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.

the glaswegian accent varieties (higgins, mcmanus) are tougher than edinburgh accent (hendry). i understand higgins well enough, but i once had a man from aberdeenshire call to my work and he spoke sheep

Accents are ridiculously regional in Scotland. Higgins is from Wishaw (hence the Wizard of Wishaw nickname) which isn't that far from Glasgow, but I'd say the accent is still subtly different from a true Glaswegian accent.

I don't actually think McManus sounds that Glaswegian either, didn't realise he was from Glasgow. But feel like he's probably toned his accent down for the media a lot more than Higgins.

I began playing pool in 66. Lots of cigarette smoke, burn marks on all the rails and no idea what cue tip was on those house cues.

Don’t recall it ever coming up in a conversation either.

I was 14 and had no idea what I was doing but I know I liked it. Cause I still lay pool! A little better too!

Back then the standard house cue tip was almost always Elkmaster.

This was a blast to watch , I most of Savannah's matches ( along with Jordan Helfrey and Sofia Mast ) Second place finish with 12 grand at 16 is amazing !!
