When the score was 9-9, Casper running out on Shane, right before he shot the 6 ball, he stopped and looked over to his right. Then he slammed the chalk on the rail three times. What happened? Does anybody know? Did somebody try to shark him?

At the time I thought he was trying to get the ref's attention, then was irritated that he couldn't. Who knows!

Good match though a couple of SVB's misses looked like pretty standard shots. One, an outside english cut shot to a corner from near the spot missed the target by inches and was played at a force I thought unlikely to skid. 🤷‍♂️ Thought he might claw it back in the end. But Poolmanis will be happy :)

Taka Images walked up to Casper and asked to take some photos. Matchroom guy walks up to him and says, "Big Win." Casper replies, "Yeah, probably the biggest one of my career."

Before the match Casper wrote on his FB page that this match will be the biggest match of his life. And he wasn’t ducking, he was in it to win it!

Draw Shot Control Off a Rail – How to Manipulate Cue Ball Motion

This is one of those videos that I expected people to like and benefit from, but the view rate on YouTube to this point is much lower compared to typical videos. Why do you guys think this is the case? Are the techniques too "advanced" or "out of the realm of possibility" for the typical YouTube viewers, or is the topic just not that interesting? What do you guys think? Thanks.

With youtube it could be anything. Change in the algorithm, wrong time of day, etc.

If Casper wins this all, it's probably the best run ever beating former champs Alex, Thorsten , SVB, FSR, possibly Fedor and these Pinoy monsters...

Casper just won his first European Championships and that was 9-ball so definitely he is on a run this year and can go all the way. Come on Casper, such pressure runouts the last two!

Ivory on Pin

I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. Just my opinion, but ivory is nothing more than an overpriced novelty these days. There are so many synthetics that look just as nice and are exponentially more durable. I didn't always feel that way. But as I've gotten older I tend to like ivory on elephants more than on cues. And even though the ivory used in cues these days is supposed to be pre-ban, it's still pushing the demand for it. Again, just my opinion and I'd never knock anyone for wanting it. It's just not my thing anymore.

My AG cue inlays are all pre-ban scrimmed elephant ivory that would be protected under clear coat, so I did go that route since it did not cost anything extra back in 2005. Now it's more of a liability since the cue could be confiscated by customs if it crosses state lines for any repair work. This means that I baby the cue at all times, even while playing at work. At some point I'll probably store it for good and use the Schon CX61 as my main player.
