I'm 67 and played in a 610 and under 10 ball 180 miles away from home last year. Full field of 48 and I headed home after losing the point match at 8 pm. There were about 4 matches backed up on the losers side. All the kids there couldn't believe I was quitting but after 11 hours a man's got to know his limits. Probably would have waited until 1 am and got third place anyway:D

Funny how what we want to get out of the game evolves as we get older.

The 2002 World Championship would've been Hendy"s 8th if he had beaten Peter Ebdon. He had 16 centuries during that event and he put it to O"Sullivan 17-13. O"sullivan had been saying he'll send Hendry back to his sad little life.

He's often said he approached the final with the wrong attitude as in his head he'd pretty much won it when he beat Ronnie. Think it's one of his biggest regrets.

Ebdon is a good guy. Met him at a charity night he'd driven a long distance to play in for free. Was the only one of the players that turned up with a waistcoat as if he was playing in a proper tournament.

That's a lot of smack talk for someone who hasn't used them. Plus, you have no idea how much these even are. Seems pretty ignorant to me.

Wow. Throwing Bob under the bus like that. I mean, Bob’s been around a minute and knows a lot of things. Bob’s opinion vs “new user.” Hmmmm

I also agree it is gimmicky and probably not useful for most people. But like many pool training things, some folks will find it useful.

"Gold Crown" Ball Polisher

no it's off axis in that video. if you want a simple direct drive/high torque motor to use search for "High Torque Electric 450RPM Reversible" on ebay and you'll see the exact motors I use. They are only $100. I've ordered a bunch of them, they work well. I also just checked on amazon and there's someone selling them for $85. Even better. Just make sure to get the 450 rpm model (1:3 gear ratio) The ball cleaner doesn't need to go that fast, but that rpm range is almost perfect and good to have extra if you want it.

Best part is they're small so even after fitting them with a coupler to direct drive a platter they still can make for a very compact design. This model is only 13 inches tall.

Hey RazaXML, very professional looking! May I ask how you attached the motor (I bought the same) which has a woodruff key attachment to a wooden platter?

WPBA US Open

I watched the final matched and the break looked like the Ko bros break but that's all I could tell. The combos were an oddity but that's all I could tell about 'em. RR had the two bad breaks that finished her off as well. Chou is a veteran and there was probably a ton on the match. One new thing I noticed, they took the big break and Chou did a take and went back for her purse. :ROFLMAO: WTF? Never seen that before. lol. Threw the strap over her shoulder and pressed the purse into her side as she walked off.

I don't think you can compare the number of centuries when the equipment has changed so much. Modern cloths far faster which makes it much easier to develop balls. And last few seasons some of the top players have been complaining they've been making the pockets too easy, which narrows their advantage over the weaker players.

hendry's prime, and titles, were after the introduction of the thin strachan cloth. also both hendry and davies say pockets were softer in the 80's..

the recent complaints have been about saudi and chinese events mostly, and seem correct

Another stupid thread from me: golf is harder than pool

I remember Earl Saying pools harder than golf ys ago.
I know Grady Matthews once said to get good you have to hit at least 2,000,000 pool balls.
In golf, if you hit two million balls, you better be in Dam good shape, as I've heard many pro golfers often need some type of surgery.

I was a decent golfer ~10-12 handicap. I quit for many years and tried to take it back up. Shanked everything, not long after was when I discovered that my left shoulder was gone, no rotator cuff movement and a 3 inch bone spur. Now closing in on a year after shoulder replacement surgery I need to go hit the range and see if I'm still shanking everything.
