I saw Ronnie Wiseman make five low balls on the break once….he was hooked on the two low balls…he ran out on high balls.
….why should he be a huge under dog for making an excellent break?

I'd actually call that a lucky break.

You would change the rule to make the game tougher and more interesting. Just like the rule changes to go to the break box and to put the 9 on the headspot. Or to tighten the pockets.

Sky looks good. I think he was embarrassed by his Florida Open play. He’s been sharp in Vietnam.

Guess I spoke too soon. Sky got sent to the loser's side by a Filipino player named Christian Gariando. Fargo is listed at 704, with a low robustness.

Of course, there are tons of great players in the Philippines not known outside the country. But Gariando has very little presence on the web. Didnt see the match, so who knows what went wrong.

Sky plays another Pinoy next, Jesson Marabi, with a higher Fargo than Gariando.

Once again, Tyler Styer lost an opening match at a big major. This is a recurring trend with him. He tends to get to the second stage, but he sure makes it harder on himself.

His opponent was Nguyen Khanh Hoang. Fargo of 756 with low robustness. Ty is at 790, so maybe not a big upset.

Ty did win his first loser side match.

Big Mosconi implications for Lukas Fracasso Verner. Needs one more win to get to the knockout stage.

I'd personally like to see the WPBA allow men over sixty five be allowed to play in their events.

That would be the end of women's pro pool as we know it.

As opposed to having an open table and taking either stripes or solids. You must know better than to ask a question like that.

Ronnie has proclaimed that a 147 playing Left handed is obtainable. Haven't heard of one yet.
If you do decide to give the other hand a go, looking at whitey as you hit it makes for education and entertainment. Ooops I already said that. must be the Old Timers. Definitely.

It's a a survival skill.
Well I believe that a left right balance is advantage over either-or. Hope my politics can be the same.
