I was lucky enough to be at the Roosevelt in NYC in '92 for the US Open 14.1. First time i saw Sigel in person. He was in dead punch all week. I watched all his matches. It was just hypnotic.

Does anyone know what is going on with Wiktor and the Polish Billiards Federation? He just posted recently on Instagram that it tried to destroy him mentally right before the World 9 ball championship. He further states he has quit the Federation and will never work again with the coach. It is...

Good points. But I feel the same about 9Ball -it's getting boring to watch because with the cut break the layouts seem similar and the run outs not really challenging. I watched an old school match the other day from the 90's and the layouts were different on almost every break. Also, 9Ball was...

14.1 I did not get to see the old timers, and only saw the Miz when he was past his prime, but Sigel in '92 at the Roosevelt was amazing, and made it look easy. Thorsten in his prime made 14.1 look easy too

9 Ball would have to be Buddy period. His patterns and speed control made the game look so easy, like anyone could just run racks staying in line shot after shot. I remember on one Accu Stat tape, Billy I commenting as Buddy ran out again that this is how you want to play 9 Ball, but it isn't...

Now if Johann Ruijsink would only move to Kentucky..............

Completely agree. The US Open in golf starts prepping the course a year in advance to make the conditions extremely tough. If you want to play on buckets then go play in local tournaments, but if you want to test yourself against the best players on the toughest equipment, then sign up for a...

Maybe the Whiny Earl! ;)

Well in 14.1 it's not how man balls can you run, it's who you run them against. Crane 150 and out vs Balsis in the FINALS Sigel 150 and out vs Zuglan with only 4 left on winners side. As SJM knows, Zuglan proceeded to move to the one loss side and eliminate Ray Martin with a run of 148! Now...

And just to show they are listening, DAZN has raised their monthly subscription rate by 25%! :cool:

The big news is Mr Wu is finally back, I hope. He's such a talent and a joy to watch.

I think you're right, but Billy I was excellent at this. He wouldn't bore you to death with position play on every shot, but after the break he would immediately point out the problem balls and how to play shape if the player expected to get out.

Lot of empty seats. I think England has poorest attendance. Matchroom had better crowds in Germany.

They are both getting tighter the longer this goes on. Agony to watch.

I watched the Scottish Open and it was great. Shaw beat Ralph hill/hill and then Zelinski hill/hill in finals. Great matches and tournement.

It's GREAT to see him back. (y)

More MR events in USA would generate more live fan attendance. How about Reno? SRO 2.0

Don't hike. Take the train, much nicer and more fun. :cool:

Tremendous talent. His break was simply awesome.

That was STRONG. Kaci took down SVB, Filler, and FSR. A true champion! 👏
