Huge implications for Mosconi Cup.

If Fedor doesn't finish higher than Thorsten then the German is an automatic pick for Team USA at the Mosconi.

And that would mean Johan would need to use a wild card on Fedor.

That's not an issue. Thorsten does not intend to play in the Mosconi Cup.

it's getting a bit crazy with yapp and the shafts and the weight bolts. it is possible to miss a shot without blaming the cue..

ronnie alcano went down this rabbit hole, even to the point where opponent asked him to stop changing shafts in his line of sight. alcano was obviously crazy in other ways too but i don't think it's sound to develop this equipment obsession

Earl Strickland was like that in his old fiberglass CueTec days, always changing shafts

Break tips.. whats good?

Waste of money. The BK tip was developed for control and breaking speed.. you don't need a ton of chalk. Break tips should be slightly flat for maximum power if that's what you perfer... so many player have their break tip shaped like a freaking playing tip... it's not... that's why it's a dedicated breaker... and the BK rush tip is not phenolic..

I shape both my break tip and my jump tip to nickel shape, I find this shape to give me more control on these shot.
The tip placement is more accurate and makes it easier to draw on these shots.

I shape my playing tip to dime but it usually gets flattened a bit after a session or two to nickel shape and I tend to leave it like that.

Leveling a predator arc

They advertise a "22 point leveling system", so I imagine it's going to be fairly straightforward. The problem is that it should have been done when the slates were initially set. If they didn't secure the seams, you risk having them shift when you level it afterwards.
Put your level on all 3 slates and see if they're in the same plane. This will let you know if they people that set it up had any idea what they were doing.
Get it as close as you can at the feet without messing with the slates first.

Pro Pocket Size TOO Small for 9 Ball

filler comes from american pool, as does 95% of euro pool players. some british players like melling, jayson and imran majid started out playing snooker. it's a predominantly british thing.

of the non-european bunch, it's mostly former colonies that play snooker. pakistan, india, hongkong, etc.. also countries like iran and thailand that was under british influence play snooker.

and despite the retarded snooker vs pool debate, successful snooker to pool converts in the men's game are few and far between. fraser patrick and stefan kaspar are two current ones that are having i guess decent results..

Filler said he started as a snooker wannabe before he tore up the pool juniors. The point is the marksmanship ethic is endemic to Euro and Asia pool.

World Pool Championship - Bahrain 2027

Empty stadium, quite arena, silence matches :cautious:

Bring it to Taiwan, Vietnam, The Philippines or Cardiff or Vegas/Taxes/Florida please, get a deal with a betting company as the main sponsor, and work with the local government for tourism destination promotion, have it broadcasted in Asian ESPN, European Sky Sport, and USA ESPN plus streaming. The local government will help with prize money, they can get more $$$ from sponsors as well (in Asia, if local GOV. "asks", local companies and global corporations like Samsung, Toyota etc. will put in money right away, hell they never pay a dime in taxes as one of the perks so $1mil donation is nothing..., $1mil is easy maybe make it $2mil, in Europe, many betting companies will sponsor, $1mil is a drop in the bucket, in USA get Predator and CueTec etc. to sponsor lol, sign 2-3 year deal, do it in summer (May - Aug) for travel purposes as well... start to work now maybe 2028/2029/20230 we can have a real Word Pool 9-ball Championship like we had in 2000 - 2007 as well...

i must presume they explored these options before landing in a war zone.

i think the question is rather, is it worth clinging onto the $1 million prize fund if it can only be achieved in the gulf countries?

How many cues is too much?

Hail Mary Shot
Lowell said:
Thankfully Pechauer has customization module now, that's exactly what I was looking for (modular production cue that isn't too expensive).

Now that is a cue brand that is worth considering especially with customization. Not to mention it is cheaper than some other Asian production cue that they were advertising to cost initially around $1600 but is now down around $600. I like the quality and aesthetics of the Pechauer. I would have considered it if I didn't have an upcoming order for another custom.
