    He also seems to be on a out of form streak. Most Dutch players are out. Only Jan van Lierop and Yannick Pongers, I believe. But they will soon drop.

    What happened to the situation where some guy in the audience nibbled the ear of a young guy and looked full on pedo?

    Funny pic/gif thread...

    Been travelling South Africa for the past 2 months and our current place unexpectedly has a pool table! Got myself in a bit of trouble. Also here's a pic of my wife:

    New Pool Player Observations.

    My only different take is: taking affordable lessons is great bang for your buck in early levels. Yes the info is out there, but having someone pointing out, explaining, giving drills that match your level of play, etc is very worthwhile.

    Rasson table for World Championships........................

    I think it looks fine tbh. Sturdy enough and I like the sharp lines. I'm sceptic for Rasson though because of the two weird rolls in the Mosconi cup. Woodward's lag scratching had me laughing out loud because of the absurdity of the situation and the look on his face. The other situation I...

    What would it cost to hire a (semi) pro?

    A solid plan is needed for sure, allthough It's not my intention to make money. And to be clear: it will only be concept building. I hope to brainstorm a bunch of concepts with video- and boardgame designers and iterate the games by playtesting with pool players (better than me). Test - adapt -...

    What would it cost to hire a (semi) pro?

    Netherlands. And I think, taking everything into account, that if, IF, this is going to happen it would be best to do it in Holland/Germany as there is quite a big gamedesign community in both countries and in Eastern Europe and enough poolplayers. Unless there is an American angel investor...

    What would it cost to hire a (semi) pro?

    Yeah I would be more helped by someone who is top 1000 but really motivated to participate, than an elite player who just sees an oppurtunity to make some money.

    What would it cost to hire a (semi) pro?

    So I'm still thinking about innovating pool and I'm trying to get a full picture of the costs to get a team working on it. The idea would be to gather (video)gamedesigners and 2 pool players. The poolplayers would be brainstorming with the team about possible concepts and playtesting (ie...

    1000 Ball Run

    The conditions (table size, pocket size, foul rules, video quality, anything else?) need to be clear first so that any record is undisputable.

    Nobody watches pool?

    I think I mostly tune in for the players. If my favorite(s) play I can watch a full match without skipping. Usually I turn it on 30 mins late and then watch the stream from the start so I can skip breaks and easy run outs. Granted, I missed some misses because if that, but it saved me lots of...

    There must also be a word for the empty feeling one experiences the day after a big tournament. Every day there's great pool and then suddenly nothing.
