    This issue should be taken up with Barry. He changed his dates this year and overlapped Matt events. He is giving that players that are playing the Challenge of Champions that Wednesday off but decided not to give me the same opportunity. I do understand though, Thursday is a much busier day...

    Crazy conditions

    WOW!!! Everything over here in Shanghai is like the complete opposite of the U.S. The tables are so slick it's like playing on ice. Unfortunately I lost my first match but learned a ton. I'm glad I made the trip and hopefully I can pull though my brackets. MD

    They say Dechaine Dumped, come defend yourself.

    I did NOT dump. I never would do something like that. Like this guy said, my ego is way to big for that. There were three things that I didn't like that went on in the match. Earl played on that table 8 times over the past two days and I played on it twice. The balls played like mud. And...

    You need a hug. But I will gladly pay you the money I owe you. I believe it's $100? In fact, last time I saw you I was going to pay but you acted the same way you did in this post and it's really not worth my time for people like you to try to bring me down. Have a good one man and good luck...

    Questions for Mike Dechaine

    One of the reasons I got picked to represent the u.s. team was because I finished really high in one tournament I played in. They also thought that my stroke And ball pocketing ability would be beneficial for the team. I am looking forward to this and hope to play well out there. Thanks

    Questions for Mike Dechaine

    long shots where I have to barely touch the object ball for a safe. I watch Shane hits these balls so well and I have a hard time with them. I also need to improve on my safety and kicking game.

    Questions for Mike Dechaine

    I guess I had natural ability but it took time to develop. There was another kid out of my pool hall that played better than me and I feel like that competition really helped me push myself.

    Questions for Mike Dechaine

    Before I go into detail with this, I would like to punch some numbers with friends just based off low averages. I know that implies absolutely nothing, but I don't want to sound like an idiot if its impossible. ;) Its a dream that can come true.

    Questions for Mike Dechaine

    1. I guess I looked up to Efren. I watch a lot of the Philippine players because I heard they were the best, and still are. 2. I love to golf, but it does not take over my game. I also enjoy good food. I guess this is one of the perks of being on the road all the time, I get to try...

    Questions for Mike Dechaine

    I would like to see myself changing the game as a tournament player. I believe it is going to take a couple more wins to sell some of the higher powers to be, but there is a market in professional pool. Hopefully we as the players can unite and give a little before we start to take.

    Questions for Mike Dechaine

    I'd say to move your back hand forward on the butt. This will help with consistency. I also like to hit the cue ball down into the table, this makes it pop a little more so you get an understanding where you are actually hitting the front ball.

    Questions for Mike Dechaine

    I truthfully don't pay much attention to this. I mean I can name some of the players that come here from the Philippines that play unreal, but I like to worry about my game.

    Questions for Mike Dechaine

    Tiffany Nelson from Maine had a huge break. I guess I just payed attention and watched the timing and developed my own. Timing is huge and I am also breaking harder with the BK3 prototype.
