    2025 AZ Billiards Straight Pool Challenge!

    Yup, haven’t tried it again. But next time I will do one cam on head and one filming the table, so I perhaps can mix between them.

    2025 AZ Billiards Straight Pool Challenge!

    Except from July, when I didn’t play at all, I have had atleast 1 run of 40-something every month. Started with a 42 in January, 45 in February, 41 in March, 47 in April, 43 in May, 41 in June, and 46 today in August. None higher than 50, lots in the 30s. Hopefully I will see higher numbers for...

    US Open (9 ball) 2024, August 19-24, Atlantic City

    There was supposed to be a qualifier in Finland this weekend, but it seems like only 2 players signed up With this pace it doesn’t look like Matchroom will get 128 qualified players for either the European Open or the US Open, to join the 128 wnt pros. What will they do then? Open up for...

    Break Stats -- 2024 World Pool Masters 9-Ball, April 2024

    Thanks for doing these stats after every big tournament! I like them, and appreciate your work! 39 % break & run on successful breaks, with this format where you have no control on cueball and next ball after break, is extremely high on 4 inch pockets

    So Skyler got drug tested immediately after losing to Oi???

    I don’t understand all the negativity this drug test fuels among people here. We want pool to be considered a sport, don’t we? Then we have to treat it as a sport. We don’t do drugs and compete in sports. In Europe this is common. Last year I was one of 4 players who got picked to do a drug...

    Cell phone junkies

    I can understand that people might have to answer a text during a match, but if they are constantly on their phone I ask them to put it away. If they don't I just don't play them again.

    WPA will no longer ban players who join Matchroom

    It seems there is no deal between Matchroom and WPA, but still the headline in this thread (which is a summary of the press release) is very valuable information for players like me, who are part of the EPBF-umbrella. This means I can now join qualifiers for UK Open, European Open and US Open...
