2018 World Pool Championships - 9-Ball Finals - Anigons VS Racks on the Rocks

[@tslaza]

EWA Lawrence is an amazing woman I have had the privilege to play with her and shoot in her league in Myrtle Beach and go to Vegas with her in 2017 for the 9 Ball APA world championships. Definitely a milestone in my life. MISS YOU EWA. God bless you and your family.

[@garybarrett7570]

when I was growing up we played straight pool but it was call your shot on every ball. I really liked rotation back then. gary, from arkansas. I love you guys commentaries. Ewa your awsome player and commentaitor.

[@garybarrett5622]

go japan! Ewa you are amazing good! I've watched you and black widow for many years!

[@robertreese2600]

Best skill level fives in the first match, that I have ever seen.

[@TheAntMan101]

They weren’t even that good, im a 4 and feel like I could beat them respectfully

[@richardmingione1909]

I am watching maski mash upto a woman playin as a four in the finals 9 ball and would like to say that this is the problem with the APA. THIS YOUNG WOMAN IS RUNNING OUT and making amazing shots and decisions. She is in no way a 4 speed which she is playing at. Her opponent is a 5 and is literally being run over. People who participate in this type of sandbagging should b moved up immediately. Shame on u Misaki and shame on the APA for not penalizing her.

[@wirelessben]

Daiji is NOT a level 2 player. Level 2 does not play defense, does not recognize scratch shots, does not know english, does not make 6 balls in a row, does not automatically know where to aim, does not have a consistent steady bridge and stroke. Daiji is at least a level 4. Dawn is about a 3.8. APA needs to reevaluate its system for determining handicaps.

[@TheAntMan101]

Sandbagging is tuff to beat

[@beefonweckeastside3323]

Daiji is no way a two that guys at least at 3 maybe even a 4

[@beefonweckeastside3323]

Old man Blunck is no way of five that was total BS

[@jeffmauldin2841]

True, but his son got hammered by a 6 posing as a 4 lol

[@garybarrett5622]

what year did apa start?

[@88888gerald]

reguardless of their sl..these guys can shoot...

[@davidnorman6887]

2 points is not enough for winning the game. It cheapens the object of the game: Winning

[@kcdfm]

It is absolutely hilarious that Daiji is a 2 😂🤣😂... and then their 3 runs out the match, lmao - wtf?!?

[@drewjenn9819]

They never played a 3

[@glenhopkinson5648]

Who's the dummy that put the table together. The slate in the side pocket is way off center

[@chadshort4093]

Yeah, she’s a super 4

[@davidnorman6887]

The girl in the 2nd match is a high 5.

[@davidnorman6887]

One 4 in ten has a roll up safe, in the middle of the table in their arsenal of shots.

[@PennsylvaniaSkinny]

Love that I’m a seven hate that I need 55 points😂

[@FloridaRaider]

Iwao's nerves getting to him.. can relate a little too well

[@johnphillips9671]

Until you get pissed off at them for raising your teams skill levels too much.

[@scottdad]

Just IMO....I feel the whole with no jump cue rule you're actually promoting not learning how to jump, which is an essential skill to learn when you're trying to hone your skillset. It's just like telling someone they can't use draw yo more easily get shape IMO. but like you guys say on the stream, APA is geared towards more novice players. Come on over to BCA, ACS, TAP, etc when you become a good player.

[@neilschultz135]

i know man, if i cant like jump with my jump cue its not even worth it. I play BCA too and am super good, i just come here as well to feel superior.

[@patrickbaitman8336]

3:29:16 is a long draw shot to perfect position by a 2? Come on folks there should be a penalty for sandbagging! Zipperhead's cheated!

[@horshamhawks137]

I thought sixes were supposed to be able to run out. At least with a wide open table...

[@barbarasteed3966]

Why so hard..shooting so hard ..looks like no need to shoot that hard...

[@horshamhawks137]

Barbara Steed right... I thought as your skill level went up you were supposed to know speed control...

[@josesosa5297]

this guy was not a 2 no way

[@62Sketch]

Japan's lower skilled players seemed to be a bit better than their skill levels.

[@dg2015]

A bit? A TON!

[@jeffarthur322]

Your handicap depends on the neighborhood in which you come from

[@barbarasteed3966]

How did Cam get SL5?

[@barbarasteed3966]

Sorry Cam you can play

[@alano3834]

This is absolute bull shit. Saki Matsuda is in no way a level four. She's a good, solid APA six if I've ever seen one. She's right on the ball, excellent speed, and magnificent on advancing to just the right position for the next shot. The only way she shouldn't be classified a solid six is if she's classified a good seven. These officials are either corrupt or on a seven-day drunk.

[@truther2289]

how many baggers on team japan people? lol

[@johnholland4428]

Blunck is underranked

[@jeffarthur322]

Ok 9 ball is make the 9 and you win , I see I don’t care for this handicap system

[@chrismartin500]

I play APA and I hate the way they score 9 ball. I'm not opposed to a handicap system but I think they should do it like 8 ball and just require higher skill levels to win more games.

[@butadreamwithinadream]

@@chrismartin500 ya but with fluking the 9 that would kinda suck

[@metoo5927]

I guess APA play better if they just drink water

[@The1Away]

Ya know your darned if do or darned if u don't. I am happy they won. They deserve it and obviously practice to improve their game. APA monitors the score every game and match. You start out at 3 win 2 matches then your a 5? Now playing against players that have played APA 18 years and are a 5? Or maybe even 3 or 4? After 18 years? Your a 3? Well don't practice drink 5 beers before and during your game. You should get ranked according to your drinking capacity? I can't legally drive with 5 beers so how does that equate to pool ? You get penalized for improving your game. You say shame on them? No great job for playing good. Go practice or keep drinking?

[@drewjenn9819]

You don't get penalized for improving. You get ranked accordingly.

[@JR-ti5jm]

"It makes no difference if it was 9 ball, it would be 1 to 1." Even APA's commentator, league operator for one of their league areas, knows this isn't real 9 ball...

[@Deadstroker08]

Not a 9 lol

[@chloemcleod2331]

How is this us team in the world finals? It’s sad so many better teams lack the drive and motivation. Or money. And that one chick who was a 4 for Japan she is not a damn four lol using top English and side English. Lmfao sandbag, yet they couldn’t disqualify them cause it’s the final.

[@CoryContreras227]

She seemed like a solid 4 or high 4 on the cusp of a 5. Some people play better under pressure and others don't. I'm a 4 in apa for 8 and 9 ball and I know how to fairly use english. That 2 for japan was a bit much though

[@texas-dx3lc]

these guys are worse than i am

[@janetairlines1351]

Of course japan beat us. They beat the usa at pretty much everything.

[@humbert91]

not WWII

[@butadreamwithinadream]

@@humbert91 my first thought

[@thomasacciavatti1462]

Clearly Political Correctness is everywhere. APA doesn’t have the balls to dq this visiting team. Who is evaluating this two, three and four? If I had these three baggers, and they were left alone start to finish, we could have easily won a national championship too...guaranteed! Our twos and threes often miss the entire ball and would miss a rail if there weren’t four of them...snapping a draw shot to break out for perfect position, c’mon! Open your eyes APA, and grow a pair.
