I am very impressed with Ms. April Larson. Very poised under all that pressure. This is not easy. She did very well.

@markabrice 8 ай бұрын

I agree. She has nothing to be ashamed of. But I kinda wish Shane had backed off a bit and just let her shoot at least sometimes.

@Rango-Tha-God 8 ай бұрын

@@markabrice maybe so, but i think having someone to coach is a luxury you aren't often afforded in pro play, and it's SVB so she probably didn't mind it all too much

These commentators forgot about the gifted 10 to Jasmine in the first rack. That and the missed 10 at 2/1 would have already won for April. I know this is big time pool and I know April will feel bad but she should not. I believe she will be playing heads up against Ms. Kelly Fisher soon enough and winning her share.

@procrastinator6902 5 ай бұрын

Because on the first shot after the break, what's known as a push out is allowed. Meaning that the player who shoots right after the break happens can do anything they want with the cue ball and it's not a foul (except scratch) including making the incorrect ball. A push out is typically done if the player doesn't have a shot on the ball on the table that's the one required to be hit (the 1 ball on this rack, since it wasn't made on the break). The normal strategy is to try to put the cue ball somewhere where you will have a shot but that you think your opponent will struggle with. After the push, the other player has the option of taking the shot or making the player who did the push take it if they don't like the results. Shane didn't like the leave after the push so he gave the other player the shot. That's why he went twice.

First game Shane & Mario, Mario draws off of seven,scratches in the side. ( names Tim,I think) Says Mario put a little to much draw. Was trying to land BY side pocket.” Phooey “ I say he was definitely trying to draw to side Near pocket and off, down to position on the eight. “He studied the shot carefully several times before shooting, and shot with way too much force to be just stopping by the side rail.” look again. adios

Shane knows more than most on the planet what to do on a table. She actually asked him several times for help. He’s very humble, and if she didn’t want help he wouldn’t give it. That’s how teams work! Sometimes a teammate has an eye for something you didn’t see. It’s best to let the Pros decide what’s best…

Another brutal team performance by SVB - but probably should not be surprising. For most of the year SVB has scratched on the break at a ridiculous rate, missed easy shots, and had some of the worse position play I have ever seen. So many silly mistakes.

@jamesdavis8731 8 ай бұрын

@@briantrip5022 LOL, yes, in eight ball. But he has struggled most of the year in nine ball and 10 ball. I have literally watched 90% of all tournament games he has played this year. Even in the commentary for this match they mentioned the numerous scratches. By the way, you do understand there is a HUGE difference between eight ball and nine ball and 10 ball - right? You do get that? Apparently not. And SVB is known to struggle in team play. By the way, I am a huge SVB fan, he is my favorite player - but the FACT remains he has really struggled for much of the year. In this tournament, in the 10 ball part of it, he did not make the top 32 because of what I mentioned. If you watched him in the Peri 9 Ball tournament there were many mistakes. The Hanoi Open has some of the strangest missed, position play, and scratches on the break you will ever see from SVB. And what is your stupid comment about me playing him? That literally makes no sense - but it seems you do not really understand what you are talking about. Like I said, go over every match he has played this year, this has been a year of very inconsistent play for SVB. Hopefully he turns it around in the Mosconi Cup. Did you get your little feelings hurt little guy?

@@emsnewssupkis6453 I actually saw those matches in the Philippines. He did not lose badly, but he also did not play particularly well. I am a huge SVB fan, I watch every game of every match he plays if it is available to be watched. He has struggled this year with many scratches on the break. Ridiculously bad position play for a top-level pro, and almost unexplainable silly scratches, and really simple missed shots. He is still great, but clearly this has not been his best year.

@gregterkanian5158 7 ай бұрын

This format sucks. I think it's an attempt at equality, but because they allow coaching, it's nothing more than a parade of sexism with the male players following around the female players like a puppy owner with a poop bag. Should be no coaching.

@dsgsecondspice1998 8 ай бұрын

Idk, I agree that SVB needed to back off a tiny bit, but at the same time, the shots that April missed were fairly easy shots. She shot very well, but in the first match, she had nobody to blame but herself for the loss. At the end of the day, it's you vs. the table, and if the table beats you, the opponent normally wins. Like I said though, I think SVB could've let April play a bit on her own more, although this tournament was the first time I saw April in action, let alone heard of her.
