Well, he just uncorked a full 3 minute sermon on livestream. What was the over/under again?

Johnny Archer preaching the gospel lol

Sorry to be a downer but 8 ball is boring as hell. Should be banned from all pool rooms and all tournaments. I was able to watch like 3 min total. End rant.

Is Savannah aware of this? Someone should let her know so she doesn't have to hang out in Green Bay...

Thanks. I just did to Nick Baron, he gave me his email at the expo this year. I know its a minor thing in the grand scheme of things, but staying pretty is important to the perceived quality. If the customer (room owner) sees all the ball boxes beat up in 2 months of use, he might not order any more.

Here's a related video that goes back to bowling pin boys. They still had pin boys in the 1950s -- I saw them at a small bowling alley I used to go in to.

She definitely can beat her in one match. Over the long run, I agree with you... for now.

You may be confusing 2 different things. I don't mind the shot clock every shot, but when it gets down to where people have to run around the table as in the 6-5 match with Oscar, then it is just wrong. Part of my thought process is I played 2 seasons in that league so I watched the good, bad, and the ugly.

15 seconds is pretty short but there is no reason 20 wouldn't work well. I think a lot of it is just what you get used to, a lot of the Europeans rarely if ever looked rushed on a 15 second clock. That 15 seconds is the same amount of time for all players, they just need to use it wisely.

Whoa. How do you figure? There are not many pros who don't stroke straight. You don't stroke straight, you miss a whole lot. Pros go straight through on the CB line, whatever they do in practice strokes.

I can only guess that you have not seen many tournament videos. If you want I can start naming names and I am sure other members will add to my list but I think there are not many who have really nice strokes like John Morra, Tyler Styer, Fedor, etc.
Some of the not so nice are Django, Joven Bustamante, etc. They might be repeatable but they are not always or rarely are straight. Its really quite surprising how many top players have a curve in their stroke when you start paying attention.

I was sitting right next to him (he's my usual practice partner) and told him after he ran out and that's when he talked to the ref about it. He wanted them to add time back on the clock but there was no way that was going to happen. I told him be careful what you wish for because if he broke dry that would have given Justin time to win it outright!

Are you highstepping us Eric. "he's my usual practice partner" We know you are a great player, now we have to deal with you hanging out with the best

Only a few more events until we see you in the finals.

I played on the tables in Atlanta. They are great. All the players loved them. The owner loved them too, he's a big Brunswick fan. The players I talked to preferred them to the Diamonds they replaced. 1 pocket is played on them almost exclusively. (as was the two Diamonds they replaced).

I did run into 2 issues with the ballbox. Has anyone else run across these issues? I'll email Nick at BW with the pictures also.












The edges of the ballbox and rack slot are completely beat up. This is after only 1 month of being installed. Needs a hard rubber or plastic edge trim to survive and stay pretty.
