    1990s 9-ball McCready vs. Paez

    Two of the most entertaining and talented pool players to ever pick up a cue.

    Reno Sands Regency & US Open Tables Question

    I remember Diamond tables being used in some of the last Reno tourneys. I also remember the early Rebco days and the various Brunswick incarnations that were used there over the years. I also used Diamond bar tables in some of the later years of the U.S. Bar Table Championships in Reno, and so...

    Men's 2025 World 8-Ball Championship, Bali, Oct.7-13

    Too bad these two organizations don't communicate better on scheduling. They put the players in a bad position trying to determine where to play. I don't think any player should be penalized for having to make a choice what is best for them.

    Yapp winning, with a foul! Just like Maradona making a goal with his hands :D

    Just what I thought. He was behind Yapp, out of position to call that shot. Being in the right position often makes all the difference on close shots. Only a few referees understand that. I always told the players I'm going to get where I need to be to see the shot clearly (even directly in...

    Matchroom/U.S. Open is leaving Atlantic City

    Good post Stu. Interesting that not one person mentioned Los Angeles. Matchroom depends quite a bit on their live gate and there is no city that would bring in a larger audience than L.A. And that's a fact Jack! We've got over 15 million people within a fifty mile radius and lots of them are...

    Dennis Orcollo wears glasses

    The great Bob Vanover wore glasses and beat everybody. Howard Vickery did pretty well while wearing glasses.

    Yapp winning, with a foul! Just like Maradona making a goal with his hands :D

    I didn't see it live. I'd like to know where the referee was standing to watch this shot. Anyone?

    Yapp winning, with a foul! Just like Maradona making a goal with his hands :D

    I'm reading a big to-do about nothing! It's almost as if many people on here are trying to minimize Yapp's victory over Gorst. If the referee didn't see it, so be it. Gorst had several chances to win and he failed to make a couple of relatively easy shots. I saw that! The match is over and...

    Looks like the shadow of the cue moving across the ball.

    US Open 08/18-23

    The game of 9-Ball won this match! Yapp was a nervous wreck and Gorst forgot how to play pool. What a mess that was!

    US Open 08/18-23

    Yapp opens the rack with an excellent long cut shot on the two with prefect position on the three. He makes another beautiful and precise run out for 8-4. He is The Man in pool right now!

    US Open 08/18-23

    Ko misses a relatively easy two ball and Yapp makes a confident run out for 7-4. The first chink in the Ko armor.
