Bergman is going to be a game changer.

He is a great doubles player and his cue ball control is great.

Team USA will win.

How was that CPBA cloth to play on? It looked lightning fast on the 9’ on the WNT events.

I'm probably not the best one to ask if you're wanting a technical answer. I think the cloth plays good. I honestly don't know if I could tell the difference between any of the major brands.

If I had my pick for the wildcard, it would be Billy Thorpe because he gets along well with the others and brings enthusiasm and excitement to the team.

He's got the experience of playing on the big stage, and I think he can bring it on. He's hitting 'em strong as of late and attending a lot of events.

He didn’t enter enough sanctioned tournaments to be considered

Bring Earl back!!!
If they are going to lose, at least make it entertaining…

What tournament are you going to?

I’m going to guess the last pick will be a surprise like Lukas or Atencio.

Does anybody else who tried this have any more feedback or suggestions before we finalize things?

i dont quite get the purpose of playing one pocket ghost in rotation

if this counts as an suggestion

One more wildcard pick to go, I believe. Most expect it to be Sky Woodward.

Yeahhhh, well Ernesto and his son are respected players and table mechanics.

Having said that, I’m a firm believer you NEVER wet down the rails or the bed of a table with anything. Chalk under the cloth turns into mud, and slate and rail rubber doesn’t dissipate moisture well. Not to mention Pumice, which is the gritty crap that makes Lava what it is can’t be good for cloth, irrelevant of how Ernesto and son think or do. I think Simonis might tell you the same.

Also, 3 years between coverings? In a commercial hall? Really?
