Chua really has been a much needed breath of fresh air to pool over the last year or two. Fun to watch, expresses passion and seems like an all round good egg. The cue ball was definitely not reacting normally in the videos I saw. That being said, surely if there was a substance applied to...

Brecel is extremely talented, who has a great top gear but his low game is awful. I think an in form Trump has too much for him in the next round. If i had to bet on a winner, it would be Zhao. I think he will finally break the Chinese duck and become the first asian snooker world champion. He...

I can't argue with that. I like having a universal rating, but I don't play money games anymore and rarely play proper tournaments, so so for me it is not an issue. I can certainly see how a vague local rating or no rating at all can stimulate participation in tournaments and action matches.

Correction, it should shatter delusions. You still get sub 600 women professing to be pro level and sub 700 men professing the same. You can't cure delusional people. I personally love Fargo, I think mine is pretty accurate for the level I play at and for people I have seen play who have a...

I have been using a Woodworth cue for four years now and I absolutely love it. It also looks great with the Cynergy shaft that I use. It is an extremely solid playing that feels like a one piece to me. Unfortunately, I may have to part with it due to finances, but it is certainly the favourite...

A number of the top European players grind their players into the dust with slow play in the early rounds of tournaments before the shot clock is introduced. It is unwatchable pool, but I understand it as they are playing for a living and it makes it tough to fade for less experienced players...

I can see the WNT evolving to this format at some point, as it gives pro status more credibility. Q school is incredibly difficult, only the super talented with a winners temperament make it to the main snooker tour. Being a "pro" should really mean something.

Pijus made great strides last year and he certainly looks like he has the game and temperament to take it to win a major event this year. That jump to true elite major winner appears to be a big one. Is there one particular attribute that you think sets those players apart? Is it simply that...

Last year we saw Mickey Krause and Johan Chua really come to the fore as well as a number of players who did not necessarily win events, but did some damage in major events. Who do you people think will be the emerging stars this year? and who do you think will kick on and start making waves for...

Puerto Rico in and around San Juan, has some great pool halls with 9 foot tables. https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/san-juan-puerto-rico-pool-rooms.550024/

Congratulations Tom! Extremely well deserved. His talent, innovation and passion for pool is only surpassed by him being a truly great person.

Thanks for sharing. In bars in Florida ad NYC I have played in, that would be pretty harsh if your opponent got the hook by scratching on the cue ball and requiring you to shoot past the line.

I had one the other week, where my opponent tried to claim the win as I made a long shot on the 8 close to the side rail and it hit the side rail before going in the pocket. Claimed I had banked it. For your second point, saying that you have to bank the 8 when there is a long line of people...
