I think Adkins best game is banks if it’s the same guy from Kentucky. Filler the killer is world class. I still like him.

Filler tortured him.

Will be interesting to see how Filler fares as he moves up the 1P food chain.

Guy makes balls with shape from everywhere on a tight table with ease. Nowhere to hide. Gotta give Roy props, he keeps the action flowing all the time.

I watched the replay. First or second game Brandon had a easy bank that carried shape for a bunch. He got 1. I knew right there this wouldnt be close. I watched 3 games and then zipped to the end. Exactly what I expected. Thriller shoots better and moves better.

Brandon played really poorly. Routinely got 1 from where a lot of players of lower caliber would get 4 and 5. JF was in dead punch and then he realized that Brandon couldn't hurt him. Over quickly.

dont think yesterdays match was a measurement as Shuff didn't show up
he can do a lot better, probably shell-shocked by Fillers bombardment
That Filler is the best of the 2 is clear i think

now what i was thinking about, if Filler would have to play ....-and-stop
what number of balls would make it an even game? 3-and-stop, 4-and-stop?

The short answer is 2 or 3 and stop.

Brandon and I had about an 8 hour gambling match years ago. Personally I think his 1P is overrated.

A good test for Josh right now would be Billy Thorpe. Both have have similar styles I think.
Who you like in that matchup?
Does Filler have a style yet? I know that when Thorpe is hitting his banks, he is virtually unstoppable. When the banks are not making their marks, not so good. Filler on the other hand is just learning the game. A mover will beat a shooter until the shooter starts moving. He’s been playing one hole what? Two years. His ability to pocket balls is world class.

At Fillers level a shooter may not have the worst of it against a "mover".

Good players learn new games pretty fast. Filler is smart and is learning on the fly. Brandon just doesn't have the game to compete with Filler.

Filler is playing that Jaho again. Just started the second set. Josh won the first one...Roy's Basement...
