He is. Funny part is i didn't know who he was until he introduced himself... I knew *who* he was, but didn't have a face to put to the name... The look on my face when he went "Thanks for the warm up, I'm Shane" must've been PRICELESS... The fact that he was top 5 on Earth when i was in college...

I will say: having been absolutely thrashed by Shane. I will back him always. He's such a good dude. College me that played warmup friendlies against him (2011-13ish) was taught a lesson that day in absolute thrashing. As good as I *thought* I was, there was another universe I'd never seen. When...

Would you stop with this logic nonsense? 😂 If I could watch SVB, Fedor, and Filler fight over....everything... I'd be happy. Gimme ALL the match ups. They could be playing snooker for all I care... (pardon me while I wash my hands after typing that)

Finally got to watch the final and I just want more. I could watch Chou/Chang and Fisher/Kazakis brawl all day. The epitome of mixed dubs: extraordinarily talented players that pair up well. Not just a rating total. Partners that play really well together. More. I want more. With bigger prizes...

Feel you here. One of the reasons I don't play tournaments anymore. Even when I tell myself it doesn't matter and I'm just playing to have fun. Always end up shoving my own head where the sun don't shine... Wish I could reclaim some of that arrogance I had in college (key word: some). Thought I...

Yup. I've never had issues with uniloc going together, staying together, or coming apart. When I clean mine (q-tip and iso), I also take a bit of wax to the threads and pin just to help it out a bit. I just use a stick I made from some bike chain wax. Enough to keep the joint nice and smooth.

I love the improvement mentality in Europe and Asia. I've seen several groups that meet up for a week or more at a time to practice together. It's a fight to get to the top and stay there and everyone benefits from it -- especially us fans. Other great examples: Kristina Tkach and Pia Filler...

I don't think anyone is consistently beating Filler right now. The dude is just rolling: everything is going his way and he's been making the game look really easy. Is this level sustainable? I dunno, we'll see. That said: SVB, Gorst, FSR, plus a few others are capable of the same thing when...

First was a Players. Don't remember the model, but it was one of these: Solid cue, but eventually traded it for a J&J Jump/Break. First good cue was a Predator SP 4-point I bought in 2010. The cheapest Predator I could get with a 314 and wrap. I'll never part with it and still play with it...

3-9 combo 4 rails past the 4 into the bottom right. (y)

There's loads of middle eastern and Indian immigrants in MN and I see them ah the fine in the pool hall. Rambunctious, but generally very polite. It's the dude bros and crotchety old guys that have only played in bars I need to watch out for. They're the ones that loiter between the tables or...

Yeah, Denis looked worse than Albin and that's saying a lot. Some of these players forget how to control the cue ball as soon as they have a partner... Yeah, Chou/Chang are really good. Han/Wu is a very strong team as is Fisher/Kazakis.

Loved Sky's reaction. Just chuckling in his chair. He was ready to start tossing balls on the table to keep Billy going too. :LOL:

Alex and Kelly are such a fantastic pairing. They complement each other so well. So much fun to watch and both are obviously having a good time. Jasmin just can't find a partner that'll pull their weight. Albin for some reason plays terrible in doubles and Denis didn't look good either... The...

Based on all the dubs matches I've watched its often the guys leaving their partner hooked or with terrible shape. Can't take the pressure of a woman expecting you to do your job? (cough, Albin...)

The hardest part of using the jump cue is knowing when to NOT use the jump cue. My coach in college would yell at me all the time for leaning on the short stick. Would spend entire sessions giving me shit cueing so I'd learn to use the cushions. Jump cues are just part of the game. They're...

Angry old guys that hate change. :LOL:

+1 after the match when Sky told him to keep going. :ROFLMAO: That was amazing to watch. Man, I suck at this game...

I'm waiting for the MN DNR to order ice houses off the lakes. The deadlines for "permanent" houses are 3/3 and 3/17. After that you can't leave them overnight. Easy to find a thin spot when it's been this warm and sunny. Will start hearing about vehicles falling through soon... I'm terrified of...
