So you’re a slow player too huh? Look everyone that is a serious player should have a “process”, what others call a PSR. But when players in a game as straightforward as 9 ball have to recheck their shot line, angle on the next ball, etc. 2,3 or 7 times then that’s ridiculous. That kind of over evaluation and analysis is exactly as I stated in my first post, gamesmanship or an individual that doesn’t trust his instincts or training. As some would say, it ain’t rocket scienceRdiculous.
Agreed. Moritz only has one bad habit - how he places his chalk.
I think he could be top 5 now even. But he has made it clear that family comes firstFeijen is such a nice guy away from the table, but when he's playing, he always looks like he's going to stomp on his opponent's head! One of my all-time favs.
If he knew what he knows about the game now 15-20 years ago, he'd have many more titles than he already does. This could apply to lots of other players, I suppose, but I am not sure I have seen a player's game grow so much between his mid to late 20s to his late 40s.
Orange 5I think someone should produce a “Get Off My Lawn Open” for the AZ curmudgeons:
No jump cues
Old Gold Crown Tables
Only Master chalk
No Carbon Fibre
Green cloth
Centennial Balls with the traditional colours - Purple 4b
Hand rack for your opponent
One on the spot
What else am I missing?

I like the central location. It can be like an 8 or 10 hour drive from so many parts of the country.I've been wondering something, did they move the US open 9 ball to texas because the state has one of the longest running 9 ball tournaments in the country with the Texas open? Also, I know there was some documentary released within the last year or so about pool in texas.
I know those are stretches but any chance those two things had a say in them going there this year?
Ahh..The score was posted incorrectly on the screen. The score was really 2-1 in favor of Leinein when Ebert won the fourth rack.
The score was then listed as 3-1 in favor of Ebert, before being corrected to 2-2.
And jump sticks should be banned and shot clocks should be on every table.

I was watching and Ebert got out to go up 3-1 then I saw the ref confer with both of them and they made the score 2-2. I looked back on the end of the rack and didn't see anything out of the ordinary.
