Once the field was cut in half all good players left. Good move moving it to Texas. Many good players there who do not travel. Money players!
Carlo is an escape artist, although Lu Hui dogged outs in the last two games. AJ played a near flawless match against Jayson, except for that one missed nine ball.

I enjoy watching AJ play. Great stroke, good rythem. He misses some shots though where he just looks careless. He just needs to take a little more time between shots.

Breaking from the head spot

Everybody knows why the WNT have the break set up the way they do. However players figured it out and now the 1 still ends up in the side. So if you really wanted to eliminate that from the game why not require players to break from the head spot? Or would they just figure that out too and they find a way to always make a ball?

Danny D suggested this a long time ago. Not sure if it's ever been tried but I like the concept.

I don't think today's break rules are great by any means but it does provide some solid variance in layouts and the cueballs final resting spot so it's good in that sense.

I'd like to see what happens if the 1 in the side is outlawed! lol

People didn't like that the corner ball was dead but now with templates and 9 on the spot the 1 in the side is pretty close to dead too. But again, the varied layouts is a pretty solid outcome.

Templates are going nowhere but they have a lot to do with the consistency people make the 1 in the side.

i missed that with lu hui but it seems taiwan is coming with some new strong players this year. they have seemed a bit stagnant of late in terms of rejuvenation

Chalk gate at the open !!!!

It's frustrating to no longer be the dominant player you once were.

These tournaments see balls and tables- new ones- cleaned after each match. The cumulative effect of chalk buildup isn't there.

Here is a massive skid in the Bergman vs Biado match at the Phoenix Open. New cloth and new balls, and it is early in the match. Perhaps it’s a coincidence but it sure looks like Justin is using Master.

Feedback on betting odds for US Open

M
you have to really add subjective to your objective as they are people and their chances are greatly related to personal issues and immediate past performance.
your starting to understand, and get it, so dont give up as understanding more than simple probability opens a vast array of things you can use for your advantage. in all works of life.

from just crossing the street to making millions in the stock market or land sales. its just how good you get and apply it.

I bought cheap balls on purpose

I own several sets of phenolic resin balls, they are unmatched in playability in my opinion, the league I play in uses polyester resin balls and boy do they play different to put it politely, to make things even worse, the polyester resin balls I do own are crap even for crap polyester resin balls, I picked up a set of cheap phenolic resin balls thinking they would play close to the polyester one's and they did not, it is a night and day difference, so I found a set of polyester one's on coolpooltables.com, they were sub $50 shipped, got them tonight and had to try them out right? I wasn't expecting much but was pleasantly surprised, no they don't play like phenolic but they did play quite a bit better than I expected, I figure the best way to learn how to adapt to play on different playing conditions is to play with different different balls on different tables, it's sorta like gambling with better players except you get to keep your $50.

You got to keep the balls, not the $50.
