    Best player ever for the cash?

    In 2021, Dennis Orcullo and Alex Pagulayan would be without peer in an all around championship for big money. Below them would be Joshua Filler and Shane Van Boening. Dennis holds up under pressure the best because he gives up ridiculous games and out runs them. Alex isn't interested in...

    Something is wrong with Team USA

    We lost almost every lag. Half the matches went double hill. USA is not used to the slippery tables and it showed in the lag.

    Stats -- 2018 Buffalo's Pro Classic One-Pocket, May 2018

    As a major sponsor of the Buffalo's Pro Classic, we wanted to make sure that the TV table was a challenge to the best players in the world. Frankly, on tables that are pro cut (4.5), the players abuse those tables so easily, we don't use any 4.5 inch pockets for the tournament. All tables are...

    Why the alternate break?

    Tournaments remain healthy when "dead money" play in it to give the better players odds on the money to make competing in them worth their while. Many different formats have been tried, with most tournaments dying off once the weaker players realized they couldn't really compete. Nowhere in a...

    Bergman vs Shaw updates

    Very impressed with Bergman's game last night. He stayed in line, had great cue control, missed very few shots, played masterful safes, and just out classed Shaw. His break was ok, but everything after the break was A+. As soon as I saw how Shaw was playing, I knew he would get out of line. He...

    Fight night matches

    The Danny Smith band wagon is getting fuller every week, buddy. Don't be surprised if he plays them all...and beats them.

    Why has no one beat Mosconi's high run?

    Straight pool is hard. It is humbling. When played by experts, you can go a long time without a shot. In the South, where the humidity reigns, the balls don't separate well. Most pros don't play straight pool because there is no money in it, it is humbling how hard it is to play it at an elite...
