Thank you Drew - great commentary. Two strategic errors in the last rack from my point of view. At 24:37 SL3 had 3 balls on the rail and chances are he’s not running out and Shon probably had one or more innings to play with. One of my personal 8 ball rules in situations with one ball remaining is to keep it away from other balls for easy access. I would attempt to cut the stripe into the lower left corner with the intention of leaving an easy shot next time at the table if I miss. At 34:04 with opponent on the hill and a tough angle to the side pocket, you can’t slow roll or you lose if you miss. I would have attempted a distance safety trying to put the cue ball near (but not in) the upper right corner.
Mike had good form, you could see his SL3 coming out tho. Should not be long for him to be a 4. That last game was a hoot to watch, I was laughing my head off... that poor stripe was doing everything it could to stay safe.
from first match, I would say Mike has had some play time on the table and judging by his ball selection. He will go up in skill when he gets some games in. Solid SL4

@@nickg9021 agreed. I think he’s already a SL-4 now honestly 🤔
Enjoyed the stream. Feel like the music volume could have been lower.
Thanks Max! I agree! Music volume is something I’ve tweaked going forward in newer videos 🤙🏼
