Win loose or draw I try to be humble after the game is finished at the beginning I'll say something along the lines of lets have some fun ! With a smile on my face . As my arthritis gets to flaring up at times a gentle fist bump is preferred which that can even be painful .

in golf its called the rub of the green. you take what you get and adjust to the conditions. its fair or at least the same for the other guy as well.

and if you are the better player and smarter you can use it to increase your advantage.

This, it’s not going to change anything for me, other than give me an edge.

I must agree on the " Over / under " system of coiling anything from electric cords , fiber optic cable , or any other cable or rope as it's the preferred method of coiling it for storage including home run cables to the trucks from the "shed " for camera work for whatever event you're working at .

On many occasions I've taught the art of over undering camera cable to crew members as it keeps what could be total confusion under control when you have a camera person who is a runner to get the required shots for the event .

If you were to watch the Billings PBR events from years past there's a good chance that you'll see me at work as a cable page when I'm not needed as a house camera op .

Uh oh a triggered memory of an occasion where I lost and was down on myself for my poor performance. The youngster that won was a rookie and obviously knew my reputation. So when I extended my hand.....he stepped inside it and Hugged Me!!!!!
Oh wow, it brought me out of my self pity funk. I had to chuckle at myself and was able to genuinely be happy for him.
Real Efing Happy.

Bottom line here is that the conception of every new Matchroom ranking points event is a big deal. By partnering with events all over the globe, Matchroom has made WNT ranking points available for almost all the pool players of the world. This means that emerging players can mix it up at a high level of competition BEFORE having to absorb the daunting costs of overseas travel.

Well played, Johan Chua!

I recommend her last book. Very inspiring.

jbart was talking about eastern european 700's, and while they may not make a mark on the world stage (these are hobby players and semi-pros) they are plentiful. i would think poland alone has well over a hundred. if you take east europe from the north all down to greece, you could fill this field with 700+ players, with or without established ratings

We are all aware of the Polish contingent, but Poland is not in Eastern Europe.

Nice job, Brian. Wasn't "The Hustler" straight pool only? While this shot could actually have some value at 9ball or 10ball, it's applicability to straight pool is not clear.

What particular Masse cue/set-up, tip, etc, do you use?

Hey there. In this video I am using the Action Masse cue. I am using it until my custom Masse Cue is being made. I get it at the expo so I am super stoked for that. The set up for the Action Masse Cue is 14mm shaft, 25 oz, elkmaster tip. My new one will have the same specs but with a kevlar shaft. The same shaft venom uses.
