i enjoy the break from either Center Left or Right , sometimes i go back watching J.S 8 Ball break video but i watch many break video from around the world
Josh Roberts is a hell of a shot. He is from Lexington, SC and have shot many tournaments with/against him back 10-15 years ago back before he started going to these bigger better professional tournaments. I can’t remember the tournament, but look up josh Roberts vs svb 8 ball match. It was almost a perfect match. Alternating breaks, every rack was break and run except for one rack josh got an unlucky kick off the break and scratched.
I like how Jayson Shaw, even after the miscue that cost him the 4th rack, got up out of his chair to help retrieve the balls for the ref, while Josh Roberts just went and sat down. I love seeing good pool etiquette from the pros.
So do I. I actually met Jayson about 3 weeks ago. He didnt seem like a bad guy like some make him out to be. Still i usually cheer the underdog. He seem like he rushed the 9 ball shot there.
i still have no idea why john morra swapped arms. because pool/snooker require you to bend down, some of the best pool/snooker players are cross eye/hand dominant. like here shaw is right eye but left handed. o sullivan is left eye right arm. so many good players are cross dominant.
@@bcdrawdy and Also cliff Joyner I believe still plays in professional tournaments and definitely a out of this world one pocket player ♨️💪 and I heard they were a few back in the 80s and 90s that were pretty good players as well but had some personal issues in their personal life that kind of eventually affected their consistent play especially on the professional level
The break is the most important shot in nine ball at 10 ball I am tired of all these whiners . somebody hit you with 8 racks you hit them with 10 ! needs to be a race to 11 or longer . This is the freaking U.S. Open . you people want everyone to win a trophy!Win a game break ! people are real soft nowadays. If somebody hits you with 8 it’s some real heat a champion will run out the set when he gets a shot! That’s the best pool period. don’t like it go home to your mommy‘s basement!
It just shows how bad the Americans will lose the Mosconi Cup this year. The best American player (SVB) would not qualify for the European roster. I'm sure Josh Roberts is good playing against Americans because their is no competition. The commentary is talking about Josh being considered for the Mosconi Cup.... I know APA 7's that should be in consideration for the Mosconi Cup.
The commentator is just talking bollocks, I guess because he thinks he has to talk up Roberts and the viewers have never watched pool before or heard of anything other than the Mosconi Cup. Roberts is currently number 140 in the rankings. Not saying he is a bad player, he just got steamrollered here. But in no way is he in contention for the Mosconi.
At this top level of play, it is inexcusable to have a table where the corner ball goes so regularly. Doesn't matter how far up you rack the diamond, players know how to cut break to make that wing ball go. I'm sorry, the game needs to change to a triangle (10 ball).
There are already plenty of 10 ball tournaments,if you don't like 9 ball,go watch those. And also,if you paid atention to the full day,there were plenty of dry breaks and failed break and runs
Bull shit winner break is the best ! Long set tight pockets. Separates the men from the boys! . Develop a break it’s the most important shot in 9 and 10 ball! Rotate the break is like everybody wins a trophy! it’s unfair someone develops a break and doesn’t get to use it when the other person breaks when they win a game. This way the best player wins period! Someone hits you with 8 you run 10! When I was young my high break and run was 14 with a regular rack no Magic rack. Get better or go home to mommy!
If you ask.. a lot of pros will say it’s beautiful to see a player still using a slip stroke. You can’t convince a person who’s eaten lunch meat their whole life that a steak is good.
Shane’s strokes pretty odd as well compared to a smooth stroke such as Mika’s and mentioning Shane Josh beat the breaks off him in a tournament in Florida last week
@@thegallerian You don’t know what you’re talking about. He lost to two of the top players in the world. Jayson and Skylar. So you’re saying if you can’t beat those two then you shouldn’t travel cross country to compete. He placed 64 out of 256 players. You obviously never been good at anything.
mate, in a huge match like that, in front of the cameras, I'd guess you'd be lucky if you stand up and walk to the table. and if you want to be a better pool player, stop criticising other players and start criticising youself
He (actually) beat Shane van boening pretty good on the tv table in 10 ball in Jacksonville Florida last weekend to take a top final spot in the tournament

I remember that match that was a good one
Bar table match is a diff game, his technique seems too inconsistent with bigger tables with tighter pockets

LOL
I've seen multiple European players do that, but can't remember any American players doing it. Perhaps it's a culture thing.
@@friedrichrubinstein perhaps you are just oblivious!
@@cedareasterling6161 Perhaps, yes. Can you name an American player doing it? Then I can check :)
Who really gives a fuck? What's your point? You think the European players are more nice. Who cares.
Josh Roberts needs to take a long trip to the Philippines. He has the ability he just needs to put it together.
His cue action is garbage.
Ya his technique is going to fail him in big moments. He’s using that slip stroke, which is adding a lot of complexity...
Jason Shaw Breaks and runs 5 racks from the box!
Lol can’t break from anywhere else😂
I really prefer to see more offensive play. Safeties are necessary if there isn’t anything else. Bata was the man!
Just wondering does anyone know what kind of cue Josh Roberts uses?
Jayson Shaw for all the marbles.
I miss good ole boy pool.
Now days it's like you found a Soviet pool channel.
wtf are you talking about? lmao
@@voodazz The older pool players were all characters.
Now American pool might as well be as lame as China or Russia.
Does Shaw live in the US?
yep
I haven't watched any pro pool in a year or so now... I have never seen them break 9 ball like that before. How long have they been doing that?
New rules.. 9 on the spot and they have a small break box.. To make the break harder. The previous rules makes the break very easy.
It started at the European Open with the new break format to not make making the wing ball so consistent
they have reduced the pocket size too.
17:00 Getting out of shape on the 6 begins a great safety battle
Damn I want Josh to win so bad but that miss on the 9 did him in
Try again next year J.R.
So do I. I actually met Jayson about 3 weeks ago. He didnt seem like a bad guy like some make him out to be. Still i usually cheer the underdog. He seem like he rushed the 9 ball shot there.

Severe right shoulder pain from holding his elbow and shoulder back. It was either switch or quit pool.
This is the first time I saw a black man playing proffesional pool
Never heard of Tony Chohan? Josh is a great player, he's from Columbia SC. Plays in my city's local tournaments pretty often.
Chohan is a phenomenal One Pocket player
@@bcdrawdy cohan good one pocket player
Inserting race into pool now?

Roberts miss along the rail. Didn’t even come close.

Lol you sound as arrogant as most Americans. SVB is considered the best in the world short of Effren. You must be sipping to much stiff tea.
Also curious to know as a critic where your game lies? Or are you just another free ride playing off other peoples clout?

People who critique Josh. I'd bet he'd beat the shit out all you guys. Yeah he made a bad shot he's also playing a top 5 in the world
literally beat them?

@@mariocastrojim6299 and the players that made the wing ball lost the cue ball every time. This tournament is gonna have some shockers
17:27 only on a pro table is this a pot
You’d think pro table wouldn’t accept a shot like this off the rail
Haven't watched in years. This winning break is bullsh##t at this level. No other cue sport does winning break. It totally unfair

Roberts might have the worst stroke ive ever seen for a professional player

Y R ALL OF THE PROFESSIONAL POOL PLAYERS TRANSGENDERED ????????
Pretty boring match
I can't believe how bad this guy is. Why would you pay to enter a pool tournament when you are that bad?
josh is a pro player. he missed 1 ball . shaw had a shot after every break, and got the rolls.. is shaw supposed to win yes, but josh is very good
@@uski1977 We all miss but we don't all travel across country and pay big entries to miss. He must have a generous sponsor.
Play him some. Bring lots of money.
He can't have much.

Jason is breaking and playing more accurate and comfortable than anyone in this tournament yet didn’t do Josh any justice
Can’t stand Shaw
Rare to see a black players playing pool.
There is a young kid like 12 years old who is very good. He was on on of the morning news shows.
Bugs was one of my favorite players originally
