I do not think jake has ever pulled Chad.. I would really like to see jakes inside move against Bongards inside move.. Jake, when he is in top form, seems to hang with anyone's hook.. but Bongards long arm makes things sooo different.. it will take away some effectiveness of the backpressure... I really like that match-up.. I think alot of these match-ups are very hard to judge.. with a lot more on the line, people are training harder than EVER.. some pullers were/are so good that I feel some of them can get complacent.. just long enough for another more hungry puller to "close the gap" on them.. like look at bagent.. he can be out of shape and not have pulled in 3 years and then walk into a tourney and tear it up lefty.. but becomes beatable by other elite guys.. then 50k gets put in his face and he is a monster again.. crazy.. I see a lot of puller putting in the gym time now like they never have and going to more practices etc.. the UAL has made it to where there is a lot more to pull for.it will make competing very different and i think we could be in store for some upsets that we wouldnt have seen otherwise..

Jake would run threw Carlos imo his wrist isn't good enough for the style hook that Jake pulls

have Jake and Snook pulled recently? apologies if i missed it. i think that would be a seriously interesting match due to opposite styles.

Jake feels crazy strong. I've pulled with him for 9 years now and I can honestly say his hand and wrist feel crazy strong at present time.

Other than the three Canadians I named I am curious how many of the people I named will show up at Nats to pull the 187 class, UAL is the host after all?
To my knowledge I was the last person to pull Kevin before he left, Nats Utah 80k final. He is one that I really want to get on the table again, the way our hooks collide is very interesting.
Jake pulls in a manner that makes it tough to be a catching hooker against him, Kevin is a high leverage tall hooker but he has large hands and can pull well outside. Generally this group has some very nasty hands on them though and they are great outside pullers. There would be a lot of slips, straps and back pressure wars going on here with most any of them vs. Jake.

Jake is learning the game fast. Staying away from what people are best at. There is a long list of people who want a shot at him. And I think after UAL 6 the list will be even bigger. The 185 class is going to be staked.

Jake smoked snook Snook is feeling real strong now on his way up to 185, at his height the extra weight is really going to help.
