Certainly reasonable, but right now, neither is playing as well as Alcaide. Once again looking at current form, I'd go with Big Kaci over his brother, after a third at the WNT Florida Open and a second at the World 10ball.

Kledio has been much more consistent than Eklent. Eklent has been hot and cold, going deep in some tourney and getting eliminated very early in others.

That said, Alcaide has been better than both this year. Lots of high finishes in big events.

Still, Szewczyk, WPA #1 right now, won the World 10ball and was second at the UK Open, showing outrageously strong form at each. He'd make Team ROW much stronger.

It would say something good about MR if it picked a player like Szewczyk, honoring his fine year overall in events outside the WNT.

Woj is not eligible under current rules, however. He has only played in two WNT events this year, the U.S. and UK opens.

I would pick Shaw, Neuhausen or ... Pecelj.

Is it time to play one pocket??

.... Appreciate any thoughtful comments.
I believe it's time.
It's obvious I'm missing out on something here.

You need time on the table staring at situations and finding solutions. You need a fairly good player as an opponent to put you in those situations and to show you why your solutions are no good at first.

If only there was a patient one pocket player there in St. Louis who could spar with you.

😍😍😍
If it's no big thing, you can measure the diameter.
But it's not that important. I would like to buy it from you.
Thank you very much in advance 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Diameter where it would meet your cue is 1.259 in.. The hole diameter is .74 and it’s .355 deep. Length is 1.23. The cap is not perfect but it’s very usable. I’ve had it for 25 years from a cue that the forearm warped.

Message me your shipping address and I’ll see how much to ship. If it’s reasonable, I don’t need any $$.

If it's not Shaw, the obvious choice to me is either Moritz Neuhausen or Kledio Kaci. The team needs a little youth.

Neuhausen won the European Open this year, but Kaci has been more conistent throughout the season. Won some smaller ranking events and has had a lot of deep runs.

Give me players currently in form.

Finally, when it comes to selecting teams for an event in which beating the most elite is required, I don't place much meaning on who performed at the satellite events (even though a couple of them had superstrong fields). Performance at the majors is a much better indicator of who will perform in a match against the most elite. Hence, I'd take Moritz, European Open champion, over Kledio right now.

Still, Szewczyk, WPA #1 right now, won the World 10ball and was second at the UK Open, showing outrageously strong form at each. He'd make Team ROW much stronger.

Could straight pool thrive with a gimmick format?

Being an old school, life long 14.1 player, and the only game I really play, the one thing that absolutely drives me into orbit when watching matches, is the damned shot clock...especially when that obnoxious warning beeper starts sounding...Straight Pool, is a true game of focus, concentration and strategy, that in my opinion should never have ANY time constraints between shots...it's just counter-intuitive to the very nature of 14.1...
