2009 Scorpion Championship (WSOB) - Part 09 / 10

[all4golf]

Can't get enough of the line that strike had at 2:55

[PoGixbOi]

I hate pocket 7-10 splits

[codeman9010]

I freaking love when belmo calls his strikes when his ball gets to the arrows. He is my hero.

[XaEFFINGaX]

EL GATO.

[XcessiveEvil]

Well, that win should get him living somewhere else other than his car for a little while.

[Criptic509]

good call Pocket

[spazmatron1]

not playing straight up with a plastic. i said point it. thats throwing it more TOWARDS the pocket. of course the plastic wont come back when the reactive wont.

[Travosia]

@spazmatron1 Honestly I think a really good look would've been Belmonte playing straight up the boards with a Natural. Because he didn't hit the pocket flush once until the 9th frame. Or play way left with a Fast or something. Who knows why they do what they do though somethines, I guess thats why they're the pro's and were not lol.

[jeffjeffeatsham]

does anyone kno what ball devaney is using?

[jackskyyler]

i think he is using the street rod pearl

[igetamercedes]

@jackskyyler He is.

[PocketRocket888]

Street Rod Pearl with the "Boomer" layout. Pin is 2 inches underneath the thumb and the cg in the center of grip. makes the ball a bit smoother off the spot

[phredl]

I don't get it 600 revs first arrow and a weak ten,

[deesyphrr]

Soiled.

[H2C91]

it was just devaneys day

[itellithowitis300]

@phredl if the ball hits and deflects due to shallow entry angle the six goes around the ten, damn fast, but still goes around it

[phredl]

@itellithowitis300 Funny you wrote a comment at this time. I was just explaining to a team mate what caused a flat ten yesterday. I actually made a diagram of what happens to the pins when the ball hits soft for whatever reason. The shot I'm referring to was when the 6 pin didn't even reach the ten pin I think Belmo's a great guy and throws a powerful ball. But that shot hit like a wet sponge. I was just surprised to see that he's human like the rest of us.

[spazmatron1]

i think belmo should have either played the outside line with his spare ball and a ton of hand or should have stayed with his inside line and moved farther left

[mrtvmankiller01]

probly would've been better with the natural outside.

or loft the guttercap playing inside

[Booker435]

@spazmatron1 ok he was playing the outside line with his t road and still coming up light. what the hell good is a plastic gonna do him

[spazmatron1]

the reactive ball was really jumpy. he could have pointed it with the plastic and since he has such a high rev rate it would finish just enough to hopefully carry. he was trying to play straight up with the reactive

[Booker435]

it happens all the time. simard did it on tv

[winman9002k6]

a lot of people say you have better odds of picking it up by throwing at the 7-pin. or maybe he just decided to that was the easier one to go for, or something...

[dporkl]

really? well most pros I see throw at the 10 (or 7 for lefties). I guess it doesn't really matter since it's pretty much impossible anyway.

[punklife4life]

im a righty and i always go for 7pin on 7- 10

[dporkl]

Devaney's the first (right-handed) guy I've ever seen who goes for the 7 on a 7-10 split.

[tangent270]

Ken Simard did it in his match against Chris Barnes in the Don Johnson Buckeye State Classic 2 seasons ago.
