Pool is Thriving in Texas!

What's your source here?

In 2025, the new WNT Florida Open took place. It was a hit and fans like me were delighted when Emily Frazer announced before the final that they would return in 2026. That meant that the contract was already in place for WNT's return to the same venue.

In contrast, in 2026, the US Open 9ball went to Frisco, TX for the first time. Just before the final, Emily Frazer announced that she would love to be back in Frisco next year for another US Open 9ball. What that means is that, despite the stated WNT desire to return, there is no contract in place at this point to return to Frisco, TX.

sad day for pool when bar boxes take over the game.

I don't see bar boxes hurting professional pool. Bar boxes are for playing 8ball for a beer with your friends. I sure don't see 9ball or 1pocket being played on bar boxes. Are only people who play on 9 foot tables true pool fans? I think the pros should advertise to the barbox crowd to broaden their support. Folks play on what is available because they love to play. I prefer to play on a 9' table but I will play on the smallest barbox if that is what is in front of me.

I don't see bar boxes taking over the game, they are just free beer dispensers.

Appleton, Boyes and Melling robbed APA Nationals?

benjaminwah said:
In an interview on the latest Legends Of The Cue podcast, Chris Melling says a friend created a fake league, convinced the APA that they were a British equivalent and convinced them to let their top team compete in the APA Nationals. Around 2001? The team had Karl Boyes, Darren Appleton and Chris Melling. Apparently they made it to the finals and lost.
I’ve never heard this story before. Has anyone else? Any more details about it?

Pagulayan weighs in on CB last

It depends on the shot. There are some that you need to look at cue ball last. I’d guess for over 90% of players, it’s object ball last, on over 90% of shots

I will look at the OB last unless I'm tree topped, then I will look at CB last, it helps me from hitting off-center as much and unintentionally playing a masse with the cue ball.
