very true- you can really only judge players off of the era they played in. As you mentioned, people make similar comparisons in other sports. Some people make ridiculous claims like Babe Ruth would be a minor leaguer now (without thinking about the modern advancements he would benefit from)...

I'm surprised to see that Rafael Martinez is still playing!

I see the Shaw has gone back to using an extension- a long one too, looks to be around 8 inches.

I know some people don't like Shaw because of his prickly personality, but I really enjoy watching him play- he is such a straight shooter and he also plays fast- such great natural ability

just ended at 560 unfortunately- missed the on the break out ball

546 now- amazing stamina

I agree with you personally, but I think Schmidt said it is easier to run balls in straight pool on a 8 footer. I wonder how much he has played on 8 footers though

What’s the point? Even if someone did accomplish this there would be a chorus of people saying it’s fake or that he cheated somehow

I'm surprised he doesn't always wear pants. I guess he's not embarrassed or ashamed

for what? It there a major tournament coming up there?

Thanks- needed a ballpark figure. I’ve never had the cloth replaced

I think I'm finally going to get it replaced next week and I'll likely ask for the Simonis 860 HR. How much should I anticipate it costing me?

if they are playing on a 9 footer, it would probably be best if they played on 4 inch pockets or smaller to make ball pocketing a bit more challenging. As Stu said though, I prefer to watch pros play 8 ball on the bar table to see how they negotiate the clusters. Their cue ball control is so...

this is probably the best pro bar table 8 ball match I've ever watched- it was back in 2008- Shane agreed to play Corey with both players committed to using the 2nd ball break:

technically speaking, you are supposed to call it (at least in the rules), but this can get absurd really quick. Was it obvious he was trying to pocket the 10 ball in the bottom left corner? I know he missed it, but it was an even less obvious shot than the combo Savannah took- we all know what...

He probably wouldn't call it, but who knows? He did let Gray shoot out of order in that tournament last year.

maybe I misheard her, but I think she said "I only shake hands"- we couldn't see what was going on, but perhaps he tried to hug her? Not sure

I don't think she should have relinquished the table- if I were her I would have kept shooting and dared him to do something about it. Just horrendous on this guy's part. Blatantly obvious shot.

also, he is older and not fully in his prime any more
