Todays Sneaky Pete cues

J
It's all in your personal preference, I like a wrapless wood to wood joint but others may like something less covert. My Joss isn't a covert sneaky it's just a tad bit fancier version of one. I used to feel the same way you do about sneaky's but to each their own. No one will be sneaking up on anyone anytime soon these days no matter what cue they're using!

Yep, he never moved the needle for anybody. Tommy Kennedy(as nice as he is) has won a US Open, if he won a second would he be in the discussion? It's too bad people cant be put in more than once - Shane is certainly deserving of more than 1 entry, same with Earl. Is Albin in yet? If you ever slept on that guy you were in serious danger

Is Albin old enough yet to be inducted? I was thinking there was an age requirement, but I could be wrong. Still, I agree, he's got to be a shoo-in even if he never plays another a tournament in his life.

I'm not saying they don't have the talent. They definitely do! In a race to 5 the skill difference between all of those guys, statistically, is probably no worse than 60/40 (no I didn't do the math.) For that reason alone, U.S. should be winning some of these. But they're not. It's the same story every year...they get looks, they have chances, and for lack of a better way to put it...they "dog it." It's time to give this team a break for a bit, and maybe they'll get hungry again, and/or get out of their own heads.

Or they need to play under extreme pressure - giving up games in a very loud atmosphere to the 6th through 10th place guys. Bring in Dechaine, Bergman, Oscar, Chohan, and Wolford to play them set after set before the Cup. If there's any Asians currently in the country, throw them in the mix.

The 6th through 10 place guys can get experience playing in that atmosphere

I think he'll get in, but I kind of doubt he'll get in with his first year of eligibility. As much as I'd like to say it's not a bit of a popularity contest, it is...and Jason Shaw is popular whether you love him or hate him. Look at guys like Dave Howard who's a 2-time U.S. Open winner, back when it was arguably the biggest title in pool, as well as a winner of the Asian Cup. For majors, that's arguably a better record than Shaw's (depending on how you view Turning Stone) and he's not in the hall of fame. But hey, that's pool and politics!

In fairness, Tyler has historically performed well enough in the MC. Having said that, every time I've watched him play this year, he seemed to be struggling, which isn't always observable in this game based off win/loss records. I think he's just in a slump at the moment and probably should have sat this year's MC out.

Introducing the new Bitman rack 😳

If we want to be absolutely ridiculous and chic about racking balls, then under the cloth we can drill 15 small holes in the slate, and then fill them with retracting steel pegs. The holes under the cloth are present when racking, like a template, and after a break the holes fill and disappear. You can even time it so that the advancement happens a second after the cluster impact, so that the template disappears while the balls are still rolling.

This must have been done before at some point in time. It will not be the future of pool.
