Fedor has something to prove in this match, Shane does not imo. Yeah, he can try to show he still has it, but he's done nearly everything he wanted to do in the game. Fedor wants redemption -and to sell stuff. With a win here he sells more. I'm only half joking with this one. I cannot begin to...

Same. A friend sent me a copy and I didn't absorb it like others have. Same with the Pleasures of Small Motions book. It could be that I am too dense for any of it to sink in.

Can't describe it but I know it when it happens. Sadly, not often enough.

If I owned a pool room it would without a doubt be playing on most TVs all 3 days. I have time to watch maybe 3-5 racks per day as things are so no, not buying it.

I heard they are starting earlier today than they did last year. Anyone have any info?

I haven't been playing lately but used a friend's cue while I was visiting AZ last week. It had a Lepro on it and it was fantastic. I have heard they are hit or miss but that one was a hit. I use duds exclusively and I imagine that is why I never got a bad tip. The guys who press know which...

I really like the look of that cue. Reminds me of a Hearns.

You staying warm or what? Here in TN we had flooding over the weekend, then snow, and now cold. Should be single digits overnight today and tomorrow. Our dogs love it. Originally from northern IL, so no biggie for us but the locals... Local schools are closed due to 2" of snow. People are...

Finally had time to watch the match. That was extremely high- level play from start to finish. I was very impressed by Mike's ability to grind through a tough rack after sitting in his chair watching his opponent catch a gear and decimate his seemingly insurmountable lead. That was a display...

Mickey's game jumped up an entire level last year. He is now hanging with the elite pros. Prime Mike would be a good game but he's going to need some major rolls to make this a close match today imo. I wish him the best. I truly would like to see him get back into form and rededicate himself...

Exactly this for me as well. I can tell when this happens. If I accelerate too quickly, my head must move ever so slightly and that spot on the OB becomes blurry for that fraction of a second. When I focus on a slow start to the forward stroke this never happens. It's frustrating that I cannot...

Diamonds would be better. Most players do not need buckets in order to play with a 30 sec shot clock. It may add a bit of drama when the clock starts at 15 seconds. The pockets at this event looked to be 5"+. It was fun to watch in any case.

I watched some of that. Well played Easy. Have you heard if they plan to keep the pockets that size? Some of the shots that fell in a couple of the matches were ridiculous.

Well rats. We knew it was coming but it's sad to say goodbye to such a character. RIP funny man.

WTF I would have killed for this information 25 years ago. I was lucky enough to be within driving distance of Bert when I was coming up. Then we had his VHS tapes and some from a few others. Not even 1% of what people have at their fingertips today. There are a lot of quality channels out...
