This was dumb calling it 7 ball...that's not 7 ball...actual 7 ball the onecoming player after break gets to call a side for the 7 ball...he gets those three pockets and the other side of table is for the other player. You have to pocket the 7 one the pockets on your side.
I totally agree with you. And I thought jumping is destroying the art of safety battle. When we watched classic pro pool match, they were playing pool so elegantly with skill of kicking. But now, when we are doing a safety battle, it is easy to solve it with jumps.
The Alex pag one was a dump. The guys got zero choke in him and he would make that ball for 10 million bucks 100 times out of 100. The ol dumparoo. Who knows why.
That shot on the 10 in the exhibition...he had already aimed for the corner when some chirper said, "What, not in the side?" Bata changed his shot to put the 10 in the side. After kissing the cue.
Many of these are 'swerve' shots vs masse (but for a YT title, I get it). @5:14 candidate best due to the 3's distance from the pocket. @8:47 masterfully elegant. Deflecting around the 6 by a mm + swerving just past the 8. A++ @10:18 ... signature efren. No one hits those better. NO ONE. Not even Morro. @11:43 ... haven't we all inadvertently hit the point from deflecting too much there? This is just such a clinic ... partly testament to what makes Efren so effective, as there is ALWAYS some swerve on any shot involving spin. The further away, the slower the speed, and the higher the humidity ... the larger it'll be. And Efren being from the Philippines, Efren became ensconced in its influence early. And while many, many Filipinos began play at young ages ... Efren's talent and intelligence allowed him to accel in a way that no one else ever has.
A lot of great shots in there ... though there was at least one missing: Reverse off the end-rail vs Jamie Barracks (1P) is so spectacular as to be sacrilege to omit.
