    Items taken to the pool hall getting weird.

    I went to a pool hall 6 months ago and the set of balls that were provided to me had at least 3 different ball sets mixed up in it, and some of the balls had parts of the numbers missing the filling out of them. Some of the balls were also discolored. I’m bringing my own balls if I go there...

    U.S. Open Events Won by Shane Van Boening

    Shane is the current World 8 Ball champion which was won in Austria if that counts for anything. Due to lack of World 8 ball, 10 ball, and 14.1 titles over the last decade, SVB’s trophy case is potentially a lot lighter because of it. Shane is a special player and there is a reason why most...

    End of the US Open?

    One thing that is interesting that Emily mentioned in the interview with Karl Boyes was that only Matchroom signed players will be playing in the Mosconi Cup. Just how many US players are signed up as I think now it will pretty much be the same roster every year for the US unless there are...

    Million dollar prize fund for 2024 world pool championship

    I think that people should support the event. If we care about the players then this needs to be successful in order for other promoters or even the Saudi government to help sponsor the remaining Matchroom events. Too many talented players have left the game at the professional level in...

    Premium Chalks – Are They Worth It?

    I’m going to speculate that if the balls used in the World 8 ball were Aramith Tournament and not Predator Arcos II, that some of those skids would not occur. Since the Arcos II use a Super Aramith pro formula, those balls seem to get more dirty than the Aramith Tournament resin balls.

    WPA bans......................

    if I were Matchroom I would remove the 9 ball and put a gold ball in its place and call the game Gold Ball which is not a game that is governed by the WPA. That should meet the requirement that players aren’t going to non sanctioned 9 ball events.

    Pool returns to ESPN….

    Michaela Tabb was previously a referee for Bonus Ball 9 years ago, but it can be difficult to remember the rules from such a long time period in between.

    BAD CALLS in Pro Matches - Unintentional Miscue SCOOP SHOTS

    I have yet to see Matchroom produce their own rulebook and they are in charge of the World Pool Championship so therefore they are using WPA rules.

    BAD CALLS in Pro Matches - Unintentional Miscue SCOOP SHOTS

    I mentioned in a previous thread when the Sanjin foul occurred that why would these 2 examples below in the 2005 World Championshi final not be considered fouls as the cue ball elevated off the table at about the same height as the 2 examples by Dr. Dave. The only thing different is that they...

    Efren Reyes Cup

    While watching a recent Pool Player Podcast episode, Emily Frazer mentioned that there was an article in the The Times this week that discussed Matchroom and their plans for Nineball. I found the article and it mentioned about the possibility of having an Efren Reyes Cup which would be...

    Is this a foul?

    Players miss balls on thin hits where the cue ball comes back off of the rail and makes legal contact. I do not see how that original miss of the ball by it jumping over is any different than the cue ball going over the object ball and coming back and making a legal hit. They are both valid...

    Is this a foul?

    This shot by Sanjin can’t be a foul based on past precedence of similarly struck cue balls that have taken similar flight paths as we have seen in the 2005 World Pool Championship Final put on by none other than Matchroom Sport. Here are 2 examples of shots that Wu played having miscues that...
