    Interesting shot from Efren

    Video should begin at the appropriate time. If not 1:05:40 I'd call it a 3 way shot. If he makes the 10 he wins. If he makes the 4 and misses the 10 he can see the 5. If he misses both leaves his opponent safe on the 4 or with no shot.

    Sky Woodward Forced to Pull Out of World Pool Championship

    I attended 16 schools in 12 states as a kid from Alaska to Texas. What causes chaos in Texas is a normal day in Northern climates. My brother and I walked to school one day in Breckenridge, Texas and we noticed a little snow or frost on the grass - no big deal. We got to school and nobody was...

    Interesting discussion during the Pagulayan vs De Luna match at the American 14.1 championships

    Interesting. After seeing the Appleton situation I'd like to know exactly what the referee said to De Luna.

    Interesting discussion during the Pagulayan vs De Luna match at the American 14.1 championships

    Corey clearly didn't foul and in that case doesn't the referee have discretion? If touching a ball gets a re-rack then everybody would do it any time they miss a shot and leave an open table. Poor ruling on several levels. Do you know that referee?

    Interesting discussion during the Pagulayan vs De Luna match at the American 14.1 championships

    Did you see this? It doesn't appear to me Corey touched a ball. 58:15 <iframe width="1280" height="720" src="" title="LIVE NOW! 2022 American 14.1 Straight Pool Championships Day 3" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope...

    Interesting discussion during the Pagulayan vs De Luna match at the American 14.1 championships

    I tried to start each video at the correct time but if not then I also posted the time when each situation occurred. at 3:36:55 Alex takes an intentional foul. De Luna appears to ask the referee to explain the rule. At 4:05:58 Alex takes another intentional foul and De Luna again asks the...

    Thumb Straight Down

    I was so inspired by this post that I went out and had surgery.

    When Matchroom purchased the U S Open from the Behrman family

    Not even Trudeau came up with a scam where he changed the color of the balls so he could try to make a few bucks selling the goofy balls. That's a new low.

    When Matchroom purchased the U S Open from the Behrman family

    Were there no Americans willing to take it on? The Brits would never consider changing the color of the balls in the English snooker championships because they have respect for the game. They have no respect for the American game which is why they screw with it for the sole purpose of...

    Orange 5 Purple 4 Matchroom

    I've caught myself many times looking at the purple to see what shape the player will play for when he is on the red.

    US Open hard to watch

    I know which match the op is talking about regarding slow play but look at the bright side. You can get up from the computer to go take a leak and when you get back you don't miss anything. Still agonizing over the same shot. It's free. I'm not complaining. Okay maybe a little.

    US Open 9B October, 2022 -- Atlantic City

    I'm not complaining but I'd think they would choose players who aren't slower than molasses to put on the live stream. Anybody tuning in to watch 9 ball for the first time didn't watch for long.

    Wrong Ball

    I remember a discussion about this when they made the decision. It still makes no sense and I've heard no valid explanation.

    More dogged shots than in a dog kennel. Table must be tough.

    Darren Appleton 145 Ball Straight Pool Self Commentary Video

    His videos on alignment and aiming are also excellent. Obviously a student of the game.

    Dennis Orcollo vs SVB (Race to 75) 9 ball (22-24 Sep)

    I played football in Texas in grade school - 5th and 6th grade. The grade schools had their own football teams. I'm originally from Iowa. I got a helmet with no facemask. Being a "Yankee" back then had a negative consequences. If the coach told you to go out for football you either went out...
