German Blitzkrieg
Most 9 ball matches with a race to 9 games won at the pro level take around 1 1/2 hours.
This one took less than 1/2 hour. Young German Joshua Filler was in a hurry..takes amazing talent to play this fast and well. Poor Shane Van Boening,,,he was shell shocked in this one.
If you're wondering why the ref seems to be counting after the break, a "3 point" rule is in effect. Imposed to eliminate soft breaking. 3 ponts are a combination of number of balls sunk on the break and number of balls that go back behind the headstring. For example..one ball made on the break, combined with 2 balls behind the head string is a legal break. Less than 3 points, opponent can either shoot with table as it is or give it back to the breaker.
