Yeah it seems like Efren's advantage is in the cue ball control, kicking and safety play. The SVB vs Bustamante TAR matchup a few months ago demonstrated that Bustamante can outmanuver Shane in safeties and CBC. however, one could argue that Bustamante also had a more powerful break than Efren...

Who's better? I saw SVB play some near perfect pool at the SBE. Sure, he's not the fanciest kid on the block unlike Efren, but I would say his consistency with Cue ball control and shotmaking may be even better than efren in his era of dominance in the 1990s. Who do you think would win if they...

My top picks would be Efren, Wu Chia Ching, or Ronnie O'Sullivan. Bustamante wouldn't be bad either.

Spanky79, for your Info I have been down there before and half to 75% of those guys are overrated. It's a nightclub, not a pool hall.

This TV show is retarded. Nothing but a way for some slutty chicks and Horny men from Amsterdam to promote themselves even more. Hear this: NOBODY cares. None of you can play pool, and the pool (or the world at large) world could care less about any of you guys.

Efren reyes vs. Ronnie O'sullivan 9-ball race to 100 on 10 x 5 ft table Earl vs Ronnie Alcano 10-ball race to 100 on 10x5 ft table Shane Van Boening vs Ding Jun hui (Snooker player from China) race to 100 on 10x5 ft table.

How would the likes of Efren reyes (in his prime around early 1990s), Bustamante, Alcano, fare against a 100 race to strickland assuming the pearl was playing like he was last night, on a 10-5 ft table? Would they still be able to work their magic on this tougher table? Let the speculation begin.

Look at the shot efren makes at 2:23 in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhQHRzYe-28&feature=related How does he make the six ball do that curve? What english and strength is needed? Amazing shot btw.

I've played pool seriously for a year and a half now, and I seem to be stuck at that stage where I can run a rack of 8 ball or 9 ball if the balls are in convenient shape, but I can't consistently make runs (more runs than not runs). It seems that my cue ball control is good but not consistent -...

The IPT has not made a smart decision by letting the most popularly voted two players match up, because results depend too much on who's too lazy to vote 20 times and who's diligent enough to spend 5 hours a day clicking on links online. It should have simply invited some of the most popular...

I agree wholeheartedly that G-force and Foldes will be a boring match - I don't think I'll even watch it in fact. I keep on voting for the Ronnie o'sullivan efren reyes match but apparently there's not enough demand for that.

liljohn30, Where did you get this DVD, or what is its name?

Would a top female or male player in the professional billiards association be able to consistently run out 15 balls in rotation, or this is too difficult for even the pros? I am currently using 15 balls to practice for 9 ball rotation, but find it extremely difficult to navigate through the...

Does anyone have an clips of that famous match Black widow vs magician?

Hi Are real snooker balls in tournaments 2 and 1/16 inch instead of 2 and 1/8 or 2 1/4? Also, living in the US, where can I buy such sized balls (ozone billiards and pool dawg don't seem to have them in 2 1/16 inch sizes). Thanks
