ball

three to 4 requires a bit of maneuvering with the cue ball, probably left straight over the left hand angle, that's not easy to do with this double ball with the cue ball maneuvering away, it's very straight here, which It looks like we're going to draw. the cue ball all the way back to the pink four I mean it's going to be the shot of the match if she makes it I don't think the follow through is possible oh it's possible oh good technique I love it good tip high nice position driving or queuing to the cue ball not pushing but really stroking the cue ball so your topspin you envisioned would really show after you made the three ball beautiful now you can keep things in check and hopefully that it was the most or the highest quality shot from this rack nice angle on the five i like to have a 10 degree angle on the six to stun it a bit so the brown seven rolls up right on the cue ball here so what such a nice smooth start from Tina here I mean Jasmine has to be considered a favorite but a lot of very capable shooters on the European circuit especially if you have a German flag behind your name there is always an expectation of quality there you can see that As I mentioned before, the

semifinal

players will have had some wins under their belt and that's visible here, you can almost feel that it's not a first round matchup where players have to adjust to a tournament and new table conditions and but this Tina seems very settled now it's a good tie oh yeah I needed a good full blow on that eight ball to get the biggest tie because she had a little more angle and now she wanted to cut this one on the rail tester and there will be any hope in Jasmine's head. this is not going to be as direct as possible literally oh he hits the side pocket knuckle disappointing he grabs

tina

's kid he smiles nice but he wasn't amused and

tina

's head the moment that was an excellent opportunity to do a beautiful opening rack in place of Jasmine with a chance and then we go also breaking right, right, one nil to lose ocean, Jasmine Ocean's straight, focused face trying to slice the single ball, make that the two blues made a ball hit both knuckles out of the side pocket and not sure if she has any sight. between the brown ball seven and nine, I think it does look like it, but what do you do, even if he can hit it?

There is no obvious wall of balls or any balls to hide behind. With push outs, good advice is to create as much distance as possible and often not leave the incoming player and an open pot, but rather a safety opportunity. Try to extend the game as far as you can beyond a ball as a push out player. I left Jasmine on the bench and that would give her an automatic position at three, so I don't think she could also play, save, half the ball on the left side of the hit of a ball and drive the cue ball behind the brown seven ball towards the middle. from the table I don't think I'm going to bank and shoot here never mind keep things good here don't want to miss an easy opportunity after that Miss by Tina on the first shelf pretty wise though the bank looked attractive you wouldn't have gone for that I think which would have done especially with a guaranteed position, so here, because Jasmine left the ball in the middle of the table, she only has almost three balls with a chance to hit the ball. it was a little bit wider than that so safety paid off for Jasmine here three to four key shots and then six to seven seven to eighth I'll need a little cue ball movement as I look ahead first things first about a 20 30 degree angle on the three ball so you're going to roll your cue ball straight at the angle you want and now you can just zoom in basically so great cue ball placement on ball in hand it gave you the desired angle every time and all it did was bring your cue ball closer with each revolution now would you love to bring the cue ball back to where your hitting hand is or your head is now past six o'clock ok because now even though he's on the sideline a little bit Cube is going to move to the left now he wants a minimum angle on the five because any kind of big angle on the cue ball would collide with the seven so he might end up lifting and hitting the ball white straight to the left after he hit the four ball yeah a little bit of elevation so he can turn it just before the side pocket into the big five hole shot all I saw was he hit the four ball on the right side of the pocket which means she probably hit the four ball thinner than she wanted which is why I thought the position could go wrong but it's definitely not a great position here imagine she plays the six on the side she needs the angle and this is not now he wants to play a classic three cushion position around the black ball and back to the cushion near the green six odd to make his cue ball maneuverable to the eight ball has a little angle and we will probably add some top spin right to your cue ball and we'll follow after hitting round seven.

Cube will chase the brown seven to the short rail and then the top right spin will take over hitting the ball Long lane and spin back to center table Good execution Always had beautiful technique Powerful shot Well rehearsed and, you know, still is quite a young lady, but what a veteran of international billiards she already shares. I mean, I saw her when she was about eight nine years old. old in an International Tournament in Austria really crazy and then she had exactly the same game face that she is showing now serious determined and really competitive all right more angle on the nine ball no scratching Danger on the cue ball should be able to hit this beautiful center ball foreign just focus on cutting for 2nl advantage this nine ball beauty so i remember tina had a lovely opportunity on the eight ball to make it one nil and put pressure as it is oh made a legal break made one ball on the brake and two balls low beyond the line from where the players are breaking now there is a theoretical 2-9 combo, but that really needs to be done. the ball will take you towards the brown seven, so you may have a double chance, but do we have any safety options?

Alternatives, of course, you can still push. I don't think she does. the white ball behind the black eight after hitting the blue as I said the two ball cannon towards the brown seven and that was good so now it requires I think another one of those well another deep hit hitting the two ball so straight as you can and get the cue ball straight to where it is now she's going to use the follow through again so i was able to hit the two ball half yeah yeah that's the danger isn't it? first lane Tina smile she won't be happy about this this was her chance to get back in the game referee keeping a close eye on the players under a 30 second shot clock she is going to bank this is not classic splitting the balls or hitting the ball half ball I am putting the cue ball and the object ball on opposite sides of the long rail.

It's pretty good. Sometimes you give up on a bank or fast break, but from the way the balls are set up now, I think the bank could cause a double kiss. because you have to hit it too hard to get it done and then the cue ball won't be able to get out of the way before the three ball hits it back in a diamond shape or she might if you tilt it hard you can hit it a little more to the right oh, too wide so exactly the same shot at the same exact spot but hitting it 30 40 harder would have straightened the three ball more and it would have gone in so I think I should have hit a little harder right that's Paul patina and pressured by your shop causing you to have made some mistakes but two balls are still on the first rack and this three ball here shows a really good eye for pots and good hitting capabilities so a little bit of an angle on this five ball the position is not easy no she could draw this but she seems to be a nice girl now once the cue ball follows the top left of the cue ball once the cue ball passes at least let's say the middle line of the pool table that point and from then on it's good and now she has the right angle on the eight ball so it's very natural that it's a cable back table it's half the deficit two zero to two one miss

vogelman

with the spread on the Q is ok game number four goes up to Jasmine to break trying to get the yellow bottom left orange five ball the cue ball from the right side pocket back to the center of the table and that will work fine like this So if you're facing these kinds of angles your cue string straight on the sideline and of course then out, you might want to apply a bit of a left spin to bring the cue ball back to the center of the table now that the pink four doesn't go to the brown seven, I mean, I think it would. also go to the bottom right corner so you can keep an angle on the three ball or you're going to play the four seven combo I guess if you have a half pocket or two thirds pocket since you can keep a straight in position now you could go for that too because position four to six is ​​pretty automatic.

I think he's going for the four ball, not the seven ball. Roll the cue ball a bit because you would have wanted to throw the six on the side. but the weird degree angle on the eight ball makes it a maneuverable cue ball to the nine a little too straight I mean it still works but needs more quality in the cue ball tip position and more quality in your shot, so draw back not scratch on the side and that's too much angle on the nine ball. I'm definitely not where you want to be, although these guys have shot as many nine balls as he remains in place after the break with the squad. personal preference some players like to shoot these in a pocket and sometimes it depends if you are right or left handed or which eye you dominate Jasmine goes bottom right to take a nice 3-1 lead and then it's three one Tina to break and hit the much softer cutting brake is not able to generate a lot of speed not that you have to hit it but you really need to hit it harder to push that corner ball into the pocket and with its break it's like two or three balls going into the top right corner pocket interfering with the corner ball's access to all of Jasmine at a small angle which should be workable now that he could put the short side position on the three ball normally if the three ball is you I know you have more space on one side of the three reds and then on the other you would play position in the bigger space but now I think she will play position in the short box so a good Top Spin in his cue ball is good. as straight as possible or if the angle will increase and that's a little more angle than she wanted solely because the three ball needs a certain kind of velocity to get to the pocket and if she let her cue ball roll that would come out at least to the middle of the table so you can apply a little top right to run between four and nine what was your plan i mean this will work well it's within the realm of possibility of good results and there have been ever Or will there ever be a family of brothers stronger than the oceans?

I mean, are there any that I don't remember right now? I may be overlooking some but you know yes you do have some pairings that are strong pairings but a brother and sister who have been almost equally successful on the world stage in

women

's and men's snooker respectively is pretty amazing already imagine if his mother and father are also good pool players they are not sure if his parents really play pool or they really haven't seen him in any tournament really supporting them I really don't know much about his parents situation, first it was Jasmine,who was the more successful of the two, which got Mark first on the world stage and then Alvin came along and we all know what he's been up to for the last 10+ years.

So what consistency she's shown anyway with her sister, the standout player here, and taking control of the semi-final for a place in the final of the Nine Ball Women's European tour in Velthoven, The Netherlands, it's all going pretty well for Jasmine. or continue. no issues i have to say she is creating everything herself would have stopped had she been a bit closer on the nine but the 3-1 lead she has built up so far so many balls tucked would bet my money on her to do this one and take a 4-1 lead in race seven here we go so i've seen it break and she better squeeze things Jasmine to break yeah it's still Tina's break there so look at Jasminebreak much harder oh the corner ball was kissed good luck with more speed on the cue ball it gets more speed on the object balls they bowled but they didn't abide by the Three Point Rule quickly explained a Three Point Rule to the counter-attacking players Break very soft balls and press and maintain the position in the one The three points must be accumulated in the serve and this can be done with each ball made and with the balls that roll beyond the line that determines the area so the top half of the balls from the top half of the table have to go through to score points and Jasmine only made six past that line and made the eighth so two out of three collected means she he gives control of the table to Tina, who will be more than happy to accept outright. so screwing naturally would take her right into the pink four red three oh whoa oh just that revolution either it's not an easy kick to hit or you normally like to kick it past the left past the four is you go to Swerve but then there's no Really disappointing security after that good position on the two, but what are you doing here attacking?

She could throw the five ball, so take them out of the three, but the fives need a very specific hit point for them to play safely. maybe she can hit half the ball and hide the cue ball behind the orange five, what would they do here? all open for Tina and with the straight at three to start now let's see if she can gain court position hold rest position here most or all semi and professional snooker players wear extensions these days i mean in snooker it has been it's been like this for decades but this way players can avoid having to use the return, yes it's a bit of distance on the six but it's a maneuverable cue ball although naturally the cue ball will go straight to the short rail, which means it will also go straight out so she needs the top left tip to guide the cue ball to the center line of the table on the left hand side and that's a little bit in the middle now that will do yeah like that that she chose to play the position for the corner pocket.

I think she is capable of shooting this. and avoid scratching in your side pockets oh well so actually you might if you can't then you haven't it will go well it could be the start of a run back for Tina Vogelman to seven she's looking for her second shelf. and it's your break next though remember you've been breaking pretty smoothly and you haven't been able to oh there's a little more power in the balls but only one ball made and only all seven or both balls are crossing the line brake, so you only have four and seven just have to touch the brake line or finish to count and then these two points count plus the made ball we're going to open that will be enough to comply with the three point break rule, ok so she'll roll this in accept a little more angle on the three ball can't do much about it now you can see the umpire waving his hand up to the sky he's holding a stopwatch and his raised hand indicates a new period begins 30 second time within which players have to take their next shot now, this is not what she was playing for. good very good I want to say that I am impressed by the punch of her and the ability to encapsulate her.

I've never seen Tina play, but I like what I'm seeing. and run now top right top left into the cue ball cue alright The focus is still etched on his face he tells me no shan it's been a good catch hasn't it guided our Cube everywhere and that will work fine? the noise coming in the background is just a jump going down near my house when tina takes her third rack so skip to game number nine oh let down with that scratch i mean it definitely wasn't some breaking up foreign combination cut to start any other puzzle this match or on this rack doesn't seem like it although the three ball needs particular positioning of the two yes quite a bit of cue ball maneuver involved here it's a good shot I think it will try to stun the cue ball of the drawer between the red. the ball and the right side pocket or the top side pocket as you're currently viewing it and then it bounces a bit at a 20-40 degree angle oh that's overdrawn so the cue ball doesn't lie so that she may have aimed low but eventually she hit the center ball quite a bit so she was afraid of this shot because she needed a lot of precision there so she's forced to play it safe unless she wants to tip it oh she's looking at the cut solely because the green six if all three balls don't hit accurately still could make it work in Cuba she'll be torpedoing up and down the table here so up and down from side to side she'll go for the checkers cut and gents he needs speed and that's unless he doesn't unless he's hiding behind the black there's only a few spots on that root of the Cube where he could have been behind the block and got there so Tina your hopes must be going up to the surface he was going to hit the eight ball cover it all the way to the green floor so even that's a bad shot because now tina's ball is in her hand and she can play it to the side oh hi a bit of a disappointment here for yasmin later from that 4-1 lead, will it now be 5-4?

Yeah I think there's a shot to the side or top corner here it takes a bit of an angle oh she's playing it safe it was hard to tell I think one guy looked like it was but it was possible Of all Anyway, I think Yasmine is going to hit this. and there's a lot of hit points on this pink four that you'll get him to come in with he can go right into it he can still hit the left rail too so opportunity created by Tina oh that little point that hindered yasmin ocean and snooker on the four ball, that's crazy, boom, you got the encapsulation angle in the sixth, didn't you?

Yes it did now 20 degree angle on the seven ball which makes the seven ball a very doable putt but still gives you a maneuverable cue ball you don't want it smaller or bigger just like that Cube in full position on the black straight or back A 10 to 20 degree angle on the black will make an even bigger angle you can accept if you accept a bigger angle then you don't have to hit the seven ball so hard that it makes the pocket be friendlier it's so hard Tina it was a bit like a hit instead of a hit oh and she went back to five four or six three I mean what a foreign difference after this nine ball a game away from a place in the final trying to get the three red bottom left to check that one of them isn't necessarily her doing the backstage on the european tour they don't use a template they hit them with a template before the tournament so they don't have one plastic template on the table which I quite like but after playing a lot those little indentations that the balls drop into at the beginning of the tournament can miss a bit and they may not all be touching more anyway, you have them in a table, although looking to apply killer safety, but that's exposing the one, but the cue ball got second prize by placing it behind the nine ball.

She can hit this one by simply guiding our cue ball between the four nines. oh, I mean, she needed a lot of spin to the right to avoid hitting that double ball and she did it, so he's been with an open table and done things here and gotten into his teeth European Tour Finale I don't know how many European Tour finals is he played or European Championship finals he has or the medal he's had but it's quite a hefty amount so it's not ideal on the four because his cue ball rolls towards the brown seven so i think he's going to skewer his cue ball south of the brown the seven hits the rail and crosses back hits the long left rail and accepts a slightly longer shot on the orange five so now he can go straight to the six and get our Back cue ball for a position on the seven may have a bit of a right side angle, let's see what he chooses to do and see how he executes a more required rack to set up the end. towards the rail and then back to where Q-tip now is a little weird but that alone will do it he has a minute angle on the seven ball he backs off a little bit as center table weird so this Medium straight 9 ball for Jasmine is a great Tina Vogelman and reaching the final of the European tour in Feltov in the Netherlands.

Here we go. Keep your aim straight. Drive the cue straight through the middle of the target and that's yes. My idea is the victory against Tina Vogelman. a hug and we appreciate her company let us know in her comments her thoughts and join us soon for another match on net billiards
