Thanks everyone! I have been aware of my movement 'into the shot' and have struggled to stop this.

Are you trying to enhance power leaning into shots..?

Because his approach is not horrible and hes not jacked up on every shot.Apart from the leaning in (which might not be that big a factor but certainly doesnt help) the guy has good fundamentals and a smooth stroke.

Not saying hes the next us open champ but did you notice he just ran a rack of 10-ball..?

AGAIN, there is NO Duramith 'coating'. Don't know where people hear this shit. Duramith is a resin/curing process that yields a much harder surface. There is nothing applied to the ball surface after final polishing.

We all read the same stuff, it's not like you have any special knowledge of what Duramith is. If you can sand it off, then that's good enough to call it a coating for me.

'pro' pool these days is at least 90% tournament-10% action. The days of road dogs touring the country are deader than HulaHoop.

Some youngsters made some few week trips but Scot Townsend was the last road player I knew of, still on the road. A few left alive but not trying to make the road work.

If my hair was brown and the beer was cold I would like to try the road again. Many say it can't be done but there were a lot of arts to working the road. Most modern day players haven't tried it and don't have a clue what is possible. There is also the fact that a generous trowel of glamour has been spread over the road life. There were a very few that lived comfortably off of just the road. Others had their times sleeping in the car along with the good times. One of the big reasons I didn't hook up with Danny Medina when he wanted to was because the seats in his car were too short and I was driving a single seat truck then!

Yes, I'd be fine with that, as long as there are some qualifications for very young players and those with any physical handicaps.

Of course, this will only work for matches having referees, but in WNT events, all "last sixteen" matches have a dedicated referee. Automated break speed surveillance in matches not streamed or refereed sounds expensive.

Still, unless the penalties are stiff, it won't be enough to stamp out soft breaking. Perhaps a second break speed violation could be loss of rack and a thrid loss of match.

Refs have the ability to give a ''first waring''.... after that they will do what they feel is fair/necessary to penalize the repeat offender.

I like your pause on the backswing. If you watch Yapp, Feijen they have a beautiful pause in their strokes. But unless you eliminate all the movement in your mechanics, you'll never be able to run three balls.

Thats why he ran 10 on the vid..?

Fairly strong field, but not as strong as any WNT major this year or the big Predator events, if the bracket of players I've seen is correct.

This list is missing a few of the top Tapei players in the event, and I am not familiar with most Chinese names.

Yapp
