Met Frank at the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas circa 1998. Nice guy with a winning personality. He'll be missed. Condolences to his family and friends.

Even worse, people will comment on the video post who OBVIOUSLY never watched it, and say the dumbest things! I had to refrain from blasting some of the people on facebook.

That happens here quite a bit also, but I think it is much worse on Facebook.

Lots of us DO appreciate your work, thank you again.

Thank you for being among the minority who actually watches my videos before commenting.

At every local event I go to, and also the local events I am the TD, the TD says at the player's meeting to record any close hits in slow motion. EVERY single player has that capability on their phones. There is really no reason NOT to do it, imo. Unless we are talking about a big pro event.

If overhead high-speed cameras are not available at “big pro events” (which should be the case), I think the ref should use their phone like everybody else does, even though it might not seem “professional.” Getting calls wrong is much more unprofessional.

Also that split hit where you stop the CB. That one leaves no evidence.

Correct. In this rare situation, the benefit of the doubt goes to the shooter (unless video replay clearly shows a wrong-ball+first hit).

Don't know if anybody's been watching any of this, but Savannah Easton's game has taken a quantum leap in this tournament. She's into the Finals after beating Wei 8-3. I've watched her last 4 matches and I haven't seen her play anything close to this level before.

I saw the same thing, absolutely fearless, maybe the experience of being SVB's scotch doubles partner triggered some patterns & confidence she hadn't had before

Where would you place Jasmin Ouschan and Seo Seoa?

I view Siming as, more or less. retired from pool. It's very unlikely that, if she returned to pool, she'd regain the #1 spot.

Centeno and Chou are at the top of the women's game right now, and Han Yu is, perhaps, third. After that, Jasmin and Seo are probably next in the pecking order, and after them, it's hard to choose between Wei, Rubilen Amit, Shasha Liu, Kelly Fisher and Kristina Tkach.

Those are my top ten, but the possible return of Xiaofang Fu to competition could possibly shake things up at the top.

Sad news
Rest in peace Frank
My sympathy and condolences go out to your loved ones

lfigueroa · Apr 20, 2026

Many moons ago I was in SoCal and Frank and I tried to get together to play some 1pocket.

From our brief conversation, and by reputation, I knew he was a good guy, super friendly. He wanted me to come over his house to play but I figured if I was going to let The Barber give me the Sweeney Todd shave I wanted at least neutral territory and regrettably we weren't able to get together.

RIP, Frank.
