I remember about 4 years ago I played Shane 10/7 in his home room. I was playing really well and had him stuck most of the night before he won the last three games before they closed the room. I've played him twice since then, and his game has gotten much better. He should be on this site studying with the rest of us. Give Shane about 10 more years and he'll come around to see 1p as the greatest game there is
What he doesn't realizeis the big spots he can give up. And he can more Than winning half the nine ball tournaments. money. He can give out big spots and when. But he can give out way bigger spots than any other player. Because of his shooting ability. But he wont give those spots out. Because he doesnt no if he can win or not.
And I no the one pocket people especialy the players. No you can win more money playing one pocket than playing nine ball. And nine ball players don't match up with each other like one pocket players. A player like Rosie or Dippy Dave. And many players like that.
They will play one pocket but they wont play nine ball. All the none players Like All Sherman. And the players who were a little behind the champions. Like Paul Bruce Loff Freddie Salome. Especially older people rich with money. They will gamble at one pocket. But not in nine ball.
Shane is at his peek wright no. We will see if he holds on to that position.Or he might look for some new excitement. Once people get to the top . There is a let down. Because they reached there goal. And don't have anything else to prove. The love for the game could keep him in pool for the rest of his life. You never no what a person will do.
People can change over night. They might run into something the like or enjoy more. Everybody. Will change if they run into something better. Or something they like more. And it does not have to be money.
If you don't believe me what I said about Shane I said years ago. Let Scott or Efren give Shane 9 to 8 and let me couch him. And he can play them for whatever they want to bet. I seen then that Shane had the ability and talent.And he is showing that and proving that to all the players. And all I herd that Shane cant play one pocket.
But players like Shane Corry Duel they don't play one pocket like the rest of the players. They are creative and have there own imagination. And they are very good.Some times they get carried away. But over all what they are doing they are learning. Ans both players are very dedicated. And shoot good and play good position.
What I would teach them they will never learn. Because there mind thinks different. If you had the top 10 one pocket players on this site. They would all give different shots to shot. Bugs Ronnie Taylor Efren Jersey Red Corn Bread red. They all have different abilities. And they think different. Just like Scott Efren Cliff Gab Shannon.
They all have a different style. The player who plays more of a solid style of a game . Plays more like the old time players. Like Bugs Ronnie and Taylor. And Cliff will lock up the game.
If you ask all these players. how are you going to play the game. To win. What answer do you think you will get from each player. Most of them will say. They will look for a shot and run and out. Because they rely don't no what they are looking to do in the game.
Efren is the most talented. And has a edge because he shots great with either had. And he plays position playing one pocket. That the other players don't play. I could tell you how he plays position that other players don't play. One last Comment for the people who want to learn.
Efren Has the best brake playing one pocket. And he brakes the balls the same way all the time. He makes a good brake. He is very good and consistent. The cue ball and the balls almost brake the same way all the time.
If Shane was reading this post. He would copy Efren brake. I no a lot of people will look at Efren brake. And Brake the same way. Its Easy And simple and each brake is the same way. When a player is a winning player. You need to see what he does to win.
You can do the same thing. And your game will improve. Let me no tomorrow what you think about his brake. I give him the number one brake. Its the same every time.And the cue balls and the object balls. I am giving you good solid advice. Efren has no weaknesses. He does everything great. Position Controlling the cue ball makes all his shots. Excels under pressure. And does the impossible.
He does something silly. For no reason. Than he smiles and scratches his head.Like he does't understand what he did. That's it for tonight. Good Night Have some good pool dreams.
