I found the solution. TRY WORK
“Never let anybody outwork you”.
Keep grabbing at straws while the rest of the world outworks you to death.

Stop with the bullshit of pockets, choking, sharking, who is deserving or not, etc.
The Navy Seal move had to be the dumbest crap I’ve ever seen, how’d that work out?
Practice more as a team,,, yea ok.
Not saying a team gel is a bad thing.

The two times a year I watch 9 ball .
International Open, Woodward vs Yapp.
The crew was in Woodwards corner socializing, sharing whatever on their phones, he engaged, and can hear everything.
It’s all fun and games until he misses the breakout then scratches carelessly .
Suddenly the world came to an end.
Mental and physical distractions kill.

I would have told them to go sit in the bathroom and powder your nose.
They act like it’s a birthday party and everyone’s invited.
It’s 2025, you’re banging heads with killers from around the world.

Woodward was two eyelashes away from winning the International and in control.
If he takes the event down it could have sent him into elite class. It was his time to move up that next click.
I have arrived, mentally, and physically.

They don’t need a coach, they need to work hard 365-24/7 as individuals.
They need people to stop telling them how great they are and slap a dose of reality in their heads. You’re second tier, wake up.
The US is loaded with “can’t get there players.”
That’s for every player who wants to be the next Shane. “WORK” It’s Simple Concept.

I have heard of Tom Storm, but he never came to the US that I know of. Who were the other top Swedes back then?

Tyler could've been playing Savannah Easton for all I care, he would've still dogged the 9. He'll have to prove himself by winning a WNT Major or something equivalent for people to stop thinking he's a "can't get there" player.

This is why I find it so funny when people suggest alternative players who we've seen before like Dechaine (3W-17L), Wolford (0W-3L), Oscar (3W-12L), Chris Reinho...just kidding no one suggested Chris.

They've all had their chances and they've all dogged it. Fresh and new blood deserves a chance.

Please for the love of pool:

NO MORE REPEAT OFFENDERS!!!

Fight to be on the team like Neuhausen and Labutis did.

Apparently he posted this on Facebook:

"Give me an opportunity to be Captain of Team USA


I will have a mini Mosconi Cup with the five guys that made the team against five guys that didn’t make the team to help them prepare.
I will find sponsors to put up 5-10k so they are playing for something in the mini Mosconi cup!
I’d fly in top players from around the country to play them races to five for $$
2-3 days before the cup to get them prepared for the short races and I’d have a screaming crowd playing in the background!
I will have them at the cup at least 5-7 days ahead of time.
They will have a curfew every night, and there will be strict rules to follow!
There will be practice sessions twice a day and they will also get some days off to do some bonding as a team!
They will practice on a Duya Chinese 8 ball table.
They will do some training on and off the table like they’ve never done before in order to help them win.
There’s a lot more that I’d do for them but I don’t want to make it a long long post.
I’m sure David Bartosiak and Classic Billiards Lauderhill, FL would love to help us make this happen and make his room available to us before the cup!
Carl Bolm and Jason Sword you guys ready to help us make a change
JUST GIVE ME ONE CHANCE!"

Looks like a lot of off the top of his head pandering nonsense. Making them play guys he brings in for money? LOL. Mini-Mosconi Cup? LOL.
Curfew and strict rules? I think their response would rhyme with curfew, assuming they even need one.
Silliness.

It'd be a foul in competition, right?
Ignore the rail for a second and imagine you hit with follow when two balls are frozen; most games require a 45° downward cueing angle to avoid double-kiss.
