@5:20 Great Shot, Bob Ross!!!!!! @8:40 As soon as you said bottom, I was like "Wait, what? Nooooooooo!!!!!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Top right and leave yourself near the top middle pocket leaving yourself a good angle on the 9 to go down (a little inside if you don't want to mess with the 2) for the 8 in the top left corner would have been awesome to see. @15:30 After a great run out, Hilarious Break!!! 😂😂😂 God knows I have done that a million times 🤣🤣🤣 @25:30 This is not a bad decision and you executed that well. I know I seem hard on Ron, but this is the type of thinking and strategy that he lacks, and keeps him from really deserving the SL5 rating. I notice in many of his games that Ron makes about the same number of attempts (sometimes less) to make his first 6 balls as he does to make his last 2 balls in 8 ball. Ron's lack of smart decision making allows his opponents to get right back in, and causes him to lose games that he should win. Watching this game, Rob rightfully deserves his SL5 rating. After watching a few of Ron's matches, his inaccuracy in his stroking/shooting, his choice of balls to shoot, as well as his speed on many shots that makes me shake my head, Ron is clearly a full skill level below Rob. I hope to see Ron's strategy improve, and really earn his SL5 rating. @26:00 This was a perfect chance for Rob to hit the 3 with a little more follow and come back straight for the 6-10 combo. 6 would have followed right in with draw on the cue ball. With his skill, Rob had a good chance of running out. @30:45 Rob should have either used slight top or slight top inside, gone down to the left rail, and bounced back out to center table. Trying to hold it with outside was a bad decision. @31:00 Right after you said you like to hit them pretty soft and cut the hell out of them 🤣🤣🤣 But smarter than scratching like you said 😂 @33:30 I don't know if this could have applied to you, but when I have an obstruction behind me, I elevate the back slightly that gives me a little more room for my backstroke. Distance was short on this shot, so cue elevation should have caused less inaccuracy vs forcing a shot with an awkward short backstroke. Way to pull out the win, Drew! Although it is nice when you are given 3 games 😂😂😂 I enjoyed this video, and I look forward to watching more of your matches!!!!!
haha Ryu, you are spot-on as usual for a lot of this! Rob is a good shot, and re-watching this reminds me of how badly he should have beaten me here! (also reminds me how awkward and weird I sounded the first time I ever added commentary xD).... For the record, for @26:00 , I can say that I don't purposefully set up to do a draw-combo-follow-in shot... but in THAT case, it would have been a 2-way and def worth it to open up that end of the table for him.
Enjoyed the match and the commentary. Keep em coming!
Thanks! I think this was the first match I ever added commentary to. Still getting used to it, thanks for watching! Some good ones coming soon!

I think this was the first match I saw Rob play. Definitely should be ranked higher than 5.
Hes good man! His fundamentals and form is a little strange, so you don’t expect it but dude can shoot. Only 1-2 errors away from smokin me haha
