David Matlock vs Chris Melling | Kansas City Shootout 2024

[@harry2.01]

Always a delight to watch the Magician play.

[@murrayedington]

DM often seems to decide his pattern shot by shot, whereas Chris has it all worked out before he even cues up the first ball and only changes the order of play if he messes up his position badly. Perhaps that's a bit of a generalisation but it sort of feels that way from my armchair.

Dave is 70 years old.

Dave looks at the entire table. I've watched him play for at least 45 years.

[@we5xz-1902]

@@patsyelias8732 Agreed. His mind works quickly. Not his first rodeo.

Chris has the fastest pool brain I've ever seen. He's like the terminator or robocop, he's got some sort of computer for a brain, one look at the table and the route is mapped out

DM's cue ball control was lacking, hence leaving himself secondary shots, or none at all. I hate when that happens and usually happens to me when playing a variety of tables since they all roll just a bit different. Chris put that cue ball right where it needed to be every time.

Chris is just relax.

I may have commented on this before if I did Im sorry but why does the ref follow the players around. Stand the F still until you are needed. Stop buzzing around like a fly. Its like amateur hour.......oh no we cant trust the players they might cheat gotta watch em like hawks.
