Yep! Matt plays shape extremely well. I once watched him practice straight pool. He would tell me where he expected the cue ball to end up after each shot. Usually, you could have covered the spot he pointed to with a 50 cent piece. He missed after making past 120.... 
(edit)...not in my wildest dreams will I shoot as good as Matt. He inherited good eyes and hand skills from his dad David...David was very competitive in nature, a great rifle shot. Thinking about it, good pool shooting and good rifle shooting involve some of the same basics. Matt is very dedicated to the game. No booze, no tobacco, no drugs are a given...but this kid won't drink pop or coffee, doesn't want the caffeine to influence him. His drink during marathon tounaments? Orange juice.
