‘T-Rex’ goes undefeated to win Rack & Grill III One Pocket War in Aiken, SC

Wise claims last stop of 4th Annual Rack Race, Calvin le is Rack Race MVP ‘Like a knife through butter’ is an insufficient analogy for what likely happened to any creatures who ended up being grabbed by the teeth of a Tyrannosaurus Rex dinosaur. Back in the day, of course. It is equally insufficient to describe what pool’s T-Rex (Tony Chohan) accomplished this past weekend (Aug. 15-16) during the Rack & Grill III’s $5,000-added, One Pocket War, which drew 25 entrants to its Aiken, SC location. T-Rex went undefeated through five opponents to claim the event title, winning 16 of the […]

When it comes to choosing a shaft, Is deflection the only factor?

I hate them with a passion. They blind me when I'm down on a shot, and also when I'm just walking around the room not even playing. Their diffusers let half the light go sideways into my eyes. The egg-crate style diffusers on the Littman and Diamond and even the Gold Crown lights from the 2000's control the light much better, letting it go down but not sideways.
I hate ceiling lighting.

I like a dark room with the lights hanging directly over the table.

Mosconi/Reyes/WPM rankings

The problem with your argument, sjm, is Woodward definitely hasn't earned it. Nor anyone else who might be picked over Bergman.

Bergman, at least, has shown up at all big MR events in the US. He also has wins this year vs Filler and Biado. Woodward doesnt have much to show this year.
I'm not sure what Skyler has to do with my post and, no Bergman sat every WNT satellite event for the first seven months of the year as well as most of the more significant US Events. He skipped Turning Stone, the Texas Open, the Derby City Classic, the Las Vegas Open and the Super Billiards Expo event, all of which featured tough fields and would have helped him to return to his form of old.

In short, any suggestion that he has been fully committed to returning to his form of ten years ago fails to hold up to scrutiny. He has not competed much this year. Justin's a friend, and I've always been a fan of his. I hope he has a strong tournament at some point, but it would be very unlike Johan to select a thirty-nine year old who plays eight ball chiefly unless his nine ball tournament resume justifies it.

POOL vs. SNOOKER - Equipment, Rules, and Fundamentals Differences

The most ironic difference? MR controls both, in snooker they have snooker people running it, maintain traditional rules, traditional ball colors, traditional cloth color, and they play on and with the best equipment available.

In pool, well we got Emily, complete rule changes, equipment pocket size changes, non traditional ball colors, non traditional cloth colors, and for most of their events, play on shite low rent tables and bargain priced balls. All you need to do is offer Em a large sum of money and your crap can instantly become “The official (fill in the blank) of the WNT”.

So in synopsis I’d say a direct lack of respect from MR for pool is the greatest difference.

Penny, Rudd split prizes on Southeastern Billiard Tour stop at Peyton’s Place in Knoxville, TN

It’s a ‘new kid on the block’ in the ever-expanding, regional pool tournament neighborhood. It’s the Southeastern Billiard Tour, which got underway at Janet Atwell’s Borderline Brunswick Arena in Bristol, TN last month (Sat., July 18). It held its second stop this past weekend (Aug. 15-16), at a $1,000-added 9-ball tournament that drew 47 entrants to Peyton’s Place in Knoxville, TN. In effect, one of the top three finishers entered our database for the first time, another added a second entry to an existing profile and the third added a third finish. Jarod Penny went undefeated to the hot seat and […]

Phoenix Open - August 18-22

Up to 7-7, Filler vs Neuhausen was one of the better WNT matches I've ever seen. Filler's defense was on and he played several good two-way shots but Moritz jumped in four balls and hit numerous good kicks.

Filler was the better man down the stretch, but I was super-impressed with the play of Neuhausen in this one, who made Josh summon his "A" game to win. Moritz has really become a well-rounded, full featured player and I suspect he's got several titles ahead of him.

Let's hope we get another match as exciting as this one before the session is over.
