Joe Prince's rating is 737. He seems to thrive in this format (easy table conditions, 7 footer, short shot clock) and play above that rating. Which means he has a bunch of games in the system where he plays more like a shortstop? Either that, or he has won a lot of close races against lesser competition?

In the 2025 Houston Open his performance over eight matches was a 670: https://digitalpool.com/tournaments/houston-open-nineball-main-event-2025/performance

Along with a 7-3 loss to a 770 in the mini (again a roughly 670 performance): https://digitalpool.com/tournaments/houston-open-nineball-mini-2025/performance

i would think the fargo is all based on big table pool, he plays the 9-ball tour in UK. do UP even report to fargo? most other brits are not rated

The guy known as "Superman" in our sport is Roberto Gomez. You should probably include one of his shots.

Been watching this tournament and seeing players I never heard of eating up 8 ball on a bar table. I thought 8 ball on a bar table was supposed to be more difficult because of congestion, but it sure does not look that way in this tournament.

i think that's still true for sub-750 players.

regarding that bergman - rodney match i remember watching a CSI 8-ball US open when they played on diamond barboxes. neither rodney or his opponent missed a single ball, and that was a longer race than this

I'd love to see this shot executed with a super high speed video camera. I'm just curious what the interaction with the tip and the cueball looks like.

My wife has the Meucci Rose cue with the original 1994 shaft and a black dot shaft that came with her Meucci Glass Rose cue.
The original has quite a bit more whip and flex than the black dot. I don't know why,I'm not a wood specialist but you can see and feel it. I believe both are 13 mm.
If you want to see some flex watch Mike Sigel break, I don't know how his shaft doesn't break

What's the length of the butt from the joint face to the butt cap?

What do you want to do? How much room do you have?

I wouldn't really call that The color of money shot because that's a common shot done by almost every trick shooter in an exhibition. I'll tell you one shot you can recreate which is not original but not common either.

It's the shot to Jack klugman does the opening of The Twilight episode a game of pool. It's a double kiss multi-real kick shot. Generally when I show it to somebody they've never seen it before.

I think I know what shot you are talking about but can you post a link to the episode?

Most of us commonly call that shot "The Color of Money Kick Shot." As far as others doing that, I only know of Tom Rossman doing a variation of this shot in an exhibition. I use the same variation that Tom does. I know Venom doesn't use it. Maybe a lot of the people from before used it or pool players that dabble in trickshots use it.
