With this approach, in a straight pool match, they should stop a run at 50 and switch players… The statistics show that winner break and alternate breaks even out. Sometimes we witness something like that, it doesn’t happen very often, just let it be. I prefer winner breaks (and looser rack)

Again missed the 9 with the clock

The shot clock is getting JB Show you that pro 8ball on 9ft is not that easy… he has no issue with the clock when playing UP on 7 ft

As the cloth gets older and/or humidity gets higher, the table will bank even shorter and using these aiming system might result in a miss. Not to mention pocket size, on 4.25 or 4 inches that small difference that in this video made the ball will rattle and sit in the jaws.

10 years is a lot of time and at his age, he'll never be as good as he was. and even if he have like 2-3 good years in him, he need those to get to top form in the WNT arena. The past can not be the future, Justin is not the answer for American pool on the international arena

If Lukas gets in based on ranking then good for him, non of them are existing to watch. Tyler Played really well at the UK open but nothing interesting since. Maybe send his wife instead

Mosconi should not be for up and coming, it should be the best vs the best. “The best” is based on ranking but MR always saved a wildcard spot for crowd pleasers and players that makes it interesting like they used to do with Strickland. I don’t think that Lukas is that exiting to watch that he...

The Left one looks like an LTD version based on the design of the STL15 with different woods and different rings. Don't know the right one, looks wrapless and I don't recall seeing many wrapless Schons, the butt windows also look very cool.

They are mic’d at the mosconi. If it’s not a double match or any team match than it’s pointless

While I agree about Fedor, it’s from a bit different reasons. America is an immigrant nation, it was built by immigrants and many great Americans were not born in the USA. The thing with Fedor is that most of his pool was developed in Russia, he represented Europe at the Mosconi before so...

maybe and yet the conditions are equal to all and still the Americans haven't been doing so good in that event for years, nor in other non exhibition pro events

it doesn't matter who you put in the Mosconi US team, the total level will still be lower than what Europe can put up. not this year, not ever again, until the attitude towards pool will change in the USA as it did in other countries. This might never happen because it seems that most pool fans...

Haven't read the whole thread but the short answer is NO

their ranking is based upon participant ans success at WPA sanctioned events. You could be a better player than their #1 but if you don't play, you're not ranked, same for any ranking systems.

Congrats to Lukas. He is a good player but still far behind the top. and definitely not at a level that will save the USA at the Mosconi. I don't think that Gorst was already American in 2024....so the truth might be even sadder
