    WOW BIADO vs. PULPUL Biado forgot to call the 10 ball on the hill and lost

    At the very least they should've re-racked and play the rack over again with the original breaker breaking, since the ref so blatantly failed at his job.

    World wheelchair 9 ball championships underway

    It's very unfortunate that no Americans were able to participate. There are rumors that it's because of a lack of sponsors. Also there is a Japanese player who couldn't take part in the competition, or so I've been told. Finland is a quite expensive country and even the trip probably costs a...

    Mosconi Cup - Great Entertainment or Serious Pool

    There it is, the ten greatest players in the world... ...wrong... great players, but the selections are somewhat baffeling at times. The current selection format never even brings the top five American and the top five European players together at the same time...

    Orcullo

    I think that even if a guy wins every one pocket tournament in the world, he still might not be the best one pocket player in the world. These super-aggressive shooters are not great one pocket players, rather just great shooters. If you shoot a shot you're never supposed to shoot and make it...

    Play the Ghost Poll

    I didn't even have to go to the table to know the answer... Haven't played in six months and I feel like I'd do good if I even hit the rack on the break...;)

    breaking your cue down

    How about when you're on the hill and pack up your break cue, since you're not going to use it anymore? I've done that a few times subconsciously without any intention to forfeit... Would you guys forgive me? ;)

    How would philippino players fare against earl on 10' table?

    Wrong. You are right that Shane is likely to become a great in this game. But never will he be appreciated over Efren, not in my books at least... And wrong, there are many players in the world who could've beat Earl on that table, Shane being one of them. On this occasion he was just not...

    The Falconer and the Boen Man

    Came to mind, how would you rate other Filipinos against Earl on that table? Bustamante, Van Corteza, Alcano? They played a lot of rotation on wool cloths, where you have to really strike the ball to get action on the cue ball... And their breaks are amazing...

    The Falconer and the Boen Man

    Appleton will be a contender or any of the Brits for that matter, they have practically all started on a snooker table. I'd love to see Alex take Earl on, that should be great. I don't think Earl would rip Corey apart, he's probably the most creative player in the world after Efren, but I...

    Gentlemen Moves

    The finger snapping has been a tradition for quite some time here in Finland and across Europe as well (as far as I know...). It's a nice way to acknowledge a good shot without too much of an interference...

    Why Pool is not a major sport.

    :clapping::thumbup: Thumbs up for cleary! Agree 100%... I don't see the point in trying to hush about the gambling... It has always been there and it always will be and we'll have to live with that. Respect for all contributions in this thread, you guys have a lot of good points.

    My FAVORITE pool commentator.

    Of those listed, Danny D. A special mention to Jerry Forsyth, Steve Davis and Bob Guerrero as ateam during the 2006 WPC. But the person I enjoyed listening to most was Jimmy Mataya (with Danny D) at the DCC Ring game back in 2004 or something... Priceless...

    Any Pro Players Play With High Dollar Cues?

    Perhaps, but Ralf's cue costs about $20,000... So I would call that a high dollar cue...
