Efren is no longer the dominant player he once was in 8/9/10 ball some years ago but he is still pretty much competitive against younger players. the fact that he could still compete and beat top younger players just shows his skill level. despite his seniority and grandpa status, he is...

what was unethical or out of place celebration was Earl Strickland's dancing on top of the table after bagging the World 9 ball championship against Bustamante several years ago in the U.K. considering that Bustamante's daughter died while he was playing in the London event and playing in the...

I somehow understand how or what Parica is feeling. he was the top dog of Philippine pool, yet was never as popular or celebrated as the number 2 Reyes was when they came in the States. kinda felt like an insult or felt neglected if you ask me. Reyes became a worldwide pool Icon while Parica is...

MIKA IMMONEN doesn't sound like American. besides, which team did he played for in the Mosconi Cup?

yup. was kidding. maybe you could explain it to PAT ! :grin::grin::grin:

therefore an LD shaft is bad for English !

anybody recall the 2008 WPC? I believe it was one of the poorest organized pool major event driven by arrogance and corruption. the supposed bonus or giveaway to players never came. and I'm quite unsure if all of the participants in the money rounds got paid or paid full.

I have both tried using a regular maple shaft and a LD shaft. I must say honestly that I shot better with the LD shaft. my accuracy and ball control was more precise. this statement is coming from a regular shaft user. btw, I tried shooting with a colleague (novice at pool) of mine who uses an...

J&J cues are of very good quality in general. don't be fooled by it's cheap and affordable price. you'd be surprised that they are better than some other well-known cues.

JA never complained before the match. JA never complained during the match. JA never complained after the match. there's no point on trying to know something that isn't even a discussion nor do the person concerned cared to whine about. that's that. if there was really something going on, we...

I think that is a pretty shallow reason considering that Johnny has been a pro for a long time and would just simply succumb to a simple racking argument. if you consider it as a blatant sharking, that's pathetic. if I were in that situation, I wouldn't mind my opponent racking up the balls or...

thanks guys, now that I read fully what gulfportdoc's statement was, I believe it's really outrageous. so what's wrong with chopping down the winnings? it ain't illegal and in no way immoral. it is more of a selfless act rather than selfish. besides, those boys came down a long way from home...

LOL. it would benefit Efren, but in regards to that, he doesn't seem to care much about loser's pay-out if it's small or big. what he is more concerned is about winning. some guys are yapping because they don't have the confidence or belief that they could win. and in retrospect, they would be...

just a quick analogy. those who protested that the winner should only have 15k would readily dismiss themselves as losers of the tournament. that's why champions or winners of the tournament gets or are given the bigger cheese. you wouldn't expect that Tiger Woods to be given a lesser half just...

here is where we miss the Efren of Old. if Efren didn't miss those easy shots that the Old Efren wouldn't normally miss, Efren could had surely strolled his way in a 3-0 win fashion. Efren's pocketing skills is that important. no offense to Shannon and I say that he is an excellent 1P player...
