2025 Reyes Cup, Oct 16-19, Manilla. Team Asia vs Team World

Browser viewing trick I just stumbled on watching yesterday's replay:

The spacebar key remembers the last thing you did.

If you click with the mouse on the 10 sec rewind button, then every time after that, pressing the spacebar will rewind 10 sec. If you then click with the mouse on the fast forward 10 sec button, every time afterward pressing the spacebar will fast forward 10 sec. Same with the full screen button.

This is on a Mac using Safari. Untested otherwise.

I haven't found any key combos to fast forward and rewind like the J and L key on youtube do.

When Efren and Ralf Souquet played in the Sands Regency Finals in Reno years ago Ralf would rack the 2B in the 2nd row, on the opposite side of where he broke from. The announcers even said he did that so it would come down table along with the 1B.

Well, I don’t about what the announcers said, but if you’re breaking from the wing, the ball that you place behind the 1 in what you identify as the “second row” on the opposite side that you break from. That ball becomes the second most likely to go on the break, the first most likely being the wing ball, at least in the traditional manner of racking the 1 on the spot as it was back then when the match you reference occurred.

The ball in that position generally goes directly to that sides long rail, and often off that rail directly into the opposite side pocket.

Poll: What kind of pool do you prefer watching, whether virtually or on-site?

Rusty in Montana
Living here in Montana watching top players playing live and in person is a rare treat , so for me I turn to You Tube for my fix for top flight pool matches .
Locally there are only bar tables that are readily available and yes I miss playing on a 9' table , if mine was a perfect world I'd have a 10' table and a house large for it and have friends over for pool and some BBQ !

So until I win the lottery I'll be satisfied with bar tables and YouTube ha ha

Wow! Pressure on Fedor to be the first one out of the gate (without the team) on Day 2 for Team ROW. Interesting they will have 5 matches today. If it's another whitewash, I imagine that it will be reduced to 4 total.

Looking at the order of play for Team ROW, it is kind of revealing who JJ "might" think is strongest to weakest so far. Fedor, Jayson, Sky, Francisco, and Moritz, in that exact order.

he's a double world champion, US open champion, he doesn't have the right to feel pressure against a kid with no title to his name 😉

FSR is the weakest link at the moment. he's been fighting this twitchiness his entire career. when he manages to curb it we all know how crazy good he can can be. if i were JJ i would bench him as much as possible

I believe they have to take turns playing singles JAM. I don’t read too much into it, although the best 2 players for Team ROW was common knowledge (Gorst & Shaw).

The Keith McCready Story Has Been Released

JAM said:
I don’t fear leaving this world; I only fear Keith being alone in it. If I could choose, I’d outlive him, not out of selfishness, but out of love. Still, life writes its own endings. I can’t choose when my story ends, but I pray he’s never left to walk it without me.

That's some powerful writing there. I feel privileged to have read it. :cry:

Shoot a Million Balls? Give me a break.

Tommy Kennedy is another good example. He not only shoots for center of pocket but minimizes everything that can be minimized to eliminate error prone degrees of freedom.

It is laughable how some "knowledgeable" pool experts trash talk Hopkins and Kennedy because of their style of play when these two champions are 2-time U.S. Open 9-Ball winners among several other titles.

Even the great Cole Dickson banked long thin cut shots off the rail on their way to the pocket because that was necessary if you wanted to make the ball. But his position was so tight unless there was good reason, he shot center pocket.

Lotta people ( me didn't for sure) don't even realize there is slack to do that.

Big issue and the reason people may avoid the rail is the OB hanging at the slow roll it's often shot. The cut should be shot with enough oomph for the OB to bounce off the facing or spin it picked up on the way in will just kill it.

Every table???

Never said that. I've always referred to my Gold Crown IV.

I've played on Nick Varner's Gold Crown V and the spreads after the break were better. The same goes for other tables that I have played on as well.

You said 25 years and nothing has changed lol I stick with your break is the problem not the table
