Chris Melling is a great player, and I hate to be “that guy,” but there is only one Magician in pool, and I don’t even have to say his name because everyone knows who I’m talking about.
This was a marvelous video on a truly great pool/billiards player. That last 8-ball rack is the best rack-run out I’ve ever seen in my life. Including all of Efren’s. But those first two and last two pots were in a class of their own in any given rack. But they were made in the same. That made this rack the best for me.
Insult to use the moniker the "Magician".. There is only one Magician in pool! It's like calling Lebron "Air Lebron" when there can only be one Air Jordan.. Please don't insult the GOAT and yourself Chris.. Use a different nickname..
At 0:44, he obviously gave the 9 a go (and made it), but he also made the 2 and the 3 drifted over by the side pocket, so had the 9 not gone, USA was still at the table with an open shot. Still... great shot with high drama.
Folks, turn your audio off and you will enjoy this much, much, more. Hey @Perfect Pool thanks for the compilation. Please consider reposting with the match play audio instead of this horrific music. The current audio track "music" you added diminishes the magnitude of Jayson's moments of inspiration...makes this video feel almost carnival like. The fact that Shaw made these kinds of shots in real match play makes them so much more awe-inspiring and I am certain the actual audio from the crowd, the ball sounds, the commentary would emphasize that far better.
