World Pool Masters 2017. The cue was near one of those big lights.

Alex should have beaten Ali 9-6 in the quarterfinals. He dogged a straight in 7b on the hill.

Search the forum. Many people have used them and like them. I don’t know if anyone has compared them to the Precision Tips.

My last year at the Derby was the first year they moved the casino to just outside of the tournament area. It certainly seemed to me that the action in the action room was down because the players had lost their money in the casino. Maybe it rebounded in later years.

Well, he’s #1 on the two year list. He hasn’t had a great year this year.

In terms of a physical casino, I would guess that the willingness of the participants (players and fans) to actually go gamble while they are there is also a factor. This is one area where I’d think the pool community is high on the list. Online gambling has been a major sponsor of...

My bad (as the kids say). I knew it was added as a WNT a year or two ago. I didn’t check to see if it had stopped being one.

I once made 2 balls in 10b and was dead nuts perfect on the 1B with a wide open table. But then the 10b slowly kept rolling and dropped - so it spotted up leaving me fully hooked on the 1b! Made me wish the rule was the ball spots after your inning (or I assume once you run all the balls the...

That’s disappointing. I think it was a WNT event in 2024 as well but I could be wrong. Any idea why it’s no longer a WNT event?

The fact that the DCC 9b is now a WNT event probably means we don’t have to worry about them cross scheduling it.

On the greatest contributions that you, Dr Dave and others I’m sure I’m forgetting have made to the area of officiating is educating us on the importance of the ball path on judging hits. Whenever these videos show up I always pause the video before the shot and figure out where the CB will go...

If they don’t have the World Championships in 2026 it will be a travesty. Assuming that the Saudis gave their sponsorship money despite their backing away (which I think is the case), for WNT to not find a new venue and hold the biggest money event would be terrible.

What’s your review of the new Pags tip? I haven’t seen many independent reviews yet.

The final match had great shots and surprising blunders. At 2-2 in the 5th set AJ scratched getting to the 8 or 9b and then Spain broke and ran for the match. I’m sure AJ feels horrible, but he only made the last mistake - there were mistakes by everyone at some point.
