MAX EBERLE VS SHANE VAN BOENING - 2023 DERBY CITY CLASSIC BIGFOOT 10-BALL CHALLENGE

hard to come by and that reign is only for a while longer unless he can repeat right after this event the world 9

ball

championship starts in Poland a lot of these guys will go straight from Louisville to Warsaw you too yeah yeah yeah , I'm going home for a day, about 18 hours. I think I went to Poland afterwards, so get yourself some clean clothes and, on the way, yeah, a few hugs and kisses. It's funny. I spoke to Shane yesterday for just a few minutes. I saw him and last week, I guess I saw a match of his against Kachi and the European tour when he coached the final and I saw him once.

Then I watched it again just to make sure that when I played it to Shane I said go watch that game. I said he's probably the best backswinger in the entire game I've ever seen in my life. Imagine now you know he can't fall. chain, you know whatever he does well, absolutely, but I mean it was like premium and he said he was going to go see it, so you know he's what I would consider a real professional, well, disgrace, he did something, oh. look at the seven, which is a great example of fourth and eighth versus four and a quarter, that

ball

was spinning in a useful way and still hanging.

I'm sorry for what you were going to say. I'm just saying I know he's a consummate professional, you know, I mean the fitness and the work ethic and the discipline and the respect for the sport, you know, and I just don't know, he does so many things so well, he's a great example and anyone says they try. to emulate him, I do it all, yeah, and he's probably the one who prepared the guys to almost surpass him when it comes to training in a sentence, you know, the filler goes a long way, of course, all those great players are playing a lot, of course, Fetters. regime every day practically exercise yes, no no practically yes, every day you can leave it there, yes, first the boring stuff and then move on to more, and I wouldn't doubt that if you are standing in line, it's okay, here you can face this side cross of the Bank. a small tip movement to face the two.

What's up with this shot. I don't think I can get very close to both of them. He's just going to have to back up maybe to the head spot, that would be a decent spot, but sometimes if you're giving a little funny hints, these kind of shots on the fence, you're on the fence and you're going to stay away, especially, he can coming back behind the six, having the five there, those are like two balls that are really useful, yes, good shot, lethal, everyone has noticed the cushion because Shane was aware of the hanging sevens, so he knows there are many plays on that, yeah, it's still estimated to be the best percentage he's going to have to bend this ball behind the nine a little bit maybe I don't know if he'll be able to level out and bounce enough off that cushion with the slick.

I felt that he is going to be close. What determines the outcome of a professional pool match is the volume of unforced errors and that's why Shane is trying. to minimize that by not taking a risky bank that didn't lead the big position, you see him rise trying to get a little Bend, yeah that was always going to be tough and this is what you feel when you're on the Slick if you need a little , just imagine you need more, you know, right there you really need to go a little bit higher with the cue to try to stab it a little bit more, so it was a lot of effort and if the fabric had been more torn, I would have done it.

I have enough men, but it's so slippery that he wouldn't grip, so Jeremy said he had to raise himself up to get a little more attraction. Yes, I'll tell you with all three, it's that easy. Don't know. I guess you'll have to wait. the four sevens instead of playing the one seven, get in that position on those two on the side rail, pretty important, yeah, it just moves north, this is amazing, so two went through the nine, although with the three on the side, it was surprising. He played it, he was trying to run to that mark on the ball, eh, he had a lot of pace on that, unless he was trying to get to the nine, maybe, no, if he doesn't get to the point there, he's way down the table. , doesn't hit. nine heavy I still like the cut cut it seems to me that you are so close to that is I know it is extreme but two what do you think of the two seven is that a possibility I don't know if the forest prevents it in part?

Alright look at this shot what a great shot it was svb yeah now the Eight is a huge ball with the angle it's coming two rails to the side a little bit and this is where you want to float this Mark and take the long combo. Or do you want to try to go through the eight in the place where you are now and in the surrounding area? You know, I don't think I want to go buy the eight. I think you should take the long combo for sure because it's easier to get. yeah otherwise you have to take the risk and maybe miss you know how you hit that side pocket determines the speed of the cue ball if you are way under the four it really is difficult well this is a fun shot because this is where the four of them could continue. behind the seven, so you play the cue ball over the top and maybe miss the four a little bit in case you don't hit them both.

Oh, he hit a dead horse here, so that's going to hang, but he had to turn around to take position. on the five it was necessary, okay, this is where you want to use the hit on the four to actually move the cue ball, unless you're going to turn around, but imagine the cue ball is coming at the same speed as it's coming. That's what you want to feel on that shot, it just caught the forehead hard, it would have taken another white ball foot and that six can go, but it's also slightly impeded if you rise above it, yeah, I think it has.

Dragging this cue ball is not a shot that really matches Shane's technique, so I see he pinched it instead of dragging it, but it will be fine now, this is the part where he doesn't really want to apply the inner English, but he has have to do it because of the 10 and the nine, two cushions to the center Big Shot here, oh I see you ignored the inner English, that's amazing, the ball went into the 4 8 inch pocket and ruined the game, just wanted to make sure from I came into this, I know, but here's the foreigner, no, I get it, he'll come with this here, beautiful, beautiful, super smooth tail action, you're talking about the slow backward movement, there it was, yeah, I don't know if we can continue with the repetition. which was fantastic and the thing about Shane's backswing is that it's never going to be as slow as Tyler's or anything like that, but as long as he doesn't swing as hard, you know, yeah, that's when his transition is really the best and everyone really , that's exactly a great point, everyone rushes when we're not sure, but you can see it stayed very fluid on those eight pitches, yeah, very good.

Shane bamboni won this tournament in 2014, 2015 and the year he won in 2015 came early. Naturally, this is the first Derby event. He bribed the security guard to let him come in here and take a break from the 5x10 because he didn't have much time there and he won that tournament, so he's a pretty professional guy. and seriously, yes, he was drinking coffee earlier and was trying to remember how many times he had beaten it. I did not do it. They asked me. I didn't think there were three, but he was questioning one or two, of course he was.

I'm guessing there are probably more banners than anyone else in the room. There is a close relationship between him and Alex. I think Efren also has quite a few. Dennis has several. Yes, Arcolo won this the first year. Bigfoot started in 2013 and then chained one of the following two years. Shaw won it in 2016, 2017. Then Roberto Gomez, then my man J.L Chang went in there in 2019. Shaw and Fiddler the last two years, you tall guys, you guys stick together. Well, here really almost in the center of the table, we see it just a little bit. off center, yes, I've seen Max on one of his break points, you know, he uses a lot playing 10 balls, he doesn't distribute anything in a big stretch here on one ball, Shane, a tall man, although he comes to this with quite easily and this is where he can really overcome this and when trying to play the cue ball two reels behind the four actually contains a ball, he is one of the best at that.

He wouldn't try to hit that one very, very far at all, yeah, I like that. when you're close is when you don't play a standard. Oh, let me go this route to be very safe. You really trust your accuracy a lot better, especially Shane, who is one of the best on the ball, in my opinion. Anyway, you have to play a lot of pool, but that particular shot you just played is exactly where aspiring players should practice that shot because it is very sensitive and very difficult to hit and if you practiced it even just for a week followed, you would see tangible benefit and from that closer range instead of a super long range and then you expand once you start to get confident and push the limit that way because Jeremy described it and executed it in a chain and it all seems easy and nice, but move on. and try to let you know and you will see that, yes, tentative and tenuous, it can be good to cut the ball if you move it a lot and try to find the route to get behind the balls when it is on that back rail.

For me, safeties really make the difference in games when it comes to safeties. You know, all the other safeties that players are very good at, but that's the one that seems to come up in crucial moments and where you really have to be excellent. because a lot of times you're just falling behind a ball and we're not on a 10-footer on a nine-footer, so if you miss your miss, your safety, the penalty is bigger and what a combination there and now. he's rewarded for that great confidence a day and then he hits a great combination, the eight ball was right near the corner pocket which certainly gave him some extra confidence with a very pure shot and we're seeing uh bamboni come out to a 3-1 lead after being down 1-0, yeah, and that shot, when you get back to the back rail, you're trying to find cover, you're trying to get the one in space, in case you don't get the one billiards, you leave them. a tough shot yeah so sometimes you overlook that you're close to the ball, well when you're close to it heck you'd move into space just cut it because accuracy is at such a premium.

Shane is trying to figure out speed. I've always said that I always thought his backswing on his brake stroke is the best, he really loads up really well, he transitions well and he's really trying to find some different brake strokes because, uh, that was much more of a break stroke. than his normal pop 21- 8 on the clock, 21-8, the first break was a little over 22. So three in a row for Shane after losing that opening game and I know it's early, but how big is that error in the four looks so far for Max and game number two?

Now it's interesting that two and three are very close to the same position they were in on the last shelf. Wow, obviously the one that's a little thinner than he imagined going three-way back and forth, but with perfect speed. I think he just felt more confident putting the ball in his pocket. let him hit, not kick and all that kind of stuff, sure, oh and if you're on the fence, most players will take a little bit more on the high side of speed versus the low side, yeah, you know, if you're Inside, you always talk about it. building your middle and trying to pivot around it a little less a little more most of the time you're going to go with the aggressive side of things oh that's great it got to the point there what happened there something happened yeah , cut that ball quite a bit. a little bit and he had to get the ball out, you know and like I said, that really weirded you out before.

I wonder if that played on his mind a little bit. Shane has to find a two-lane road here or a real road, maybe behind the three balls. Now I'd throw this one out if I'm one lane behind the three. I think the 710 gives you a lot of opportunities to be safe. He walked, it couldn't have worked better, yeah, it couldn't work better, no matter what. you were rewarded for a great hit Jerry Bryson says it's absolutely worth hitting and you notice how he rolled the ball even though he had a little bit of pace he didn't like shooting it trying to get lucky with all the congestion there and you got a lot can happen good things and now the Eight is a huge ball in the way for Max, he's going to have to look at something different here, this is ugly, it won't be an easy hit at all now that the three made him cut the two.

Escape between the four nines, which is actually a doable kick shot if all three weren't there, the two become a bigger target if you rise up like this instead of trying to arc towards the two you want to flatten on the way out. of the road. and improve this couple percent for him, take the hit, wow, you've been too much. WoW got both balls in hand, bamboni rewarded for a good kick and that's what you know when you understand kicking and hitting the ball after a player mistake that's so big, I mean don't try to go too crazy with the shot knowing that your player just made a mistake, we're on a 10 footer, even if he sold a shot, Max still has to make a good clearance and even though it's early, I suddenly feel like the pressure has shifted exclusively to the maximum in this match if you're a little straight here Mark, maybe a hair of angle, but hmm, it's the difference in the 10 foot,he'll start taking the draw before you get through the six eight, so you can't really stun the draws easily, right.

Shane has the power, but man, you'd have to, this alone has to be the ultimate power if you go. to try to do that, which I don't think are the takes that he chooses, although he's finishing like that's it, so I don't know if he has much of a choice, yeah, beauty, and you see how he allowed it. release, yes, that's the difference in the new felt also in the stun, which like the filler works very well, that light stun to where the cue ball still releases well now can go up the six on the side, the seven is very cuttable just a little bit of speed. control here enough maybe it's a little bit straight a little bit straight here yeah and the problem is for the right if you were to advance from the other side it's not a big deal but you'll have a terrible stretch on the 10 foot shot if it's straight and you have You have to go ahead and cut the seven you're looking at, going back to its point and then coming back, maybe you played the beard on the seven or the 7-10, you know?

As long as he's not trying to get under the seven in some crazy way, I think it's hard to have trouble getting the ball out, but it might not come out with the offensive shot you want, yeah, this is a very small position zone, noticeably if you like. put the pool on the 10 and because you're going to go partially into the eight here with this shot or just barely into the eight, which can take you there too deep, he hit it well and hit the seven, this is the type of shot. You don't want to, honey, when you hit it fine, you don't want it, you want to get over it a little bit.

Yeah, like that, no, don't hit it too soft, you know? and when you play a lot of pool. You get the feeling of those collisions absolutely, yeah, you know, accelerated. Shane recognized that this would be his best chance to capture the game from where the position was. Yes, what he did there simplified the mistake in position a little bit. Shane definitely definitely out. to a good position now repeat that kiss four to one this shot he made four to one here is our shot his Top Spin make the shot use the width of the pocket smooth speed expand that margin of error Vienna put it a little so you can notice how the Tin It has a little more pace on the Slick table, it will slide a little more for you, making the pocket a little bigger.

Now I didn't think it would change the braking point of it, but hey, here we go. Max hits. down on the white ball oh big truck oh nice kiss to save the bucket oh he's going to pocket oh yes he pocketed the ball on the side that is over the corner 18-2 in our brake speed quite consistent with that speed okay , easy enough here just to hit the ball up the rail one, two, three and four, now after that is when you really have to start controlling the cue ball going up and down the table. Several shots went into that a little thin, yeah I didn't. apparently he got a little worried about the move or maybe it got to the point he wasn't anticipating, but it certainly showed up on the table more than he expected, yeah, well, the stroke twice right, so maybe he was a little worried about lift it up. the rail with a little bit thicker bump, yeah it seems to me like you have to get into the 10 which just keeps you perfectly on the three and then you don't have to deal with the five on the end rail if you can slide down the 10, I may not even be able to get past the ten, yes, from here the monitor on the table tells me that I can't get through the store.

Oh wow, he really hit it, that ball grabbed a lot, probably more than I thought, I think. a little high all the ball fouls were playing no jump signals allowed in the 10 ball tournament yes you just want to go just over the side here you don't want to go all the way down Good shot there for Max and this is where the spaces are He He's really going to have to start working on the cue ball and the reason is you know getting to the five is one thing, but with the nine where he is, he can't handle many angles on the six to get back to the seven. he has to be quite focused, maybe a little bit where he is now with the cue ball, yes there is some danger in this shot, this is an important shot, you can land perfect and you can also hook, boy, good speed, yes, and that is. just using your talent just that real speed and this is the shot again it has to be pretty decent here to do the things you know as a routine to judge that speed you also have to hit the heart of the pocket as you anticipate otherwise it changes the speed of the cue ball by at least a foot absolutely and that's where the commitment to the shot is so big to make sure you get that really consistent contact with the object ball.

I don't know what he's going to do with the white ball, here it is. he has a high, is he trying to get under the six and back off? Yes, no, he must think that he can get around nine easily. He marks or draws the cue ball that didn't land right, uh, didn't land right. deal with a nine and that's what I was wondering I guess it's the draw of the ball, well you're going to have to dig down to the left bend the cue ball towards that long rail to your left this is to get what want. off the cue ball, if you're taking it out, you can't, you have to settle for getting over the side rail and making the cut, yeah, I don't even know if you can get there, I think if he calms down he can.

It gets there, if you try to get too much out of it, it doesn't bite enough and maybe goes to the side. Whoa, whoa, that's a long way off, now you can hit a tremendous shot, but that all really depends on the five-ball decision. I think more than anything, I agree that it was more of an error in judgment than an execution. I think it has to go here, um, yeah, if you overplay, you cut this one, you tend to do it more often because the ball always sticks a little bit anyway, but if you cut it too much a lot of times you get a lot of separation between the seven and the white ball.

Yeah, I would probably look at this shot like I can run it to the middle of the table with a couple of rails and I get better contact on the seven, you know what I mean, yeah, like I floated it, I feel like I'm going to miss, he hit it perfectly, what a perfect and pure shot he will have to pay, oh no. and you'll have to call a friend, he's on this, he's on point, hell boy, he's on point, I'm looking right at him, so a three way kick is coming, maybe a little off if he wants to put on a inelegant, is looking to see. if there's enough yes, if it goes this direction I'm looking straight at it and my eyes can deceive me but I think it slipped away oh you're right you're deflecting it I like the three-row kick I thought I think I think this swerves to play it safe, maybe Maybe it just turns on, no, that's as good as anything else.

I mean, he has to do, he'll make Shane come to what you do, yeah, yeah, he wasn't going to go out of his way to make the buck because of the price you pay. for miss, it's so heavy here that it gives you a little bit better percentage of forcing the chain to play from the awkward position, you put the nine on the end rail here or go for the cross side hits, so I don't think you'll cut the The side is very good for me, well here's your answer, yes, whatever Shane chooses, I'm good, look, you know, it's probably a standard shot, but I think especially because Max has had a couple of problems to close the door, a couple of racks here early. to win it, you would have liked to get the cue ball back to the end cushion, but that may be sacrificed a little on the nine, since being Shane, oh, he's rolling it, you imagine it will widen if it goes to the bench with a high ball, this is one that will make you a little nervous, stay pretty soft for that pitch, it's just how the feeling wants, you know, wants to react, that shot wasn't as bad as it seemed, it's just magnified by that with that slick felt and once again, Vanboning was rewarded for a great safety play whether he won the game or not.

I'm just saying he got the first good offensive opportunity from his defensive decision. Yeah, no, you know Shane, you know he won all of those. events, oh god he missed this one, he won all those events with his great play, but also evaluating his opponent sometimes has a little to do with it and he definitely has the game when it comes to that side of things , so it seems. It would be easy, but it's not the playing position, it's one of those where you can hit it any way, but there's only one way to hit it right and get the right action on the cue ball and there are about 19 ways to screw this up. , yeah well when you come across a spot like this or you find it very difficult to go with a high ball clip on the ball so you have to fabricate the position more than just rolling the ball sometimes it's even real first, but it's deep in there, so that may not be good, that's what he did right, that bottom rail, bottom rail first, it's delicate, no, of course, but you know it was all delicate, oh I agree yeah so Max was just making sure the cue ball came down. hold your ground here, shot, good shot, Max 4-2, big 5-1 lead, Shane is disappointed, he let that game slip away after his good safety play, yeah, a little on the armor, not one that you're going to see very often and Probably, even though we have new fabric, we're seeing the four and eight inch pocket come into play a couple of times so far and as the week goes on and the fabric breaks down, we'll see more of those dangling balls. up and more balls where the cue ball catches behind near the pocket and maybe even some confidence issues arise from this as well because sometimes when you're down there on the 5x10 and those pockets start to feel even a little bit small, it seems you're looking at the flight deck of an aircraft carrier oh you really know, I mean it can definitely knock a person over, watch the brake go off, you know some of the hanging balls and you know it's kind of like the Moscone Cup. this year with the four inch pocket the only difference is that maybe these guys have even less time to practice and all that in this 5x10 there's only one of them right so they're going to have to be confident and stay confident now that You'll need to take a two-ball cross side here and again the two and three in a very similar position.

I wonder if the referee puts them in a certain order. No, it's random. Well, it should be random. That was 21.7 miles per hour. breaking the demonic radar technology here that I was talking about just a little bit better at the time, I think with the hit there, so this one here has to pinch it if you shoot it on the new felt, I think it's just like me, like I think I should go for defense here just because you're selling the rack if you miss this pinch yeah and the thing about pinching it is you have to stun forward a little bit so the three planes get a little tricky it's better hope you catch the 10.

I got lucky there. I think they'll both come in and maybe leave a little opening as far as scheduling for these guys. I would like if I were them to play the first game, they won't play again tomorrow, whoever wins. get to know, concentrate on benches and all that, yes, practice a little more. I think this is a good schedule for both players, yes I agree, okay this is an opportunity, you will see a little more plate on the 10-footer than maybe you would on the nine when you don't you do it's like when you have nothing else this is an option that was a great shot too well it's not taking much time here so I'm going back behind the six putting the two on top of the seven oh this is going to hurt yeah it's probably that's going to hurt.

He caught our thin one a little bit, excuse me, I don't know if they both pass or not, maybe the kiss went off on the playable seven if he wants to take it out. both with a small turn to the left dangerous shot, but I want to say that the safety is also quite dangerous. Max is on his way to Poland, he told me last night, well, yes, yes, that says a lot, he's here to play the whole Derby and then on his way to Poland, which is a great way to continue eight fantastic days here, yes, This is where if the two of you don't go, Mark, excuse me, uh, I don't like going after the seven, to be honest, yeah, I do.

I'm familiar with the shot, but the safety here is treacherous, yeah he didn't do it, he was trying to get them both to back off, there's nothing wrong with that, there's actually nothing wrong with that, if you hit it a little stronger, has more possibilities. to catch the cue ball this to hug that stay on that tangent line to make it bigger yes yes I also think you know the idea was great but it just lacked a little speed now Shane will come with the long one here this is the one where you want to stay super soft, played on purpose to cut it too short, played on purpose the Tangled Up and what a shot, it was really good, what a really good shot, Max will have to kick before the side pocket over the first diamond before the side maybe.

Even maybe even a little bit more than the first diamond, this ball will bend and certainly put a little bit of English to the left and this is where you want to put the English that way you control the curvature of the ball a little bit more naturally, you already know. It's just a tall straight ball that can get a little bit away from you, yeah,you have to include a little more judgment, what a good hit, yes, yes, high quality, okay, you can perform this combo quite comfortably if you want something hard for both of you. to escape, you could do them both, but the way it was coming across the point, that kind of very difficult angle for the cue ball or the object ball to get away from me, I actually had a friend of Shane's and at home he came in a Really nice guy, Rick Lasko from New Jersey, came to my house for instructions and Facetimed with Shane the other day from my house and of course Shane was at the lake not trying to catch him, just snow all over sides and it seemed like it was.

Loving life, it was 50 degrees that day, which is incredible there in South Dakota and this is where he's fine here, but let's say he straightens out by rolling down and taking the nine and the side on this 10-footer because he couldn't afford to do it directly. you can't position yourself so you have to take a little angle on the nine foot table, yes those are very missable balls on the 10 foot. It's surprising how much more failable it becomes than the nine foot table. Look, he's stunning him. He doesn't roll it well. You had the angle to get off the rail there so that was good and that's one thing, don't worry about getting that much off the rail as you can make sure you get off the rail overseas so it'll be five to two.

Now all it takes is that and it extends its lead now to three games. I want to thank a couple of our sponsors, Simonis, certainly, huge respect and of course, Diamond women, if you're not on the lake, you're practicing, yeah, Shane is, uh, Shane is a habits guy, right, I went there and stayed with him not last year but the year before for about five days, very much a creature, a habit and a lot. Of the guys in sports are the great ones, they really discover something they like and try to do it better and better.

There aren't many guys I'd watch a live video posted of them practicing, but I'll watch Shane when he's on. Getting back to that, yeah, I get Fun and he'll put that he'll be there for four hours straight on video. Yeah, during Bonus Ball, he was playing a lot of tar matches and I did some of those, but he would do it. Even if he didn't do it, it's amazing. I would go watch him practice before the game, but I wouldn't really watch the game much. You know, maybe he was busy or something, but I would stay a little bit of the game.

I want to go watch him practice and actually one of the things that I use to teach timing is a particular type of shot that I used to practice for two three four hours before the game and then I would shoot this shot for about 45 minutes and I realized that he just wanted to see how the ball was going in the pocket, like check his timing, basically, and I think it's just that the shot is really invaluable. He's just very good to work with. I may have a cross Corner bank here I can't tell if all five caught them completely it's the kind of shot you're definitely going to attack if you have it you can beat the kiss with a high right maybe even in straight English now if not I don't you caress well, of course, the Englishman can get a kiss, oh yes, you're right in that area, yes, you're going to have to do something with the cue ball here, yes, the top right brings you closer and under the 10 for both of us and the side I think is pretty natural it's just a question of whether he can get enough to make the bench well 18.1 on our last break and I think he has to go here mark I think the safety is just as delicate and I think the shot has a backdoor safety, I think he even did a double kiss, didn't he?

No, he just played the cut, yeah, he tried to play the safety more than anything and just remember from those angles, um, those you know, shallow angles on those benches, especially the new felt. The blows are fair. Pretty aggressive, it's hard to hang the ball, either he wants to go or you miss the pocket enough for him to escape, so now if the ball is up it's different, true, but okay, okay, medium speed, bring the ball white back. about two on this beautiful shot or the corner wants to stay off the rail, yeah I was funny yeah this is where a ladder draw is so effective if you understand it, when you're close to it the ball really grabs alright to get to the end of the lane and up it's kind of a shot you need to shoot a little bit if it's going to go into the store what's it going to do down here oh could it beat that corner pocket so good it's going to go towards cross corner bank, sure and It's hard to argue that they're simplifying the two knowing that you've probably taken the bank and you can make a decision from here if you get to where you don't like the bank as much, maybe the white balls go down a little or whatever you can play. a good safety and already won a couple of games with the safety play.

He's not worried about the bench even though he might miss it, but he's thinking about the playing position because when you start manipulating the cube on this bench, the bench doesn't go in like it should. freely, yeah, that's why, if you really want to improve a lot of things about playing billiards, bang pool, it's a game that, for me, I was lucky that a guy came every Sunday when I worked in the game room when I was 17 or 18, everything is a big mess there and you played a lot of bank pool on Sunday, well the thing is, he told me and he was right, he said, you know, it's easy to find out where the cue ball is going. when you're cutting the. ball in, you can almost take your neighbor who doesn't play pool and he can give you the scope of where the cue ball will go on a slice shot or a full shot, but now you are hitting strange pieces of the ball, so you gives very good instinct about the paths of the ball, what this does, what that does, how the ball reacts to the cue ball, it inherently teaches you a lot about the pool table and guesses what's really there, rarely. any great player who doesn't have good shots, so that helps too.

The parallel to what you're saying Nick Farner swears that when he's a little off hit he prefers to warm up with bank bull because the margin for error is very diminished when you shoot the ball directly into the pocket, there's a little bit of wiggle room, but when you hit a bank now includes an inadvertent side spin on the cue ball, which now the bank doesn't go in and he says if he plays bank pool for a while. really concentrates on hitting the cue ball with such precision which is an interesting point that I had never considered, yeah well I always say that if you want to see who tells the truth the most on the pool table, it's the rails, so when the ball goes towards the barrier, we'll tell you what kind of hit you hit the ball and that's also a kick shot, by the way, not just Banks, right, and now that's a bit of a sign of nerves because it went into the six .

Pretty heavy, yeah, and pretty over the top, you know, all those types of shots you want to think about the object ball going a foot away and this is the one that a lot of times we back up with a quick transition on the back. He did pretty well with that, yes, one of his best transitions, actually, yes, and one thing about Max is that he simplifies those types of shots even when the nerves are high, as he learns to give a touch of lateral spin , I mean, just a subtle touch of That way you have a little bit of air space with the cue ball spin and already in this match there have been two times where you didn't include the side spin and just to make sure that He got it right, yeah, and it's funny. all opinions are based of course when it comes to these types of sports you know there are some things that are certainly a fact and that most people would agree on but people always talk about variables like the lateral turns, a variable that is, but which is a bigger variable.

Mark worries about putting side spin or side spin itself, you know, and when you start to worry, that's the biggest variable in the group, right, your confidence goes down, yeah, you start making mistakes, yeah, jerks, That's what I always talked about. Dennis or the ass, he may have difficulties. but he almost gets out of it by playing the absolutely right shot, he's not afraid of it and, uh, I see him getting cranky that way 853 is our score now, everyone's back with one now He's trailing only by two five games to three , but Van Boning will have the rest facing Rocky and Max will respond when he needs it in this match, uh, it was four to four to four to one, it could have been five to one, I got to four, two, now five, three, you know, simultaneously, there is our tpas 844 van moaning 750 Eberly simultaneously to the Bigfoot tournament, the bank group is going on and the most interesting thing is that they had to cut off access to the players and I think there are 475 people on the Bank board .

There is no other place in the world where you can get 475 people. I think there's 500. on the nine ball, well maybe there's 500 back, it was huge. I think they are record fields. I think they align all three, whatever their ability. Yes, that number was. I think it's been a great field and environment, I mean, we're almost there. This place has outgrown this place and there are approximately 59 foot tables here, but we need a larger setup now that there are three placed to the side on almost every shelf. It's been incredible and I'll tell them to get back to that three-game lead.

This is the design svb wanted and it also gives you a tremendous boost if you break and run out here surprised he advanced there I didn't know this became real yeah that's super hard but it's certainly harder than we anticipated that I would have. just rolling this, yeah, you can't do much, okay, he had a little hint of angle, yeah, I think he's going to have to stop his ball and play a little shot at the six, uh, in the top corner, maybe a cut thin on the side. I don't see him moving the rock much here.

I don't know if he can get to the left of the six on the opposite side. Yeah, that's the shot I thought I had to make together to be compatible. I do not see it. I have an opponent, if things can let us know who started, oh and they fired their power, a good two wing position, now it's so straight, I think he'll try to back up and get into the side pocket with the nine instead of staying on top from the table, yes. I think you're going to stay on the rail too often, well, he looked at the corner because that's how you want to play with minimal movement, you know, and it's a little less worrying, I think overall, but this is what he was. little worried only about the speed of the shot at the beginning of the tournament in the new movie, overshooting the position was better than underplaying it because if you go up and cut back then you add deal with the 10 ball on the cue ball he is slightly overcut. that and I move every time Shane stays down even longer on the shot he's a little worried about that to be honest with you okay first break and run sitting here and a break and run from Shane Van boning there chopping its advantage. to three sets six sets to three heading to rack nine Max Everly will break when you stayed with Shane did you guys fish oh yeah oh yeah and it's funny because during the pandemic I started fishing quite a bit with some friends and it was like that.

Like I'm, you know, pretty excited about it now. I haven't really fished since I was with Shane just because life was good again, but I went in late September early October. Beautiful there. I tell you it was, I bet it was really nice and I really enjoyed it, it makes you feel good, yeah, you know, I like my coffee and everything we know, I talked about it, but nothing made certain things endear you to me. get up even easier and you go outside and it's cool and there's deer right there, wild turkeys, you know what it is, you can just see something different when you're having fun, yeah, I love that too and we were in Rapid City. to go see Mount Rushmore of course it's ok a little more spin so it's not as solid even at the lowest speed you can't see as much movement in the target balls just lower the rack a little 17.8 on our Demon Speed ​​brake app, yeah that's what I was talking about, really close to the similar speeds he's had throughout the tournament or the entire match so far, but the timing was a little off, so which wasn't the reward and Shane ended up much leaner on his Mark and I'm not saying it's a big deal but this should have been a totally stress free shot for both of them and now he has to think differently, yeah this could be a bench now just to control the cue ball a little better.

I think you can control it with inside here but we'll see you can float it out if you're feeling really good get up at six Maybe I think it's thin enough that the speed at which it turns yeah you might be able to hold it or that he tucks back the six is ​​going to be dangerous if you try it right, he made a beautiful shot, yes, but this is where you can rise, it will end up being perfect between the six, eight, probably a lane crossing, I don't see any reason. to go after the four once again when you are executing well using the squirt and then you keep hitting the heart of the pocket now you can control the speed pretty well but they can get away from you but when you are really on a light strokeand easy to get through the ball and there's also a summary and spill of pool once they had their rack a long time ago here, uh, Shane had his Q there, but I grabbed this cue and hit some balls with it.

I couldn't believe how. Well, it works, you know, it was really very different from any Q Tech he'd used before. Well, they changed, a couple of people came and worked for the company and they have changed in the last six years at a very high level. acting queue I completely agree, yeah, it was notable, I think it was 2018. I took him aside and said, man, tell me about that shaft, you know, tell me and he said Jeremy, he says that's the best shaft with the one I played in a bar. none and I said, come on man, I know you know he's like no Jeremy, you know, I said okay, I said I can take this guy telling me that and of course I was lucky enough to be with the company, but he I gave it a few balls and for me, the most fuel, the most power, the right combination of deflection, it's not like zero deflection, but not much, and I love its performance.

The only time I used one before was during the Count. Strickland, yeah, that was different, that was good, it got better. I couldn't believe it, yeah, and the other thing is that a lot of big companies in sports today don't sit still with their product looking to make it even better as we go, because here we are looking. like you have full control now that you're actually hitting the center of the pocket, but you're going to think about this because it's not enough to easily kill the cue ball, you don't want to have to play the five up for too long, it's not terrible though . shot, so he's going to try and kill this to get the angle to swing The Rock, he handles that very well, yeah there really aren't any difficult positions, just don't get too many missed balls on the five, no reason to get a super shot lean and beautiful, and this is where the backswing is huge, to throw this ball past the side slowly, if you want, you can stun and pass between the seven and eight, just a little bit of preference, oh, that's the swing you want , that's the backswing I saw the other day in those videos and you.

I can always say it with Shane because when he has the heavy break that's when the backswing gets too fast when he's on the lighter legs that's when he has his best backswing yes his good timing comes right back yes he really reflects the backswing and he Not only, for true, that is a very similar policy with many players, this would be their second break and the game would be over and, to finish, that is always a great way to close a game with the break and the run as well. yes, I fought hard for Max Eberly, just a tough opponent here to start our event, yes, and there's one more hand for Max Everly, ladies, thanks to each of you for joining us for a while, thank you.foreigner
