I would like to know what kind of eating habits they both have when playing in big tournaments. Do they eat light or stay full.
 
OK, on a serious note...

How does Jayson think playing British 8-ball affected his ability to learn pool later on? Which game is more difficult? How does he aim? How much of the time does he get shape using a center-ball hit? What does he think of TOI?

I'd love to have Ronnie try to explain his stroke and how it evolved over time. Are there really lots of unknown Filipino players who are monsters like him? Does he like American Rotation as a pro game? What does he think of TOI?
 
what is their most important aspect of the game that they focus on? In other words... what do they think is the most improtant thing they need to do to perform at their best.
 
Question for both players: Are they members of ABP and what is their thoughts on the ABP

Also are they going to play in the EXPO and what is thoughts about the added money lowered?

Also question for Shaw, Who has more talent.. him or SVB?

muahaha

Question for Alcano: In the past 50years what rank would he put himself vs other pinoys?

FOR BOTH PLAYERS: If they raced to 500 what would the score be?

ok thats all i got
 
For alcano... Has 10 ball overtaken Rotation as the game of choice played in the local philipine rooms? I see lots of recent local 10 ball matches on YouTube.
 
How they keep cool under the pressure of playing such intense competition? Do they practice anything to help their mental game?
 
I'd like to know how they analyze a table layout after the break. Have them break a few racks and walk us through their thinking. They don't need to play out the rack (that would take too long). Do they try to leave the CB in a specific spot or a general area? Do they plan from the 10-ball back or 1-ball forward? Etc.
 
question for both players: who do they think the current best player in the world is?
question for ronnie: it would be cool to know a little back story on the viking tattoo and that neon orange 5-ball cue
 
Playing in a noisy, sharking atmosphere... should players just accept it and deal with it,
or do they have the right to expect quiet?

What about players doing a little woofing and trash talk with each other... should that be encouraged or discouraged?
 
in their opinions, what is the most overlooked and under-practiced aspect of the game that keeps most decent to good amateur players from reaching the next level?
 
Questions for both Jayson and Ronnie

Here are my questions to both Jayson and Ronnie :-
1). When was the first time when you came to USA and played pro level pool ? And why did you decide to do it ?
2). What you think is your strongest game in pocket billiards ? 8ball/9ball/10ball/1pocket/str8 pool/3cushion or something else ??
3). How many hours / per day you used to practice before you started playing at pro speed ? How many hours you practice now ? What age you started ?
4). What advice will you give to someone who wants to be a pro level player ? What you think is the one most important thing that they should absolutely do to get at the pro level ?
5). Being a pro in any sport is very difficult, IMO it needs a lot of dedication and heart. During your early days did you have a fear that you might not make "it" ? What would you be doing now if you were not a pro pool player ?
 
how does jayson feel about him and the younger guys representing pool these days. also what kind of advice can he give someone close to his age trying to really take the game seriously. ask ronnie if he thinks there will be a young crop of philipinos to take up the reigns in the future. much like the initial pinoy "invasion" of the sport
 
There are stories floating around that Ronnie pulled his teeth out with pliers to be like Efren. Can you ask him about that. Is it true?
