Hi, I'm the CEO of Ultimate Pool USA, I can assure you, we don't pay anyone to play. What we do offer all players is an environment built for players by players. SVB for example watched our events and asked if he could come play. The events are designed to support our league product, however...

A few weeks ago I recorded a career retrospective podcast with Alain Robidoux in which he talks in depth about his career for the first time. Everything is covered including what happened to his cue etc. We also have a podcast on there with Billy Snaddon which is a great trip down snooker...

Unbelievable thread this one! Thanks for sharing!

Just released an episode with Karl Boyes, has some really interesting things to say about Team USA and why it went wrong at the Mosconi. Also clears up the Joey Grey stuff.

For those who are interested, we just dropped an episode with Alex Chircop who is the owner a World Pool Ltd, a tour that has a proposed £250,000 prize fun and will hold their World Championships at the Ally Pally. Then out on Tuesday is a rare interview with Lee Kendall.

I used a 10mm Powerglide Maple Connoisseur 1 piece for a few months for pool and it was a nightmare, made me look like Judd Trump with the spin I was getting. With the Woolridge, I've just had it for so long I know how to control the white better with it, screw and side shots are ok with it...

Cheers Greg! Dan (my co host) uses a Mac Chambers cue and it is absolutely lovely. I had a cue made by a new cue maker called Scott Devlin, not suitable for pool, but is such a nice snooker cue.

I have a Mike Wooldridge cue made in 2005, 57.5 inches long with a 9.5mm tip. I used a Wally West cue before that.

Our Allison Fisher episode is out now! Hope everyone enjoys it!

We've just released an episode with Florian Kohler, and have coming up next The Duchess of Doom Allison Fisher with just an unbelievably honest look back at her career. Hope you like it, available via Spotify, Apple Podcasts etc. :)

I for one really hope for a US pool resurgence. I for one would never have played 9 Ball in my life it wasn't for the Mosconi Cup. In fact, neither would a lot of the UK players who have competed in the event, before the Mosconi you never saw a full sized American table in the UK. It has...

We had Emily on our Mosconi Preview show, let me say this hand on heart, she wants that American team to be as competitive as it can be. Believe me, she genuinely has a love for pool and enhanced prize money for Matchroom Events may make more American players take the game more seriously, or if...

For those who are close to the amateur scene, where is the next breed of US players coming from? Barring a complete miracle, I can't see the US winning the Mosconi for at least 3 or 4 years. What must be a worry was the lack of discipline in that US Team. Players on their mobile phones during...

Loads of clubs have the US tables. Where abouts are you?
