LOL, the exchange was kind of useless - Shaw only brought it up to stir the pot and succeeded. You guys "ascared" of him, haha, he's such a wordsmith, but the good one was "we beat you with Mickey Mouse last year". Kind of a verbal pillow fight, can't say anyone looked good doing it, but don't take the bait! In the long run, of the 11,000 or so views so far (not a lot) I doubt most got to the end anyway.

I don't think thats safe either since the email is directed to me whoever gets the link is kind of like having access to my email if they use it no? anyways, ill just ignore it...

The mosconi cup is an annual tournament, between a team of 5 USA versus team of 5 EU, so in a sense its a USA vs EU matchup...then each day there used to be 5 matches, now adays I think they made them 6? It's a race to 5 each match and whoever wins a match gets a point for the team, by the end of 4-5 days whichever team who reaches 11 points wins the whole thing...its fun to watch.

Obviously a better description I would assume is looking it up in Wikipedia or something.

The confirm email is routine but you're right. Nothing that pops up is guaranteed safe.

The MC question is just sacrasm. sic...

I found the entire press conference a complete joke and a perfect example of why pool remains in the sports industry gutter. To follow up all the garbage comments and amateur theater with her immediately shilling for ticket sales before closing the conference seemed perfect, they can't even sell out the marquee event in their own backyard!

Do they really think this event/league/tour can compete with legitimate sports on the world stage? Why would any sponsor want to get involved in this mess? I feel like I've had the wool pulled over my eyes the last few years by Matchroom and their big talk but this all just seemed like a joke, right down to the ugly red and blue couches. Pool will remain in the dumpster with the likes of Jason Shaw being its spokesperson.

let’s face it, pool will never be a spectator sport. I don’t mind a little drama and trash talking to get some people interested k

3 Shafts Comparison

shooting shots can be a bit misleading. if you already like one you are more likely to use it better. shoot soft/med/hard at the center of the end-rail. that's a better way to measure solely the squirt. I did this with a Revo,Cyn,Rhino myself and the diff was tiny. I set-up spin shots with all three with no issues. I'm not saying there are no differences but they are so small that you adjust within a couple shots. The lowest def. shaft i ever hit was a 1stGenZ-shaft. That thing was nearly zero squirt. I couldn't stand the taper so i never got one. I got a OBClassic+ which was a fantastic shaft. Wish they were still around.

those tiny differences are what make us miss shots...
That's why I prefer to test in real game situations.
Anyway, I think I'm done with it.
The Revo 12.9, the SMO 12.5 and the 314-2 are my shafts of choice to use, the rest go into the storage cases, maybe I'll keep the Cynergy as a back up shaft when I take a cue with a 3/8x10 joint.

For "players", yep, Amazin has the best equipment, and the players are on a higher average level and knowledge than most other places. But it has a more hard-core pool room feel than a place to go hang out with friends. It seems someone is always looking to take your money LOL

Honestly, the guys that frequent the room are all good guys. A little woofing and joking but everyone there is straight up.

I will say that the average skill level is higher than your typical bar room. I know there are easily ~20 players that push 620+ and a couple 690+ who are regulars. Average BCA league player is probably right around ~500. Pretty good I’d say…

Right click the link see what shows and copy it. You can then search it or run it through whatever security stuff you have.

Guys here can tell you if it's okay but it's good to have some surf chops. Phones, I don't know.

I used to watch every year but have skipped it since last year. It’s not even close to being competitive anymore. Matchroom understands this as well so they’ve done everything they can to emphasize the circus and drama aspects and that’s not what I’m into at all. I doubt I’ll watch it until it starts being a competitive pool match and not some reality tv circus full of Emily’s pets.

Press conference got spicy.

Tyler told Filler that the rest of the Europe team didn't want him on the team last year, because of the WPA issue.

I found that quite funny coming from the biggest gimp in pool 😂

Shaw said SVB wanted Sky to pick Lukas over Billy. Shane didn't really deny it.
