I watched 45 minutes of this video two days ago, came back to finish it today and it had been removed :(

David Howard vs. Mike Sigel Sands Regent Open finals Howard had a hell of a break, you can see a lot of it in this video.

I know people who play with them. They seem to like them. I think the cues are very good-looking. Barioni cues sponsors a BCA league team in Modesto, CA.

They're all good shots but that kick at 2:48 blew my mind. One shot I didn't see in the video is this one, an interesting position shot. I practice it sometimes but haven't mastered it yet.

I'm about a hundred pages into it and I don't regret my purchase at all. Well worth the money. It's very comprehensive.

Filler reminds me of Earl the Pearl. He shoots fast and straight. He shakes his head and acts like he's way out of line when he misses shape by a tad but still has an easy shot. He acts a bit unsportsmanlike after he wins (shouting, "spiking the ball" so to speak). He's a phenom for sure.

For anyone who might not know, the live stream is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpsBwMwiGY4 The next sem-final will stream at 3:30 PM PDT and the final at 8:00 PM.

5:30 PM PDT. You can see the start times in the bracket: https://ctsondemand.com/mobilebracketviewer.aspx?BracketID=7fb7bf44-8c2a-4573-ac0c-e81f9d161b99

My pick to win from here is Billy Thorpe. He's playing strong.

I've been noticing the (pro) players' cues here in Vegas at the world 10-ball tournament. A handful use the black cues, but most are still wood, even among the young players.

My way of finding the zone is to put some music on the jukebox and hit balls by myself for a while. The music opens up my right brain; it helps me stop thinking and start visualizing. People have used rhythm for thousands of years to put themselves into a trance. "The Zone" is a state of light...

Yeah they put Shane as the winner, but Billy won

Anyone know how to buy tickets to this event? (Sorry if off-topic.) I will be in Vegas and want to watch, but can't find out how much tickets cost or if they're even needed. Edit: I think SVB will win.

Justin Whitehead's stroke is very similar.

I would never in a million years think to hit a ball like Earl Strickland does here: https://youtu.be/_DFlLJ3fHzk?t=32 So that's new to me.
