WNT Florida Open 2026, August 4-9, Orlando, Caribe Royale

I've decided I'm rooting for Anthony Meglino. Don't know much about him. Watched him play once; shot great. I think he's got a full-time job. But American pool needs some new blood on the scene, so go Anthony! Get ye on the MC!
Meglino ain't exactly "new blood," he's easily in his early 40's and a well established player. He's one of the top 10 one pocket players in the world. Yes he has a full time job, I'm pretty sure he's an engineer. A lot of people could be pros but make way more doing a real job lol.

Foul That Cost Kelly Fisher the World 8-Ball Title … Was It the Correct Call?

FYI, I just posted a new video that discusses and analyses the foul called against Kelly Fisher in the Finals of the recent Women’s 8-Ball World Championship that gave Chezka Centeno the match victory and the world title. ...
It's like the pool gods have decided that the ref has to decide the winner in all championships.

Banks, calling the shot

From onepocket.org regarding legal banks:

3.6 Every shot must be played ball first; no rail-first shots are allowed.

Cuts down the rail tend to be cushion-first, or simultaneous ball-cushion. Ball-first contact would probably not be compatible with pocketing the ball down the rail.
I meant to have the object ball on one of the spots, such as the head spot, and to play it onto the near point of a side pocket and then go along that rail to the corner pocket on the same side of the table as the side pocket. I think Rule 3.6 doesn't cover that case.

To Be a Better Player

You are right, about 1 thing, as long as you keep making balls, nothing else matters. The problem is that, APA is the only tournament and league that counts how many balls you made, the more the better. The rest cares about the end result, aka the money ball.

Name 1 tournament AJ Manas has won that 5 people can remember, none, he ain't gonna win any tournaments anytime soon until he slows down and surveys more.

Everyone ain't Tony Drago in late 90s early 2000s.
Even Josh Filler has slowed down and he surveys.
Everyone has 30 seconds per shot, make it counts.

Your "high" feeling when you feel you can't miss, only happens once in every other month.
Your fundamentals are there with you at all time.
My families are always there for me. Hoses and Batches come and gone.
I stick with what I have with me all the time :LOL:
AJ is a better player now than Drago ever was. I think only 19 years old, way ahead of the pro curve already. Give him a little time over here and see what happens. By the way, Johnny Archer never won one until age 21. Finished second in a few.

I disagree. When you get in stroke you can stay in stroke for a long time as long as you don't take any extended breaks from playing.

Foul That Cost Kelly Fisher the World 8-Ball Title … Was It the Correct Call?

too close to call, ref is right
Wouldn't that make the ref outta line? There is no appeal process either.
That ventured, it looks like the ball went back towards the cushion and stopped a hair short. That would leave a gap to ponder - still 50/50; players favor.

Me< I've seen enough Twilight Zone and lean towards vice/evil, telekinesis if you need physics.
