    Oscar vs Meglino

    If all things equal, experience wins out. Oscar's experience showed even though he may have been tiring.

    To Be a Better Player

    This is a complicated thread. I don't believe everyone can attain greatness in any sporting endeavor unless they have some innate god given intellect and physicality for what they're trying to accomplish. To me, it's the "Ah Ha" moment you arrive at when you figured the puzzle out. You see it...

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

    Efren played all the games well but in todays game he'd be a weakling jumping the ball and breaking from the box. In tough defensive battles he might prevail on any size pockets but he simply could not put packages together and jump out of trouble. In fact many top Filipinos have difficulty...

    The hooker walks one side of the street and the pimp stands on the other side watching. They both want the same result.

    Premium Chalks – Are They Worth It?

    Dave, thx again for the science you bring to the game. Once upon a time a long long time ago, i played in a predominately Carom room where Tweeten Yellow Band chalk was used. The carom players felt that the "grittier" Yellow Band allowed for extreme english without the miscues that occur with...

    How would you do this?

    Can you even reach it without an extension? With the extension you would have trouble powering the object ball. Bob Jewett correct in shooting one rail make the fifteen but call the eight as well and find a spot on the rail to leave the cueball. Phone a friend to shoot it for you - that be John...

    Justin Bergman vs Tom Cousins

    Back in the day, Dave Matlock was THE MAN on the bar box. But put him on a big table and he couldn't beat the top payers. My point is everybody has a speciality and this match is no exception. Bergman has his hands full regardless of the outcome.

    Johnny loses his mind on livestream

    Charles Dickens - It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. JA had it all going. He had the sponsors, the game and the victories. Something happened. I’m not sure anyone knows for sure but he’s a shell of his former self.

    SVB v. Fedor Gorst

    I believe as we age our reflexes, sighting and stamina erode. So is Shane on the downside of his career? Maybe and maybe not. I watched with great interest George Foreman recapturing the Heavyweight Boxing Championship at 45 yrs of age. In his interviews after his career was over, he spoke at...

    SVB v. Fedor Gorst

    This is good news for the sport. Getting two of the best to face off, being able to pick sides on who wins and why, youth against age (so to speak) and predictions about the future of the game is what will fun to watch. I can't wait.

    Hubert Cokes and Titanic Thompson Golf

    The Biography of the “ Unsinkable Titanic” is a great read that you cannot put down. I read it about 30 years ago and then lost the book and couldn’t find it. So many stories about his travails but much of it does not get into his demons and from what I’ve heard he had plenty. For all the money...

    US Open and Mosconi coming to ESPN

    I'll bet ESPNs viewing of the Mosconi Cup will be on tape delay during the Stupid Bowl. Pardon me, Super Bowl. That'll give it a real shot to be appreciated by the viewers.
