    I just like Morra’s precision play,same as when he played right handed. Don’t even notice if he’s a little
    slow.
    Of course SVB looks great and I hope he wins 5 or 6 World Titles before he lets up.
    As always,Thanks to
    Predator for this great tournament and equipment and for using the correct pool ball colors.
    Keep it up!

    Now I have a complaint. Game 5 , shot of the game so far, camera doesn’t ever even come close to the table. And no later view from another camera.
    It just amazes me how we been doing this for about 35 years now and every year they got to learn everything
    all over again.
    All you production crews, Just Bite the
    Bullet, and pay Pat
    Fleming to get it done
    right the first time.
    Gotta be cheaper in the long run. And we
    get to watch the pool

    I complained about lack of replays on a game a couple days ago. Some dope said rewind the video. Well here it just happened again and it has no video because it did not get caught, just the lay for the next shot. And at the end you always replay the last shot. Wow. Some dude really does a great job of capturing that. He should start a cap on EVERY shot and replay the great ones or the ones the cameraman misses from the top view... SOMETHING. At 32:27 the cameraman should have followed the cue ball to see the continued table action. These camera persons need to actually know the game, and the producer in the booth as well. Nice, high quality video, but come on, guys. Get Predator to pay for some camera work lessons or something. Going back to the right ball colors is a nice touch and shows that you recognize the fact that modern cameras "see" better in lower light. Nice white lighting here too. /Rant_Off

    I had the chance to see these guys and Tyler Styer up and close in a small tournament in Sacramento a few months ago. They are all very intense when playing a match. Shane will relax more and even dose off, and bang balls around and talk to people. John is kind of quiet when not playing. Tyler stays amped up all day without relaxing and will pound breaks for hours between matches. Shane usually manages to pull out the win, I overheard a fan talking to Shane. The biggest fish Shane ever caught is 40 inches. According to him.

      @@raskolnjikov1you’re either wrong or misunderstanding what he’s saying by approach. When he says approach, he means how he addresses the ball, his pre-shot routine. Which should always be the same. Having a routine makes sure that you don’t miss any steps in your set up and it’s just a few less steps you have to actively remember if you have it in your muscle memory due to routine.
      You should approach the ball the same every time.

    The play of these two players borders on phenomenal. On the other hand the videographer really sucks. I want to see the entire shot, not the players head or arm or back while the ball goes around the table and falls in the pocket (or not). I much prefer watching the table instead of following the player around the table, especially when you end up to where you can’t see the whole shot. But both players did a great job.
