    As a friend of Dan I can tell you his lesson from his own words:
    "Theres a reason why you dont play slow... It increases the chances of getting a kick".
    And hes right.
    Lesson learned...
    He will chase SVB some other time. in my opinion.
    Till then, he made himself a great name.
    Hes truly a colossal player.

    Dan played a great game and probably made that shot, far more often then he missed it. He is playing against Shane and regardless of your skill level, that’s gonna weigh some on your conscience. I think he just didn’t stay down on that last shot. We’ve all been there. Also, I was impressed how Dan wasn’t sped up by Shane’s higher paced shooting. Sometimes that can throw a player off. Well done to both

      Very much. Watching him made me realize the vast difference in how we play. He's gotten the pre shot routine and everything down so good it's robotic even. Me I'm the ghost of Ralph Greenleaf, Fast Eddie, & Triple Smarts Fats all in one. I shoot perfect balancing on one leg with another in the air, sometimes not even looking at the table. I do all kind of beautiful masse and elevated shots just for appeal.

      Yep, he poked at the nine ball instead of his usual nice stroke. Since my own shot routine lets me down every time I lift my head up during the shot I always look for the consistency in the pro players routines. Dan has a real nice stroke, but he needs a little more consistency in his shot routine: 1) a couple of times he was moving during the shot even if he didn’t miss, 2) the aforementioned poke, and 3) some times he moves his right foot when lining up the shot and most times he doesn’t. Nice guy, and IMHO he will be a star if he keeps at it.

      @smallybiggzzz ปีที่แล้ว +3

      For sure his pool IQ is up there. There was a beautiful play early I think rack 3 or 2 where the 7,8,and 9 were on the table and he easily can make the 7 but had tough shape to setup a good leave to make the 8 and 9 without traveling around the table. So he does something most wouldn't have done and instead of making the 7 and either using a ton of inside english to stun off the rail to get on the 8 or come 4 rails around the table. So he makes the 7 and brilliantly bumps the 9 to move it perfectly for a easy shot on the 8. He honestly almost made the 9 and for a second I thought he was looking at the two for one and tried the carom on the 9 because it was almost in the pocket in the way of the 8. But after watching him play I see how sharp he is. I'm just lost why in rack 6 he breaks and makes the 6 I think then SVB comes to the table. He can see the 1 and its not an easy make but doesn't touch the cue ball on a push out. It happened earlier also. So Idk if he's just pushing and Shane just let's it sit where it lies or what

      Maybe regarding balls past headstring on break. If illegal no push is allowed. Hence him kicking the one. Or alternatively he could put Shane back in.
      However Shane moved three over the line including the yellow one ball came in and out the kitchen. They may have overlooked this.

    I'm confused why in rack 6 Dan breaks and makes the 6 on the break and SVB comes to the table. I think I saw another rack earlier where the same happened. Made the one ball in the side then looked like a tough spot on the two so I just figured he pushed without actually touching the cue ball and passed to SVB. Rack 6 my only assumption would be the same that he doesn't like shape on the 1 ball and pushes but can't hear the call out. Is this some weird spot that Dan gives SVB lol. What is going on lol

      I think 2 balls have to pass the head string for it to be a legal break... something like that. Otherwise play switches to opponent.

    • @mikethebeginner
      @mikethebeginner ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It’s called the 3-point rule. A total of three balls have to either be pocketed or go up past the headstring or it’s an illegal break. The purpose it to make players break forcefully.

    • @charleschiera5048
      @charleschiera5048 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      3point rule. Three balls either made or beyond the headstring on the break. He made two balls on the break but no other ball crossed the headstring. That’s an illegal break so your opponent has choice of play or hand it back to you.

  • @bgjb-r1499
    @bgjb-r1499 ปีที่แล้ว

    He missed similar shots earlier in the match. Obviously this was for the win. The bigger battle is getting those demon’s in between the ears to stop talking to you before taking that last shot. Another reason why every ball on the table must be pocketed. Sometime you see guys playing for money and with 2 or 3 balls on the table they’ll give the opponent the game.

      No way! keep that crap out of the game.whats wrong with seeing a little character in the game.z shot efren made would never have been a thought with a shot clock.

      @@hustlinao1488, you can't compare 1 pocket with 8,9 & 10. Chess and checkers. Efren would have made is Z shot, but quicker because he's a *Genius.* If the sport of billiards is to grow, attract more sponsors and money, they can't let people like Dan walk around a table for 3 minutes when the shot is obvious. Also, the two biggest games in pool: Mosconi Cup and Derby City have shot clocks.

    • @mikethebeginner
      @mikethebeginner ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I watch pool on my iPad. Then I can double tap 10 seconds ahead until I see something has happened, then back 10 seconds to watch the shot. That way I don’t have to watch all the standing around.
      I think slow play is a real problem in LOTS of sports, pool included. I watched a match the other night with Josh Filler and a guy I don’t know named “Ragnar,” and they both played briskly. They weren’t rushing, they just got to it, only taking time when they really needed to. It was such a pleasure compared to watching most players today.

      Agreed@@mikethebeginner. Spectators will not pay to be lulled to sleep by slow play! Most of the top players get to it on obvious shots. If your opponent locked you up with a good safe, I get it, but Dan walks around the table on obvious, easy shots.
