ridiculous...

I think it's a bit ridiculous they cast an actor like rick schroder in a part of someone who's ranked 13th in the country...I mean, no disrespect at all to his acting skills, I thought he did a pretty good job in the movie apart from the scenes when he's actually playing pool ;)
It's so obvious, for someone who has played a lot of pool, or has watched a reasonable amount of pool games, that he is not even remotely a professional pool player.
First of all, his bridge, 99% of professional players (besides snooker players who play 9 ball) use a closed hand bridged usually while he constantly uses the open hand bridge, and he uses it quite poorly...you can actually see that the stroke is not at all stable and consistent.
Secondly, he moves his hand and his head after each shot which is almost the first thing a professional player would be taught NOT to do..
Besides that, and I can't really put my finger on it exactly, you can see that he's not a very good player just by looking at him play, his movements around the table, the way he positions himself to take the shot, etc..etc..
I mean, you can see the Johnny (i forgot the name of the actor) is pretty good player, and in comparison to the way schroder plays, it looks a bit ridiculous..
thanks for listening ;)
