Winning the US Open 9 Ball Championship makes him under-rated. Not over-rated. He can play with any player in this world and have a chance of winning - doesn't matter who. The final score of this match was 94 to 100? Not exactly a decisive win. 6 game win means nothing.
I always thought he was somewhat overrated. He does have a major advantage over other pool players being deaf. I don't mean that in an offensive way, but being deaf has to help his concentration by not being disrupted by various sounds.
yeah, but the shot on the seven is amazing nevertheless. he was on the rail, and to hit it at that speed with that much accuracy just takes an incredible stroke, not to mention nerve. he totally choked on the 8 though... which doesn't come close to shane's choking on the 9, which was a pretty straight forward shot.
. pool is a sport and you wear down after playing a hundred something racks. yeah these guys are top notch players but they use the toilet to take a shit too you know what im sayin?
so? what did i say? i KNOW they are great, i SAID they are, but you gotta admit they sucked in this rack... don't be such a douche lecturing me about pool, ok?
Alex is going to slow roll this.........BAM!!!

Dude... are you saying that if you pop in some earplugs you'll play better? You have no idea what you are talking about.
locorossco 2 years ago
no you can still hear with ear plugs, the kid is deaf, he never has to worry about someone talking and sharking him when he is down on balls.
