Yes, and Collins has put thought into what he wants his stream to be like. He has a vision of what he wants it to be like. He knows it won’t be for everybody and doesn’t want to try to be standard. I like it even with the occasional frustrations you encounter with stream announcing.

The big question is how many are going to be skipping to go to the UK?

Impressive playing for sure. He looks quite tall, maybe six foot or more. I wonder how much taller he'll get.

Reminds me of Johnny Archer. Sure is headed that way.

Good luck to you. I happened to watch the second match on the stream link you shared, the Joshua Manuel (548) guy played like at least a 650 LOL. The way he cueing, his cue ball speed, his position play, his thoughts etc. is unlikely a 548. Pretty much he ran out his first 3 games, there were some back and forth in the middle and his opponent got lucky and got some games, dude basically broke and ran out last few games to win 8-4. You just need to watch the first few mins of the match to know who gonna win, his opponent shot like a true 540ish.

Well...

I'll watch some more tonight when I have more time and will report back my thoughts...

21 players to get through by the end of the night? Ouch.

It looks like Filler is going to finish before one of the Round 9 matches. He must be feeling better. Or, he wants to get somewhere soon.

This whole event looks sloppy compared to what we have gotten used to with Matchroom. Players wearing headphones, conceded balls and racks, players practicing while the other player is taking a break. They probably prefer it like this though, apart from the atrocious scheduling.

Has anyone ever done an interview with Ray? He's been around forever in pool years now and I don't know much about him.

That may change soon.

It sounds like you have hit the Jackpot.

Everything is CF today. Get an 11.8 Predator Revo if you liked the z2. If you liked the 314 better, get a 12.4 Revo.

get a revo on any butt you like

Ok!

With the weather and everything, Amazon took a little while for it to get here.

Got it yesterday but didn’t get to playing with it until today.

What a cool device! The feedback is awesome and at least to me, seems very accurate. I have it set to vibrate when I stroke it bad and and when I do everything right I am rewarded with big green bars in the app! There is no doubt this will help my stroke consistency. I can already better feel the subtle mistakes and when a stroke is good. This will help me better understand when the mistake is aim/alignment or stroke. I have to travel next week so I won’t be able to really put in the time with it for a little while but this with the ball will be a game changer for this old man.
