Shane Van Boening vs Margaret Fefilova Styer | 2022 US Open Pool Championship | Winners Round 1

[@ronieash7758]

Loved watching Shane shoot his game, Margaret played really well so much skill on that table!

[@bradstephan7886]

I love the overhead camera and seeing what color each ball is. Excellent commentary, as well.

[@SetemkiaFawn]

Being able to accurately read the colors of the balls is such a nice thing. I don't know why so many camera teams cannot get the colors to come out. The only thing I can figure if the equipment is deficient for their lighting is poor. Now I just wish that the colors of the balls would be consistent. Sometimes the four ball is purple sometimes it's the 5 ball. Sometimes it seems like the only reason why the colors of the balls change is that they want to confuse International viewers.

[@Lord_of_Pool]

Normally I am dissapointed from american commentary, but this one was very skillfull and on the spot. Good work, gentlemen!

Strong showing by Fefilova. As Jeremy said, and knows far better than me, she should be proud of that play. It was pretty excellent level, darn good for a guy, very excellent for a girl. She was seriously in the running for a lot longer than I expected. To play like that with Van Boening playing fairly solidly, with a couple of minor flubs, but some very nice moderately difficult table runs requiring consistent rock roles. And a few of the signature SVB stroke releases that are always fun to watch, the ones I rarely get right, once in a row.

[@dalemcgarry2086]

She is definitely a shot maker and seems to have a pretty good eye for proper position maybe just a little bit better cue ball control and taking a better path to get to where she needs to be and she could be a world beater. I mean every ball she pocketed was with a confident stroke she never looked apprehensive about making a shot not that she didn't look apprehensive but pocketing the ball never seemed to be a concern to her she looks like just a pure shot maker.

[@PostUp_Time]

Pro Players can run Tables. How you see them fail, when opponent strategizes. How can she get out of of safeties, does she know Diamond System, can she kick to get out of trouble, can she leave successful safeties. these "extras" are needed to see to judge players today, since they can all run a table and appear "perfect". Perfect example was/is the match between Gorst and FSR. Both can run. But Player needs know how to prevent them from running. One of best strategic games seen played. -gorst lost didnt have the finer experience needed as described above. Also watch KO at that tournament, unbelievable triple kicks.

That is a shot I practice a lot. It has always been troublesome for me. But i learned the Ghost Rail technique from watching Dr Dave and it has VASTLY improved my % of success.

[@andrewkamide4977]

1:04:49 how come she did not take ball in hand here? He deliberately struck the 5 ball to try and safety, when the 2 ball was the lowest number on the table. Just looked up the official UPA ruling and this should have been a ball in hand foul. I've always played it as ball in hand, but I looked up the official ruling just in case something was different here. She won this game anyway so it wouldn't have changed the outcome of the match, but I'd like to know why it wasn't ball in hand. Also why the commentators didn't say anything. They were on top of everything in this match.

[@AndreaFontebassoPlus]

From another comment I learned that he called a push, first shot after the break you can call a push shot, allowed to shoot cue ball wherever, hit nothing, hit any ball, sink any ball including 9 (it gets respotted). After your push the opponent can take the table or pass it back to you

[@phillipschuman4307]

It has been allowed as co-ed for a while, but not a lot of women decided to enter. Back in Virginia, after it moved to Norfolk from Chesapeake, I remember Karen Corr playing in it. She did well, almost beating Jayson Shaw. She even got to the hill first. I think she had a dry break, Jayson safed her, and she barely missed contact, and he ran out to tie her. And then he snapped the 9 on the double hilll. (If I'm remembering that correctly.) Except for her though, I only remember Jennifer Baretta playing in one year.

You're not nuts for thinking they're different colors but you maaaay be nuts for thinking the 4 is tan. It's actually pink in this set but more importantly it's an abomination. For some reason, the billiard ball companies cowtowed to the focus groups that said more people would watch but they can't tell which ball is which.
