Januarta was impressive, but he got Yapp's "A" game and really had few chances down the stretch.

Nice to see Yapp back in stroke.

Januarta thumped Yapp on Thursday, 9-2. I didn’t think Yapp would lose twice to the young man sharing a hotel room with him. Albert wasn’t quite as sharp in the rematch, but what a talent. His safety and tactical play are advanced for a 17-year-old. No doubt owing to Yapp being a mentor in part.

That old stick and wrap would be fun to redo. I have done tons of wraps like on custom rod builds

What it is​

  • Origin: Popularized in the early 20th century, likely inspired by fly-fishing rod wraps — intricate, multi-strand weaves that give a polished, “rod bling” look

only as far as their voting rights can sway things. and not working so far.
the board may have different thinking than the players. and usually pool players are not known for good business decisions.

but they can certainly band together and have some clout.

The Players have nothing to bargain with and no player organization that formed like that is still around to my knowledge.

However it doesn't mean that promoting organizations need to starve the players with over controlling contracts when players
need to be on the move making the money they need to play tournaments. In my opinion.

Tyler Styer's impressive summer continues. He was 9th at Vice City, 5th at the Florida Open, 17th at the Arizona Open, and will have a Top 5 finish today. That's the kind of consistency we have so rarely seen from an American player in recent years, and it is something to get excited about. Wish him well today.

maybe he's taking lessons from his wife :LOL:

Nice wrap up Stu. I see four clear favorites but as you know anything can happen here.

I think Taiwanese player YL Chang may be the most interesting story out there. He always seemed to live in the shadow of Ko Pin Yi, Ko Ping Chung and JL Chang. As one who follows Asian pool more than most of us, can you (or any other forum member that follows Asian pool closely) tell us anything more about him?

Thanks for the input. I’m glad you enjoyed the video.

I do like “carom” better than “cannon.” I also like “combo” better than “plant.” What is the origin of “plant” in snooker.

tbh I've always wondered that myself. Just grew up hearing the word without knowing where it came from. Possibly the other response about the Latin term for to fix is correct.
