From the looks if it, they'll never lose.

He was very nervous on that nine ball and relieved when it went in.

the UK commentator said he spoke to Moritz about it, and apparently he does it as part of his pre-shot routine once he's sure of the shot he wants to play. Thinks it helps him focus

Also I believe Bob Jewett pointed out a billiards player did this to prevent anyone accusing said player of using the chalk to measure kick shots.

$299 for a 8 ball cleaner, and this one looks sturdy, well built and attractively designed for a pool room in your home,
is a friggin’ killer deal. “Hey now….” as old Hank would say to Larry……it is such a good deal, I want to order one.

I already have a BallStar that’s served me well for nearly 30 years…….Yup, I don’t need one but I’d like one anyway.

Have you considered a special qualified offer for only pool room operators and it is only for the 16 ball version.


Order a 16 ball cleaner for X dollars…(ex. $385) by Jan. 10th. The offer is only for a 16 ball version which is what a pool
room would require. I’d include a promo offer of buy two (X dollars). Every pool room operator needs at least one 16 ball cleaner and a backup. Sierra Billiards, where I a pool member, has some Diamond ball cleaners but I’ll tell them about this offer. Anyone with a table should take advantage of this special for a 8 ball Clean Gleem if they don’t have a ball cleaner.

I feel like SVB wasted half Sky's time there trying to give advice and they didn't have an extension and it made him rush, miss and ultimately cost USA the point.

There was a point Jayson was coaching Lebubu that it felt counter productive too. Sometimes you just need to let your teammate shoot.

While likely nobody on this board commenting can truly question the pool skills...I have to agree with this 100%. Even in league pool, I've seen so many examples of this to come to the conclusion that unless it is so unbearably bad...you just don't come to the table to coach unless asked. When you have someone that is a 550 or above...the player knows what to do or what their tendency is. When we are talking about world beaters...good god...only bother them with coaching when they ask. Team USA is embarrassing us at pretty much every facet of the game.

WTF. The 6 did not pass the 9. And he hit too soft, leaving the ball over the pocket. Terrible all around. Sky messed up both matches vs Alcaide in the team game.

could've played the tickle. too thick

1) has there been any 9 ball break?

2) there has been a shot where the cue ball dropped dead after bouncing on the rail. Day 2 I think. Anyone recall the shot? The cue ball jumped on the rail and efffectively dropped dead next to it. Never seen it before.

There was one 9 Ball break yesterday. Forget which match.

Anybody catch the commentary on Moritz today where they point out he put his chalk directly on a diamond on the rail each shot?
That's some OCD....

Woof woof!

It's like there a competition among all the American players except SVB to see who can make the most unbelievable miss. If I weren't so sure they were trying to win, I'd almost be having visions of the 1919 Black Sox. I've lost count of the number of routine runouts they've dogged.

Cannot say that I fancy him as a coach either. (Questionable selection, and not covering us in glory in his interviews, and I bet not commanding major respect\effective motivational speeches to team either...)

hate to quote myself...but wanted to add a nice choke to throw away that out on the team hill-hill match. JUST BRUTAL.

Hey, that 6 ball would have gone in on the UP bar box…

I don't understand the position on the 6 or the shot on the 6 by Skyler at all.

Brutal

A joke.
