TOP 15 SHOTS ｜ International 9 Ball Open 2019

I know he likes to shoot at it if he gets a chance. Yeah, he looks like he's good. He banks good, too. There's a boy hitting it pretty good. Bales in the 25 with a great shot. You know, Appleton and them was talking earlier. You know, Appleton and Thien are probably the best one-pocket players from over there. See, he's coming from this diamond here. You count five diamonds up this pocket. That's a zero. It's a target. See where he hits it. Should be good. See there? Wow. What a shot. That was. Yeah, the perfect find. What a shot. Look at that shot. A rail first. What a shot. Yeah, he does have a little. This is awkward, though. You know what? He's netted every one of these this match, though. Every one of these tough back cuts. Not so easy to get behind the 6'8". Unless you draw your ball. Unless you play the 5-ball bank twice long, maybe, and draw your ball behind the 6'8". Oh, wow. He's just hit heck with it. It's the third bank shot in this rack that we've witnessed, and none of them were automatic at all. Look at him smiling. Yeah, it was. Watch the timing on the stroke. Slow back. Wow. Man. Withdraw. Yeah. Pull it back six inches. I mean, really good shot. Wow. That's world-class pool right there. I saw John. He's trying to get it from behind. And he did. Oh, and made it, too. Oh, my goodness. This 3-ball is makeable, and it's going to bring him right to the board. Oh, my goodness. You can fracture a little bit more of an angle than you really have, but you're trying to control it as well. And the key is don't back off. Well, it is feasible to make the 9 here. Sure is. Very remote. A lot of ways like that. What a shot. Yeah. I'm sure Dennis is thinking, he might not even have got out. Now he's locked in the name. Here's our replay. Yeah, it's kind of like baseball. I was thinking about it the other day. With the pitch count. You know, sometimes for a pitcher's pitch count, it's good for him to give up a couple of hits. Right. I wonder if he rolls out to where the jump or the kick is available, and it gets passed back to him, if he kind of entertains the kick shot instead of the jump. That's got to slow down a little bit. Should be good. Okay, so the rail first is definitely not there. Okay, he's been great with the jump cue. I saw him make a couple against Sky Woodward. Wow. There's your replay shot. Man, that's huge. He went to the closed bridge to begin with and went back to the open bridge. Well, usually if he's like right there, he's powering up a little bit more, because he's still got his break cue out, which he does a lot of jump shots with. Wow. Woo. Now that is fireworks supreme. Now he's trying to go one cushion. Got to stiffen it. Oh, my goodness, what a hit that was. Wow. Great shot. That's what he did. Okay. He won two world championships. The person that beat him the most was his little brother. Kopin Chung beat him twice. Nobody else could beat him, but his little brother did. Look at that nice hit. What a shot. He made it. And he got position, maybe. Wow. I think he got position, too. Yeah, he sure did. He's jumping. Yeah, I guess he feels like he's got a better chance to get safe this way. Oh, my good Lord. I think he cut it in. He did. Still all laying tricky. He's elevating again. Is this the safety? Yeah. All right. Good shot there by Josh. Could have done with that not being near the rail, because it makes his shot a little bit easier now for Alex, but it's not an easy shot. Not by any means. He has to use some pace with this, try to get some separation. It's close. What a shot. What a shot that is. And perfectly on the four ball. Joshua received in there about that one. He's looking at banking the one long rail and drawing behind this ball. Is that what he's looking at? I would come to the center of the table, and that way I could chip the two and go to the rail. Yeah, that's what he was looking at, and breaking this out maybe. What a shot. Okay. Wow. Yeah, well, if you've seen the Jason Shaw highlight reel, I think just right from this very room here. You know, every once in a while you do something, you forget about it, and time goes on, and nobody ever messaged it, you know, and you're just under the rug, and then you remember you did it, and that's kind of a cool thing. Oh, my God. You hit him right on the nose. But he didn't get rewarded, did he? No. Looks like he got snookered. On the edge of the three. Well, he hit the paint. Yeah, and that's what Mika would need to hit to pocket the five with very little hope of getting position. Oh, he didn't hit it. No, he's completely frustrated. Lest the table know it. Shame can get to where you are, we say. One ball away from the hill.
