I don’t understand the complaints about pocketing the one on the break. The breaker won the prior game. The breaker should have some advantage. Wojo screwed up early and late. That’s why he lost.

It's a very specialized skill that only applies to nine ball with the nine on the spot and a template rack and new balls. I'm not bothered by it -- other than not being able to make the one ball myself -- but I can see how some could be irritated. It's not the traditional smash-and-pray from a somewhat loose rack.

UK open commentary

As long as I was giving a couple kudos on the WNT presentations, here is another one.

To me, Abigail Davies is by far the best announcer/interviewer they have ever had. She is articulate, knowledgeable, personable, and excellent at the quick interviews they do. And she is an "interesting" dresser.

In the other direction, I would like to do without the Masters of Ceremonies they have had.

How is everyone shipping cues? I'm talking private party not business. I have gotten a recommendation for Fedex. Also round tube, have that, or sq box, not sure if I have that. Apx value $1500-$1800. Also apx cost to do this, mid country to the coast? Have never shipped cue before, and if Paypal, how does that work for Paypal to get funds to you? I have a Paypal acct but don't use it.

Something else to consider. As a few have stated in this thread, use a tube inside a box. One extra step that I take, is to use either foam donuts, bubble wrap, or some kind of additional substrate inside the tube, to center the cue/shaft inside the tube. It might be overkill, but I've always felt better about stabilizing the item, even inside the tube itself.

Lithuania’s 15-year-old rising star Ąžuolas Tadaravičius captured his maiden junior title on the World Nineball Tour after a dominant 9-3 victory over two-time champion Jack Beggs in the NXT GEN London final. Tadaravičius produced a composed and clinical performance to defeat one of the junior circuit’s most successful players, securing the biggest win of his young career and lifting the NXT GEN London trophy in style. The victory serves as redemption for the Lithuanian youngster, who came agonisingly close to claiming a title earlier this season before finishing runner-up at NXT GEN Sarajevo.
