I think I said wow along with a bunch of other words that would get censored on here. Oh well. You live and you learn.

When WRW threw that ball and left the 8-10 I sent and received a text message and both of those said "wow.."
It was weird.

I think I said wow along with a bunch of other words that would get censored on here. Oh well. You live and you learn. Me too. I was (as PA was) in complete shock when I saw Deadeye leave the 8-10, but when I reviewed the shot on the YouTube link I provided on this thread, it hit kinda weak when it got to the pocket. It might have also rolled out and lost its energy as it hit the pins. I also have a hunch that Walter Ray was using 15-pound equipment, thinking that the technology of today's balls would be enough, but as you saw when he left the 8-10, he either missed it in the bottom, or got into the (remaining) oil on the Cheetah pattern, and the ball just never picked up down lane, and as a result, his MoRich Response deflected a bit too much, and that was what cost him the title IMO.

I don't think weight was a factor in the leave. I've left many more weak (and stone) 8-10's with 16 pound equipment than I have with 15 pound equipment. My personal experience aside, I think he just pushed it a bit too much and didn't hit high enough in the pocket to carry the 8 or 10. If you notice the strike he threw prior to the 8-10, it was high flush and had some "mustard" on it. The second ball was a little more in the pocket (not as high flush) with nearly the same speed.
Now, it may very well be that the 5 or 8 was off spot, but you either take a re-rack if you can or adjust your target accordingly. Don't complain after the fact. I really think he just threw it too flat in the pocket and the 5 slid in front of the 8. Either way, it wasn't really a quality shot - not compared to what he made the first ball in the 10th.
Just my observation, though.

Just a Note on WRW leaving 8-10, he noted that he missed left and didnt hit the target he did on the first ball in the 10th.
“I drifted a hair left on the second ball and didn’t get it to the right spot, seeing the 8-pin standing was like somebody shot me,” Williams said. “I got a few good breaks this week, I just needed one more.”

All I have to say to that is wow. I don't think I've had anything like that happen to me, and if I did, I probably remember it quite well.
