Wu Jiaqing v Shane Van Boening - Semi Final【2019 World 9 Ball Championship China Open】

[@flaggman1]

Wu Jia-Qing is the best in the world despite the world rankings having him 8 th Joshua Filler is # 2

[@neverenough7812]

I can’t believe he played the same kick shot twice missed twice to give it away. Still proud of you SVB.

[@eastern8699]

in pool it would be nice to have a 360 camera app to watch the game from any angle at any time. maybe the future of billiards will that feature.

[@gw4980]

Yea VR with their POV going to be aweome

[@theonearmedpoolhustler3116]

Good idea

[@11etch]

SVB @ 6:02 “These lights are bright AF!”

[@smithjason9398]

stupid china

[@Janet_Airlines802]

We will now pause for 5 minutes in between each rack so the players can regain their vision from the lights.

[@voodazz]

What's with the disco light show between racks?

[@Irkkan]

voodazz lmao

[@marktodd1513]

America sponsors take serious notes . Except for the weird penny slot jackpot music after each game, this is how pool should be televised. Complete class event with exceptional play.

[@m-abross4640]

1:07:30 wow

[@joerobertson7887]

The disco light show is irritating but not as much as the distorted "funnel" view of the table. That could be fixed but you see it all the time from the China venues.

[@gambloduck6633]

Didn't like the decision to kick from the long rail side at 9-9 after the break. Shane has been making curious decisions in these not straight forward situations the last few years. It's like they're frustration decisions. I bet he'll be practicing rail first shots for two days straight now.

[@adimz]

He was probably trying to hit the one ball full and stop it there, sending the one two cushions down behind the 7 and 9 blocking with mostly the 8 ball. because then the side pocket and the two ball leave a very hard kick, which would give him a free ball and let him run out.

[@gambloduck6633]

@@adimz Honestly thought it was a very makeable kick going to the opposite side with right English and possibly getting safe up table if he hits it fat off two rails. I keep thinking of him in the Andy Mercer Memorial (Rum Runner Tavern in Vegas), and, his decision hill-hill Vs Vilmos Foldes, where he decide not to play shape for an easy bar table side pocket bank. Instead he opted for a soft draw stop, attempting to barely pass another ball and still needing to cheat the pocket? It's not that he's missing simple shots. He has recently been putting himself in spots to have to hit "Efren style" strokes, and that's not his game. Wanted him to win.

[@adimz]

@@gambloduck6633 I get what you're saying. I think he's going through some personal stuff these days. Slowly see the love for the game leaving his eyes and his stroke. I think he just needs to take the winter off and do some good old ice fishing and relax.

[@adimz]

@@gambloduck6633 And SVB always has a hard time in China, the tables and cloth are a lot different. (I live here and play regularly, especially on their "JOY" brand table. The corners are rounded which makes them a lot more difficult, but also makes the middle pockets easier. Basically it's next level difficulty to cheat the pockets here, you'll miss 2 out of every 3 tries cheating these pockets. That's why you see most Chinese players feather the ball in and slow roll and not go so much for position, but rather just "sight" of the next ball

[@Janet_Airlines802]

What happened to those racks they use to use that had the handles and you pushed down on? The new one they use seem like they could manipulate the balls a little bit.

[@Pintomenos]

Man, so unlucky for shane in that last rack...

What a match ! Wu was choking at the end but he pulled it off

[@boblee4739]

Shane knew that it wasnt his day.he just stares like he knew he was domed

[@hahnasty13]

Wu Jiaqing's right pinky finger looks dislocated sometimes, it's so flexible. 1:12:50

[@JCBeAtS1000]

hahnasty13 a lot of Chinese Taipei players and the Filipino got the same thing going on

[@gw4980]

Yea Bustamante has the same thing. Do they stretch it something? Must be nice to have such a stable bridge

[@pb3302]

as a matter of fact tell Shane at his age he needs to have daily routine of pushups at least ten per day every day. will keep his arms from failing him.

[@TheJohnCooper]

How do they manage to defy the laws of perspective with this overhead camera angle.?

[@AngrierGorilla]

1:53:45 beautiful cueing by Shane, these type of shots are way harder than they seem.

[@TheCulturedCapy]

yeah, half a centimeter off and you're done for

[@AngrierGorilla]

@@TheCulturedCapy yep

[@troypietrovito1563]

Wu got lucky as shit, Shane couldn't catch a break.

[@Dav10000]

Shane's face says it all at 2:01:41

[@StevenPG72]

Damn WTF with the lights when they win a rack, freaked Shane out at the begining of the first rack hahahahaha he has that look like he just ate crow or something hahahha

[@TimZ007]

11:00 this shot sounded a bit like a double hit and carried forward slightly which is unusual for such a firm medium hit.

[@AngrierGorilla]

good shot, the double sound is 1. tip-cueball and 2. cueball-object ball.

[@zhengchu2083]

Like both of them , world top 2 player . Shane does not have luck on it . Wu is best . Good match .

[@Snookerholic]

SVB's break did not work well in this match. Almost every time there is something in between the cue ball and the 1 ball...

[@ethanletzer3507]

Why does Wu Jiaqing use a carbon fiber shaft for breaking but not for playing?

[@Snookerholic]

A lot of professional players like Wu prefers a non-carbon shaft. Personal choice. And they think they can play better with their selected shafts

[@michaeltrumph121]

Carbon fiber shafts are not as pleasant in terms of the feedback for the shooter, meaning how they feel when you deliver the cue.

[@sepertude]

He could afford SouthWest cue :)

[@jamesroboyle]

It’s a matter of feel

[@shmooper]

@@luckyduckimona9787 you do understand that they are just historically not a land for immigrants, it's a communist nation that historically was an empire so immigrants didn't want to go there. China still is how it is due to culture and people preferring to visit but not stay there they also charge countries like the USA double for a Visa cause they owe them so much money. Instead of being snarky and thinking that they're so much better staying one race, accept diversity and the benefits of it.
