    Do you think this wa the right shot? (UK Open, Moritz Neuhausen)

    Pros are still human. I would bet on Neuhausen admitting in retrospect that he should have made a different choice.

    UK Open 2026, London, May 26-31

    It's not that small. With a 13 point difference, a 10-11 match would be fair. For a longer race, a fair race would be something like 43-47.

    I'm actually surprised more people don't call him "chef" or "The Chef".

    UK Open 2026, London, May 26-31

    Saw someone posted this on Reddit, where a player got up and down 10 times on a shot and took 4 minutes: Holy moly this Lopotko guy plays slower than a Hennessy Raulito scotch doubles team. Edit: I searched his name in this forum and the only notable thread that came up was one of AtLarge's...

    Do the best players you know have OCD or perfectionistic qualities moreso than the average person??

    Probably the opposite in my experience. The best players I've met have mostly been the type to be less stuck on perfection and don't let mistakes and bad play eat at them as much.

    Dumping - caught

    One juicy detail that got left off of this discussion: the text messages explicitly state that they were planning to fix another match between Thomas and a player with a 790 Fargo at the same venue (La Bestia). Joao was going to set the game up and says that "he is willing to do business with...

    Dynaspheres and WNT Launch Major Partnership as the New Balls of the Tour

    Already a case of confusion - in his opening match, Jayson Shaw played the 3 while the 2 was still on the table.

    Wood vs carbon fiber shafts for top pros - I went through the Fargo top 100 to see who uses what

    I'm also curious, but it took me about an hour to compile these results and I'm not motivated enough to do it again. Unfortunately, it's not a task that's automatable with AI yet, based on my testing a few months ago.

    Dumping - caught

    Source for the conclusion of the story here: See comments for full context. IMO, pretty half assed apology and all they did was give back the money they stole 🙄

    Getting casino betting back and new sponsorships

    Why are we even discussing casinos? Casinos account for only a tiny sliver of modern day sports betting. The question instead should be how to get prediction markets (Kalshi, Polymarket) and sports betting platforms (DraftKings, Fanduel) to invest in pool.

    Radial vs Uni-Loc: Is there really a big difference?

    FWIW, my radial joint cues frequently come loose if I'm not careful. Never had that problem with uniloc. I think both joints are perfectly great and there's just naturally some luck of the draw for all joint types.

    Block letter Joss 4 pointer, 18 pin joint. One of their earliest cues!

    Bump - now considering reasonable offers
