Don't know exactly what is this about, but it sounds like a domestic American issue.
And again it falls on the same issues that American pro pool is facing.
a. the majority of Americans see pool as a bar pastime game
b. the majority of Americans see pool and gambling tied to one another
c. the majority of Americans don't see pool as a sport
d. the governing body of pool in the USA is not doing it's job
Those who care should unite and shake the BCA, replace it's personal and start doing thing as they should be done.
Really, just look how it works everywhere else on the planet....

Yeah, this final seemed a coin toss on paper, but Szewczyk was a little more consistent than Kaci and was the very deserving winner. Gotta love the unity among the Polish contingent of players. I loved the way they all greeted the champion when the match ended.

At first, this event was a real drag, as far two few matches were played in the early days of the event. Then, however, it got really exciting and delivered some great drama in the final stages. The profile of the World 10ball continues to rise, and a great tradition is being built before our very eyes.

Congratulations to the 2026 champion! Thanks to Predator for a great event.

You must have gotten up feeling cranky or looking to quarrel. I said I don’t like or care for his SP cues or his demeanor
when a customer asks for a cue to be made that is contrary to the way he builds his cues. That’s a criticism of his work
not his character, integrity of anything else you inferred from my post that I never implied was about him as a individual.

I met Colleston in person in several cities and played him a couple cheap sets, and he played my buddy an expensive set. He def has talent. And he def rubs people the wrong way. Actually my buddy didn't play a second set because they got into a confrontation during the set, and he was too old for that drama. If he continues to get better and do well in the pro ranks, I look at him to be a controversial figure like Earl. People will watch him to see what he does, and or to root against him. In the long run, that's good for the game. Like him or not, he's not laying down for anyone, and he's only 16.

I remember one tournament and I can't remember the name of it, it had a title of a person's name James something or another. After the tournament the guy just said he couldn't pay off and was offering the players whatever they would take and most who had prize money coming just took it, except one.

Steve Cook who won the tournament had something like $8,000 coming. He was from the Tampa area. If any of you have seen the movie Donnie Brasco you may remember the name Santo Trafficante head of the Tampa based crime family.

While Steve was kind of a pasty face wimpy guy who was never a threat to anybody, he had friends who were and liked him very much. Steve got all his money.

super glue, a razor blade, or razor knife, and some sandpaper is all you need to replace a tip and its easy. and 15 minutes.

no fancy machine. unless you are doing hundreds of them for a living.

maybe spend the 600 bucks for this machine you can use every day.

Szewczyk's show of emotion after the win, showed that he wanted it badly and played his heart out.
Kaci no doubt was trying as hard as possible also.
Couple of botched safety's made a big difference.
I enjoyed watching these two champs.
Thanks for the coverage.
