At 26:50 the commentators were wrong. It was not the players fault that the cue ball didn't get enough speed. You can clearly see he got a kick (a chalk spot on the cue ball hit at the contact point) which made the cue ball hop and lose half its top spin. If it weren't for bad luck, it would have been a perfect shot
@@rainmanana I think the production behind the scenes wasn't very good for these tours, they were probably squinting at portable tv's or something haha. I know Earl when he's on commentary always mentions he can't see what they're going for etc etc.
Pena shot into the side needed inside to keep him with a far easier shot on the next ball. Habitual use of running English is a mindless habit. 31:09 Btw, camera people, take note that close-ups on a shot rarely make for good viewing. We want to see the pit and the leave.
Thanks for these uploads. Love watching these snooker players take on the pool game. Much appreciated.

Can see it a mile off. Worst luck ever.
@@Alex-ne6pr you would think the commentators would recognize a kick. I understand the average player has no idea about it, but they should

@@Alex-ne6pr ahh now that's a good point and would definitely make sense!

Steve looked exhausted here. Bad error on not shooting that 2 ball though.
Jharome pena 😊
I was about to rebuke you because you have recently shown matches where my favorite Steve Davis only loses but it was not yest the time fot it.
Steve davis is too slow.
