Joshua Filler vs Chris Melling | 2021 World Pool Masters | Last 16

[@andrew_owens7680]

Whatever Chris does the rest of his career, he authored the greatest 8-ball game in history.

[@RajeshJustaguy]

i saw that.. that was incredible.. esp the 8 ball

[@andrew_owens7680]

@@RajeshJustaguy That's up there with Efren's famous z-shot and maybe better, because it could be argued that Efren fluked it while only trying to hit the ball. It was clear that Chris had the intention to hit that shot exactly as he did.

Always enjoy watching Melling. Has a definite style.

3:53 - 4:15 that whole interaction had me dead. Not clowning the ref but still comical

lol,,he threw the ball,slippery little thing.

@@5153flash this is the way I want people to react to these kind of things. The ref is a human being, entitled to human errors. This short thread gives me hope.

Why tf u are doing this

[@iwlemonade_gaming1013]

good show Joshua!

[@johndenver752]

anybody knows what cue stick Joshua Filler is using pls? the play cue, not the predator break cue...

[@xnoitulos]

I met him and asked him and he said it's "number 0 of 0" prototype Predator. Looks super nice too, kinda like a Panthera

[@johndenver752]

@@xnoitulos that is such a good looking cue stick man, i hope Predator does a Joshua Filler series based on his specifications, with his signature, kinda like cuetec did with SVB Thanks 4 your answer :)

Is this 2021 or 2022???

[@sumasaum]

Someone please slap whoever had the idea for making the 5 ball purple.

[@robdetuinman2]

It was Emily Frazer

[@sumasaum]

@@robdetuinman2 Cool, I didn't know that. Just looked her up. She's safe from me though lol.

[@robdetuinman2]

Yeah when a millionaire makes his illegitimate child CEO who doesn't know anything about pool lol

[@lawrencemaweu]

Why didn't Melling just play a safety on blue two for the second rack! It would have been a nice hook behind the three and seven

[@mikerobinson6606]

I thought the same thing.

[@JerryBoyles]

Me too. Super strange. Seems to be just a bad decision at the table. He butchered it.

[@stevewilliams2732]

He had room to make it... Not really a hard shot for melling being as close as he was to it..notice that he overcuts it..

[@6mdm]

He was concerned because the 2 was going to bank into the pink ball. No telling where the 2 or pink was going and could have gone in or sold out. If you look you will see him looking at the pink. For the safe, he had to send the two that way.

[@lawrencemaweu]

@@6mdm ooh. Really felt bad because that is essentially the start of the downward spiral into the loss.

[@ycs5555]

@@briangc1972 I think the problem is not in the size of the pockets but in the shape of the jaws. It should be round, not pointy.

0.57. who ever did the dice tattoo on Chris Mellings arm....stuffed it up completely.....opposite ends of a dice add up to 7 always

[@larrywhipit5204]

Does Melling like to gamble in the casino? I see his arm tattoo.

[@yixiangsi2489]

Maybe he got it bcoz it just looked cool lmao

[@richard0807]

That tattoo is fucked up. One of the dice has the 3 and 4 next to each other, which is wrong. The opposite sides of a dice always add up to 7 e.g. 4 + 3 = 7; 5 + 2 = 7; 6 + 1 = 7. It's clear at 4:54 and following.

[@elvisgrahovac7267]

Watching Melling is fun and exciting, Filler on the other hand is a percentage trained to win and it gets predictable and boring to watch. Also, Filler seams like a aragont-ego type guy, oh not to mention his luck in this match.

[@garbygarb31]

Joshua filler is literally the best in the world right now.

[@Ballance96]

Totally agree. No disrespect to Josh he's a good player, but he can get rather predicable. Also I've noticed that he does get lucky, like a lot, in a lot of his matches

[@matiasvf2520]

What's the ref's name?

[@alexlichty9859]

John Leyman

[@Shintikibob]

That Filler luck. Sucks

[@briangc1972]

They both got a few lucky rolls. At their level of play, the main luck factor is the break.

[@Shintikibob]

@@briangc1972 of course there's a big factor on breaks. But Filler luck is too much on this one. But i kind of agree with you as well. They're such high level players that lucky breaks and rolls make it to highlight reels. Plus maybe i didn't want to see Melling go down that way.

[@briangc1972]

@@Shintikibob I think if the tournaments would all go to tighter, smaller pockets, we would actually see more "luck" factor shots. The tighter pockets cost Filler the game when he was at 5-1. That led to the sequence of games where we saw the "lucky rolls".
