I don't really know who the picture is depicting, but I was the one who brought the thread back- it was actually one of the first results I got when I did a google search of Jean after listening to the Ewa interview.

In the most recent edition of the podcast Legends of the Cue, Ewa brought up this story again regarding why Jean quit. Would be great if they got her on the show, but they basically stated that she is kind of a recluse- supposedly doesn’t even have a smartphone or email account

Interesting article from a recent edition of The Economist: Why child prodigies rarely become elite performers Hot-housing promising youngsters works—but not as well as you might think Jan 14th 2026 NOVAK DJOKOVIC first picked up a tennis racket when he was four years old. At the age of 12...

I never noticed it before- perhaps it has worsened with age?

I noticed that Bustamante has a noticeable tremor in his back arm. Hadn’t noticed that before- that’s concerning. Varner has even worse tremors than Buatamante when I watched one his matches in the ultimate 8 ball. Hope they aren’t developing Parkinson’s.

That’s great. Are you nervous about it getting stolen? Do you take it with you when you go to the bathroom?

Earl has never been fond of Ralf, don’t think Bustamante much likes Earl either- should be interesting to see how they all get along

Accu-Stats just posted this match- well worth watching if you are a fan of Earl's style of play- he started slow, but when he got in gear it was vintage Earl- getting out from everywhere, hitting difficult shots at will:

seems like Yapp has barely lost a match all year- amazing play by him this year- rivals the outstanding years by Varner, Mika and FSR

I aware that the UK has great British Black/8 ball players, but SVB is a great bar table 8 ball player, as are Sky, Bergman, and Corey Deuel. It is a moot point anyway as I highly doubt they would ever switch the MC to bar table 8 ball

they should brainstorm about how they won in 2018 and 2019. It was basically the same level of talent (if not better now with Gorst on the team). They are underdogs for sure, but they shouldn't lose this badly every year and should actually win here and there with the right coaching and personnel

I was referring to his bar table 8 ball game- he is still great in that game. I am joking though because of course they are not going to switch it to bar table 8 ball

if it were bar table 8 ball, perhaps we would have a better chance, especially if Corey Deuel were added to the mix

Obviously Thorpe and Styer are great players, but the pressure is enormous and it is even worse after losing every year- they start out so tight. They should probably try a whole new cast of players that doesn’t have such a negative history hanging over their heads

Perhaps it plays a part, but most pros don’t come up through the league circuit
