    Danny Harriman vs. Shane McMinn 12/18/21 Clash at the Colosseum Day 1

    The same difficulty occurs when you compare Danny Harriman's posts from years ago with his recent posts... Example from 2007 ... I have watched John's recording of his run and he makes it look easy, what a great champion he is. I thought maybe I will make a commentary of my little 156 if anyone...

    ignite shaft with black ferrule/vault.

    Black nail polish is very glossy if that's what you're looking for.

    The Legendary Pearl to Take On 14.1 Attempts

    As noted before, you still have SVB running 159 and 154 on Nov 03, and again on Nov 04. That's a duplication error - he didn't run 159 or 154 on Nov 04, only on Nov 03.

    JJ ball cleaning foul

    The investigative report said they had ALL the video not just the parts edited for broadcast. They said it was apparent based on ALL the evidence that Higgins was sandbagged, and was CLEARLY trying to extricate himself from a threat. Hence Higgins penalty for not reporting the approach, but no...

    Thorpe suspended for 2 years???

    No one has yet posted a source for the original story. Mario He's suspension has documented sources, but this report that Thorpe was suspended for two years for smoking weed seems to be just unsubstantiated rumour, and it may be just pure BS. Does anyone have any real evidence that this is...

    Jeremy Jones taking over for Earl on team

    It's a fake Mike Tyson quote. Kind of appropriate that it's on social media and people are treating it as if it were real.

    Is Schmidt's and charlie 626 Legit

    That's good news Danny! I hope you wear your John Schmidt 626 jersey, and drink from your John Schmidt 626 mug, and sleep on your John Schmidt 626 pillow. Good night now.

    Earl Strickland

    ....or at least that's a rumour. Sky hasn't said publicly, but I'm assuming he's told JJ or MR one way or the other.

    27 of his 95 attempts ended with a scratch.

    How is it possible? Maddening….

    Yup, happened to me the same way, and I've made the same comments to other people. I'd do some drills perfectly, go to the bathroom, come back, and have difficulty in making shots twice in a row. I'd have to start over again, working through my fundamentals. After about 45 minutes, suddenly...

    Omicron Variant: Will it affect Mosconi Cup (travel and attendance) December 7-10, 2021?

    Unknowns: a. Is omicron more infectious than delta? b. Does omicron cause more serious health effects? c. Do antibodies and immune cells from covid infections or vaccines still provide a good immune response.? The expert guesses I've seen so far are: a. maybe it's more infectious than delta...

    Ronnie O’Sullivan

    Your own words..... 1. You are new to watching snooker, and your opinion is formed from limited knowledge. 2. You assume greatness is based on triple crown tournaments. That says it all. Watch some snooker and you'll figure it out.

    SVB to Kick Off High Run Attempts

    I redid my scans, and didn't filter out some of the low-value runs. SVB's overall BPI was 63. His best day was Day 3, with a BPI of 81, but the other four days were all 56-62.

    SVB to Kick Off High Run Attempts

    Lou, I noted your official listing of SVB's high runs Oct 31: 241 Nov 01: 253 Nov 02: 169, 164, 163 Nov 03: 184, 159, 154 Nov 04: 308, 210, 196, 159, 154, 112 Nov 05: 295, 154 My scans agree with most of your numbers. Nov 1: 253 is one of the runs not on video, so maybe it should have an...

    Can I run 500 balls in 14.1?

    Ha! Ha! That does make good sense. I'll pay attention to that next time.

    Can I run 500 balls in 14.1?

    I agree. The reason these top quality players are losing position or missing the shot is loss of focus somewhere leading up to it. I think that's primarily what average BPI measures. There's also talent or skill in reading the pattern and developing a plan of attack. Long term 14.1 players...

    Can I run 500 balls in 14.1?

    I agree Bob. I believe that SVB underperformed, and RC overperformed. SVB had a lot of wild breaks and scratches, particularly early on.. His 3rd day was his best, with 14 runs and 89 BPI. Ruslan showed how the pattern could be managed, and it was superb. But his lifetime high run is 274...
