Blackball is not pool, so that should not factor into his HOF resume IMO. Neither should a straight pool record that no top pro was trying to break other than him. It's impressive that he ran the 700 balls or whatever it was, but let's be honest here: if tomorrow some big sponsor announced a...

Considering it's a bootleg stream, they probably just didn't include sound in the video.

Agreed. It was a hail mary shot. Absolutely no reason to go after it.

WS players are already rewarded with the draw. No need to give them more rewards.

SVB has made only one mistake this whole match, which was missing a kick from a lock-up safety Boanan played, giving Boanan BIH, which he failed to capitalize on. Shane is playing some of the best pool I've ever seen right now.

Ah that makes sense - thank you. I do think that is confusing for viewers, and the commentators didn't seem to know that rule, because they were confused as well.

Very questionable refereeing in the SVB/Pham match. Pham clearly violated the shot clock, not striking the ball until after the clock ran out, and no foul was called. Luckily for Shane, it was an easy layout and he ran out anyway, but still...

I don't think changing the color takes away from the value of the product. I think the gray cloth looks better than the green or blue.

The first DCC was in 1999, when Efren was 44 years old.

I never said Gorst wasn't a great player. I said that MOT titles don't determine that. You can't just look at Reyes' 5 MOT titles and say that that's the benchmark for equaling his greatness as a player. It would be like saying Buddy Hall wasn't one of the all time greats because he doesn't have...

I don't think it's arguable that Efren's prime was after he turned 44 years old. Yes, Efren won lots of events in 2003-10, but many of those events didn't exist or didn't have strong international fields before that time period. So all this shows is that the opportunities for titles increased as...

IMO it would take more than 5 MOT titles for Fedor to approach Efren in the conversation for best all around player, considering the DCC didn't start until Efren was already 44 years old. He got his 5 MOTs all in ~10 years, which were at the tail end of his career (after his prime). Compare that...

If Tyler doesn't miss those three 9-balls, the US would be up 6-5 right now.

lol no

The softer you hit, the more table roll is a factor, not less...
