So, back in 2000, you can see this in this video. It happened. Efren did, what Johnny thought Wiktor did. 56 minutes. Efren -15 and Dallas elected to have Efren break again. I saw another video from 2021 or 2022, where Darren was not allowed to continue shooting when Corey got an...

Anybody met Zielenski? I did. Not a fan. Not sociable at all. I saw him and talked briefly at the International Straight Pool tournament in 2024. I also talked to other fans about him, since he gave me the cold shoulder and they said the same thing. I don't ask for autographs and hardly...

Great analysis. Happy to see so many examples. I don't know why so many people are saying that Yapp knew it was a foul. He has the look of I know that was close so waiting to hear. He probably thought it was a foul but not for him to decide. Hard to see everything. I played a delicate kick...

So, is there a paint code for the Gold Crown V11 White Table? I want to paint my Gold Crown I, but I am not sure I want the old paint codes. I want to paint it white, like this pic. Any advice on how to do that? Is this the original paint code for Gold Crown's do you think?

Hope this spurs more interest. Is the International Straight Pool going to happen this year?

I am not sure what happened but I personally asked Kristina Tkach a few years ago about if she was going to make attempts and she said she was. Still hoping

Why do you say that? Yes, I keep waiting for more to try

84 Ball Run. I do recommend using a weight for the shaft with rail shots. I think I made two of those because of the weight. I messed up at the end. I did not want to use that ball as a key ball, but didn't see how to avoid it, and then of course I hit it way to tentative. I should have...

56 Ball Run. Too straight at the end.

Nothing special here, but best run of 2026 so far. 48. I was in a lot of trouble. It wasn't very clean and not how you should play. I did adapt pretty well.

It was like a curve double carom combination with the cueball

Here is my analysis. I am definitely impressed by how much detail he gives. He confirmed what I already knew being my biggest problem, which is my stroking arm is not straight. Honestly, how far my shaft goes to the left after contact, it is amazing I can make a ball. Laugh. I have tried...

Yes, just looks like a lot of angle. Not easy. Filler considered that as well. I have watched Filler quite a bit and also based on his comment, I believe he would hit pretty firm. I tried recreating this and had good fortune hit that way the 3 times I tried hit pretty firm

Ok, fine, in case anyone wants to actually look at the shot. It is at the 1:34 point. 1 hour 34 minutes. The American turned into the International. Anyway, here you go. This is the actual situation. How do you play this? See screenshot.

I was watching a video of Souquet and Lechner (2021 International) and Josh Filler was giving commentary. Max cut a ball in the corner and went into the side of the pack and he got stuck. Joshua said he would have used draw as that adds follow coming off the rail. Just got me thinking. This...
