World Record Holder Shaw Gets OnBoard We are very excited to announce ‘Eagle Eye’ Jayson Shaw as the latest addition to #teamonboard and can’t wait to start working with him.
J
ayson is regarded as one of the best, if not the best player in the game at the moment and his status and following is shared world wide. He finished last year strongly with Team Europe beating Team USA
11-6 to win the 2021 Cazoo Mosconi Cup with Jayson going on to become MVP for the second year running! Moving into 2022 Jayson has certainly started where he left off in 2021 and
couldn’t have started the year any stronger. He recorded his 7th Turning Stone Classic title beating Fedor Gorst 13.10 in the final before breaking the Straight Pool World Record, recording an impressive 714 on 18th January, surpassing the previous record holders of 526 by Willie Mosconi and 626 by John Schmidt. This in itself is an outstanding achievement and is one that Jayson is extremely proud of. We caught up with Jayson and he had this to say: “It feels great to be joining Onboard Sportswear as they supply some of the best material and clothing you can wear playing pool, quite simply they are the best in the business! The guys have a lot of casual wear for off the table too, allowing the players to be able support their sponsors away from the cameras also. 2022 is going to be a good year and I can’t wait to start working together!” With a stacked calendar of events to come, Jayson is set on making 2022 his year and we look forward to watching him in action at the Nineball World Ranking event – Premier League Pool at Milton Keynes next week.
