He is a very versatile player, but postly looking for help patters. He is strong on the fresh,and he has no problem geting in front of ball return and creating rotation, but his ball shape can start to be hit or Miss later in the blocks. He has cashed in multiple reginals, so he does have the ability.

Since most of the above I believe comes from Mo's teachings I notices that in his latest video he said he never recommends pin to pap distances under 3.5 except when he goes for the low flare option of 90x2 1/4×45 layout

thought it was interesting that he never recommends anything above 5.5. under 3/4 or between 2 1/4 and 3.5. I'd love to know the reasoning why nothing between 2 1/4 and 3.5

Can you post a link to this latest video?

True, most of what I recommend comes from Mo's teachings. But I am not Mo and some of what I recommend is from my own experience.
