Ohio. Since everybody thinks Shane is better than Corey, why dont you guys put him in playing Corey in 9 ball, same format. I didnt think so. So lets all just slow down in annointing Shane the best player in the world. He played great. He smashed Corey. If he beats Corey at 9 ball, then I will be the first to congratulate him and pay.Fatboy said:
so Shane's break advantage is worth 30 racks? lol

You're right. Shane breaks 9-ball like Shane. And he's got one hell of a break. Corey can soft break all he wants but there's nothing like hitting the rack hard and squatting your rock. Let's face it. Corey's out. There's a new kid in town.
correct me if Im wrong but seems like back when Cory was winning all the time in 9-ball was when he had the soft break going.
and nobody wanted no part of him, then all tournament promoters change their rules to no soft breaking-so many balls had to go past the side pockets I think really dont remember all I know it just worked for him, because Cory was torturing people in tournaments, Earl walked out of a tournament because Cory was BBQing his ass in one of the last Camel Pro Tour tournaments.

Craig, interesting story but incorrect. Earl walked out because he was unhappy with the way Scott was racking the balls. He was only one game behind at the time, and breaking.

Yang !
No body mention Yang got the most accurate jumpshot in the world IMHO, and great safety.

It seems to me that it's really unwarranted for anyone to say that Corey's day is over and Shane is way better, just based on one match (granted a very long match). All of us who are players know what it is like to have a bad match, and how difficult it can be to get out of that.
And the break IS at the very least a huge factor in 9-ball and 10-ball, since you can keep control of the table by making balls, and at the high level most everyone can run out from almost anywhere. So yes, it can make a very substantial difference in the games won.
Are you people certain that Corey in dead stroke could not put on a show like Shane did? I'm sure not certain of that. I'm not taking anything away from what Shane accomplished - he clearly is a world-class player now and played excellent pool. But you have to take far more matches into account (and other games) to say that some player is better than another, or that some player's (i.e. Corey) time is over. For example, Efren has proven over and over that he is the best one-pocket player in the world, and Earl proved in his prime that he was the best 9-baller. But it's naive to make these bold claims about Corey based on this one match. Just like it would be naive to claim that Yang is definitely the best player and Orcullo's time is over based on their race to 60 match.
