@@co7366 instead of kicking to make a good hit I don't understand why he didn't just take a foul and move the cueball over so shane can't leave him on the point. Literally nothing good could come out of the shot (kicking at the object ball). If he took a foul another ball would spot up (2 then on the spot) which forces the other player to either take a foul or split the balls up on the spot. There is no 3 foul rule in bank pool (one pocket has an optional 3f rule)
@@bladjeajfk4jakjd True, i think he tried to leave the cue ball against the rail and make the object ball. Misjudged it i guess concentration fell. He was getting very frustrated too

Inside English which is the right side of the cue ball in this case shortens the angle and so does hitting it hard. Meaning he can overcut the 5 ball and the English and speed compensate for it.
I was thinking the same, but i believe they are close to the table and don't want to be too loud out of respect for the players, so they don't hear them / distract them.

So cool that you guys post matches 6 months after they happen....y'all need a little work on that market dept, or at least to realize that th people that want to stream it live PPV aren't the same people that will just wait for it to come out on youtube....but if ya keep this up they will end up being the same people.
John Morra is right-handed and used to play right-handed, but switched to playing left-handed a few years ago because of chronic neck/shoulder issues on his right side. He still breaks right-handed because he needs the extra power.
Similar to 10, 9 ball once you hit object ball something has to hit a rail. if you accidentally pocket a ball it gets spotted. first to bank 5 balls in wins.
Shane is a great player, but like so many of today's pros, he is tediously methodic and usually boring to watch. I prefer to watch truly exciting players such as Earl Strickland, despite his occasional temper tantrums, as well as Francisco Bustamante, Efren Reyes, Alex Pagulayan and former greats like Mike Siegel, Keith McCready and even hustlers like Rudolph Wanderone, aka Minnesota Fats. One of my favorite memories was watching Alex Pagulayan flip a coin for $5,000 after he had just won that amount playing the ghost one late night after the regular tournament ended. By the way, he lost the flip and shrugged it off. If you are not a gambler, you have no business in a pool room.
12:46 not gonna lie, that looked pretty smooth
SVB went straight ninja flipping his cue in position hehe
i don’t understand why morra would have responded that way

Beast Van Boening.
Perfection.
I like the eclipse analogy,,I play a lot of bank pool that is an excellent way to explain cue ball coverage of an object ball.
40:18, He allows you to use the top third of the cue ball". Awesome.

New to this bank pool. I'm assuming they are not allowed to do kick shots.?
Yes correct
*_C'MON 4 GAMES TO WIN FORMAT. CAN YOU GET ANY WEAKER. BEAN COUNTERS IN THE OFFICE DESTROYED POOL ON TELEVISION_*
SVB is the best all around pool player on the planet
@13:55 can someone tell me how did he avoid the double kiss here ?
Inside English which is the right side of the cue ball in this case shortens the angle and so does hitting it hard. Meaning he can overcut the 5 ball and the English and speed compensate for it.
is it allowed to use an aiming system with the cue ?
I would think so.
Yes it is in every category. The only thing you cannot do is mark a spot with chalk or anything like that.
Yes, but you can never let go of the cue, for example lay it out on the table with no hands involved. This results in a foul.
@@ShinyhunterKeck 35:00 SHANE BLATENTLY MARKS THE CLOTH
@@bonecoldmusic he didnt mark it, he was just measuring the angle.
Might check the volume on your mikes next time,,too low. when an ad came up it almost blew my speakers. :0/

I watched this because I'm an SVB fan, but I find it rather interesting how Morra breaks right handed but plays the rest of the table left handed
John Morra is right-handed and used to play right-handed, but switched to playing left-handed a few years ago because of chronic neck/shoulder issues on his right side. He still breaks right-handed because he needs the extra power.
He is ambidextrous. Coz he can play with both hands.
What’s the rules¿
Oscar Jr ye i wanna ask too
The first person to bank 5 balls wins
Similar to 10, 9 ball once you hit object ball something has to hit a rail.
if you accidentally pocket a ball it gets spotted.
first to bank 5 balls in wins.
@Tato Makharashvili
Great catch, so just has to make contact.
Sorry about that.
Tato, he contacts the two on the way to the rail.
so when Morra had the 5 in the corner at 4-4 why wouldnt you follow it in and spot 2 balls?
he would lose a point
If John Morra doesn't have a nickname yet, I'd like to suggest one. The Android,,it fits!
They call him mr smooth.
Mr Robot
John breaking righty, shooting lefty?
He used to shoot right took a break from pool came back shooting left something to do with his neck or shoulder so im guessing he still breaks right
12:02 "holy shit" 🤣
Buen video
I like the one commentators jokes. lol Frozen like the movie.
Shane cleaning up! Wow!
The one announcer is annoying.
Adam haswell is trash at pool lol oohhh yea I'm the champ

What a stupid comment, usually gamblers end up in the street.
Mike Sigel is boring as hell to watch, talks too much instead of actually playing, that’s why he has that dumbass nickname
