When Predator had their 8-Ball Championship in Austria, me and my friends were playing in our club one evening and Shane and Tyler came in to get some extra practice time during the event. Shane started working on his break and it was like someone was throwing bombs on the table next to us. I...

I work with kids and teenagers in my club for some years now and if you want a recipe for getting good players: Don't start with pool at a very young age. I think from 5-10 it is important to develop a healthy child. Healthy food, lots of outside activities and other sports where they get a...

While MR again put together a great tournament, the treatment of Filler, and other WPA players, throws a shadow especially on how MR handles their PR and social media during the European Open. Only thing left is that they turn of the lights on the TV table during Fillers matches.

Following the European Open, I think it will be interesting to see how the K.O stages will unfold. MR so far pretty much ignored the players, who were on the WPA side, on social media and the TV coverage. With the Premier League coming up next week and two spots still open, I wonder what MR will...

Styer lost to a player from Kuwait, don't know if he is considered a top 100 player. But there are a lot of local players, who just entered for fun, so the early stages will be a lot easier compared to other MR tournaments we had in the past.

Bob vs. Kazakis reminds of a Eurotour where a buddy of mine had a 2:0 lead, with a Break and Run in the first rack and a full table jump in the second rack. He didn't even chalk his jump cue because he took it from our display case in the club and it had the price sticker still on. Will still...

I heared, that the European Open in Bosnia is "ratified" by the WPA, which is a new term they use beside "sanctioned". So all Players can enter the European Open MR event. On the other hand the WPA ban of the players, who played in the Hanoi open is still maintained. On a side note Austria has...

EPBF didn't renew their contract with Dynamic, the main sponsor for the Eurotour for many years. Instead it is the Predator Eurotour. Maybe this is the reason why Albin is playing his first Eurotour event for a long time, same for Jasmin in the womens tournament. Other top pros are the Fillers...

I think you have to sroll down as far as someone has a ranking, should be no. 32. So everyone from Alex to Styer is still in.

I know that the derby is a nightmare for everyone who looks for scores, updates etc. but digitalpool is and always has been a joke. Pages not loading, a lot of mistakes everytime and useless for mobile phones.

I wonder if Ruslan will go back to Russia. All the political views aside, the last years must have been tough for all Russian top players. They were on the rise while Ruysink was working with them and Ukrainian war made it impossible to enter tournaments. I think Ruslan still is capable to go...

This an outstanding accomplishment and Shaw has reached spheres, where even other pros will see a mountain they are not willing to climb. That said i still admire people, who can put a 50 or 60 together, without leaving an oppenent a chance should they miss. I have a guy in my club, who is a...

Yup, like the worldwide known european soccer players Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and...the other guy ;)

I wonder if someone can provide some reliable numbers on total players in Europe vs. USA. I think it would be interesting to see how many amateurs you need to "produce" one pro player. The comparison of total population size is misleading since it doesn't take the popularity of the sport into...

Every year there is the same argument about the population size of Europe and the USA and some people think that this is the reason why the USA has lost another MC. Sooo... 1. I take a guess here, but I think the population of Spain, Scotland, Denmark and Albania combined is around 65 Million...

I know, that this will never happen, but I wonder how Shane would perform if he plays on the Euro team. I get, that the MC is all about entertainment and the show, but I think the Europeans are still more professional about it and Shane is the most professional of all the Americans, that is why...

I have to say Alcaide may be one of the most underrated players in the pool world. I myself always think of him as kind of a weak link on Europe's MC teams. But he has one of the best stats every year, makes good decisions, has great knowlege of the game and has a very solid all around game.

It is becoming apparent, that like the years before the MC will be decided through the break and safetyplay and again Europe has the big advantage in that part of the game. Krause vs. Styer was a bit of a shooting contest in which Tyler prevailed with some nice banks. Woodward was kind of lucky...

I disagree with you on this one. I think the mighty x is a great drill for beginners, who are working on their stroke, or in my case, I like to end a practice session with the mighty x if I do position drills for small areas. I tend to start slow rolling shots or lose my follow through a bit...

Print Version in German was the same. Although I have to admit, that this newspaper is not known for journalism of the highest standards.
