There are so many world class 9 Ballers out there that we will never know who is the best with out some long winner breaks 9 and 10 Ball sets like Tar Matches used to provide. Who would not like to see a 9 and 10 Ball shoot out pitting Shaw against Ko Pin Yi, Chang Lin, Shane, Wu, Kaci and who...

Ok then Well I guess in over all competition Kaci has a slight edge on Shaw in their match ups. But, based on comments on this thread and others the U.S. Open is the one that counts. If so, does that mean all those that said Shane has yet to prove his #1 status because he does not win over...

I have watched some other matches on You Tube and Kaci did good against Shaw. Any one know the won lost record when they matched up?

Great win He will have to win a few more U.S. Open's to be in the same league as the once great Earl and still great Shane. Time will be the judge of that and we will see if he has the mental capacity and self control to achieve that. He certainly has all the pool skills. A great and...

Well........... I would say the ref calls fouls and does not stop a player from committing a foul. Then as usual what Jay H. said on the topic makes sense too. Like most things, a strict following of the rules by every one avoids many issues and is the best way to go, as hoping for a...

King Chang! Go Chang go, win it all. I hope him and Shaw have a challenge match soon. Winner breaks 10 ball with a race to 75.

Golly gee......... The poor game of pool is hanging on by a thread compared to other sports. So I long ago quit comparing it to other professional sports since it is unique. It is like nothing else and never will be, at least in the United States. Also, some players are not as "professional"...

Oh boy......... I hope he likes the U.S. so much he wants to live here and plays on our Mosconi Cup Team.......... He can play some pool and I wonder what he will be like in 10 years if he keeps his focus.

What? What does a ref have to do besides watch the shooters and look for fouls and settle disputes? What was the foul?

Wowser! Ko is one of the best and an all around classy pro that from the sounds of this thread, did not get equal treatment by the referee. I hope Shaw comes out with a strong statement on the referee, as I believe it would be a real character and respect builder for him that would boost his...

I am one of those who believe that ones attitude after a loss effects how they played in the loosing match and in future matches. It appears to me as though the pros that go through matches and are able to offer their opponent a sincere hand shake and congratulations after their loss have a...

Well..... Other then the fame and prestige of the U.S. Open, what does a race to 7 or 9 or 11 or 13 prove when you have the worlds best 9 Ballers all shooting each other over the course of a few days? It proves on that day and that match they played better then their opponent. Who ya gonna...

Bummer He now has an alibi for loosing, the loss of ear plugs sharked him. What were they thinking. I say let him wear them with the agreement some one can duct tape his mouth shut when he starts his ranting poor sportsmanship like behavior. Other then that I would love to see him win the...

Dang Tooler Per Tooler, "Are we talking male dancers or female".......? That's funny. I am old fashioned and if I watch pole dancing it will be a female. Crap, hope I could tell the difference, ya never know now days..........

A couple I would like to meet up with Mark Griffin again. I have not seen him since the 60's when him and my older brother were in their late teens and early 20's and we were in Anchorage and he would beat my butt at pool. I guess I will have to show up at "Griffs" and challenge him to a race...

A couple I am now partial to the Milk Duds from PoolDog8 and the medium Talisman layered tips. Neither are over the top expensive and they last a long time.

While reading Fox News today I came across a story on future activities being considered for the Olympics. Drum roll........pole dancing, foosball, aka “table soccer,” and poker. Cracks me up. I don't think I have ever seen real pole dancing other then in the movies and I am no good at...

Woe is me I wish I had a one piece slate. My nice old Rebco 9' table has been in my in floor heated garage for 3 years and for the 2nd time I have to have the installers back to level the end slate and tighten the loose Simonis 860 HR cloth. Drives me nuts. Finding a Diamond table in Alaska...

Not me I only played in a disorganized league a couple of times and it was a bit of a goat rope. I just accepted it for what it was. I really don't enjoy league play as there is to much down time waiting to play again.

Go figure. At the level some of these guys play at I think it will depend on who is on their game during the tournament and breaking well. Several of them are good breakers and know how to run a table if the break gives them an opportunity. I am pulling for Shane to be the first ever 6 time...
