It shows just how different one frame pool is to distance pool . . Two different games within a game to an extent . .

Kyle losing heavily twice on the bounce shows this to an extent . . Don't get me wrong as he's still a quality match player but as Shagy has mentioned, he has focused entirely on his one-frame pool with the Eagles and even when he's been practicing it's only been for a handful of frames . . He'll be the first to admit he hasn't prepared properly for this and if anything this is to get him back into the swing of things ready for CSL III and subsequent tournaments . .

Shaggy made an interesting point in that it will be interesting to see how the Division One players who feature in the 'Opens' will get on now that they're involved in regular match practice over distance . .

It just goes to show that pool has such a mental aspect to game and it's not just about potting balls . .
