Left handed chalk - for left eye dominant players

Yeah...no.
Well I did read that I just did a little bit of research and it seems like baseball might be one of the few places where it would be an advantage. Shooting sports such as pool archery rifle shooting and for some reason even tennis it might be a disadvantage.
I noticed in doing research and looking at numerous pictures of Willie Mosconi in almost every instance is his head is half turned and he seems to be looking down the cue with his left eye even though he's right-handed.

I think we need to reimagine our captains picks. Take the top 3 on points, sure. The remaining two should be selected by having a pool of potentials contend against each other directly. I think this would help our youth and hopefuls get the exposure, opportunity and motivation to strive for it which would at least be an environment that incentivizes them to learn and grow. It’s not the only solution but easily could be one building block.

Who builds the Becue, full pool cues, and are they popular?

I was in the same frame of mind. For the last 8 years I played with a steel jointed Tascarella and decided to try new technology. I bought a Mezz and used the Ignite shaft. However, when I investigated the Becue, I was very impressed with their technology, plus the best player in our league was using an all carbon fiber cue from Go Customs. Also, the members mentioned above had very interesting threads on the Becue. I pulled the trigger on a Becue a few months ago, and can tell you that there is really nothing that can compare to the hit of the all carbon fiber cues. I really like mine.

Are you selling one of your Becues?

SJM at 2025 Mosconi Cup: Way too Late Thoughts

Excuses, excuses, and more excuses. America doesn't care about pool anymore? Participation costs are too high? Yes, we care as much as we ever did and, to the credit of pool room owners, nearly all of them help promising young players by giving them either free or cheap table time. The fact is that there is and always has been a sizable contingent of very promising young players in the United States and the question we should be asking is why so few of them are blossoming into great world class players.

The question we need to ask is "why are Europe's most promising young players achieving so much more than their American counterparts?" Even if we ignore 25-and-under Europeans that have already won something big (such as a) Moritz Neuhausen, who won the PLP and the Peri, b) Mickey Krause, who won the European Open, c) Jonas Souto, who won in both Seattle and Helsinki this year, and d) Kledio Kaci, winner of this year's Bucharest Open), there is another group of young Europeans already wowing us in Szymon Kural, Yannick Pongers, Mika Van Berkel, and Felix Vogel. Why are so few of the under-25 American players wowing us?

Why is America failing to develop its most promising players? Once we answer that question, we'll have a sense of what to do about it.
