Neuhausen won the European Open this year, but he’s been very inconsistent. Some bad losses and early exits, including today. Definitely not consistent enough to be top 10 as the WNT rankings show. He has not done much else this year.

Stronger field than I expected. This event is fast becoming a showcase for all the unknown Filipino players who’ve got game.

Hello APA players and Fargo 600+,

I have a GC3 pool table, but I only play about 1 - 2 hours per week, yes that's right!

The new cloth and rails (new rubber/cushion) were installed two years ago, and they still look and feel practically brand new. I keep the table covered all the time.

The balls slide really fast, and the rails don't seem to grab English as well as the tables at my local pool hall with well-worn cloth.

Is there anything I can do to make my table play more like a well-used pool hall table? Any tricks to wear the cloth out without actually playing on it? LOL.

I swear, next time I change my cloth, or when a pool hall replaces theirs, I'm going to ask if I can take their worn cloth and pay for new cloth for them.

I'm looking for ways to slow the balls down a little and get better action off the rails. Any suggestions?

Common sense —we refer to some past players such as Greenleaf, Hoppe, Mosconi, Lassiter as “greats” - they used tips made from one piece leather and I guess they worked “ great”
Equipment is far over rated if you don’t have the stroke under pressure and if your stroke delivery is not consistently correct for each and every shot.
Tip hardness is probably 75% of the feel of your cue’s hit. Other than that my opinion is the rest is all in your head - maple, carbon, steel, ivory, layered , not layered- does anyone think it really makes you better- after many years I say - not really - all just personal preference as we add options.

jaybee sucal to start against sean malayan. i wonder how this kind of social media notoriety affects a player's progression? especially in a poor country. he probably makes decent money doing what he's doing with the selfies and stuff. (i'm social media illiterate)

edit: gemini estimates 30–80k / year revenue just from social media for the kid. good money in the philippines.
