show us your playing speed when there is 1.2m dollars riding on the line 😹

aside from his legacy as a player, how much potential winnings and sponsorship did Johnny throw away by keeping that $5k? It's a much more expensive mistake than we realize.

I have a Spitz cue from 2009/10 that I am looking to get restored by Jon. Can anyone share Jon's contact information? The email i had is no longer in use. I am hoping he is still taking orders and building cues.

would also like to know. I have heard good things but I am a little hesitant.

It was very competitive the first two days. USA had a golden opportunity to even the score by end of day 2 but couldn’t capitalize on Alcaide’s mistake. I think that’s the turning point of the whole event. Sky seems to make mental errors in these crucial moments. This year it was the position...

imo pool doesn't need yet another skill rating system, it needs....money.. yes, lots of money, and it will save pool. Money none of us can come up with.

I don't blame him, being a pro player doesn't make much unless your the top 0.1%, although I am glad that the scene has been steadily getting better each year, there is light at the end of the tunnel.

did he stop playing? He beat earl strickland 10 years ago as a kid and I thought he was the future of USA pool at one point. But haven't seen or heard about him much since.

Good to know, not a one pocket guy myself, but I used to love to watch corey deuel when he was in his prime, just so much raw talent. I don't know the guy but I don't get the sense that he practices as hard as other pros and his level of play has not been top tier. I'd bet hes a damn good...

Thanks for the responses, checked both, height is correct and bolts are very secure

Had a new 9' Rasson Challenger installed in April of this year with factory rails and new simonis 860, new predator arco. I play about 1-2 hrs each day on average and the rails kind of kills the spin of the cue ball. At first I thought it's just the combination of new table cloth/rail/balls...

Yeah I think it really depends on how you define "beating" the ghost. To be able to consistently beat the ghost in a race I'd think you need to be 700+ fargo on a 9-foot. I think a 650 player can beat the ghost occasionally and generally stay within 2-3 racks during a theoretical race.

You said it yourself, when there is no shot clock, not a problem. You cannot expect the clock to be stopped when the cue ball is being cleaned because that's an unfair time advantage.

Unfortunately yes.

JJ commits a time foul, very unfortunate.
