    Van Boening vs. Gorst 10-Ball Race to 120, Rematch June 2025 -- General Comments Thread

    Fedor posted on his FB that it was likely the last time they played. I don't know how quickly SVB wants to grab that tiger by the tail again. 40+ racks...I would imagine that is pretty embarassing for a legend like Shane... But then again, maybe it just pisses him off and motivates him...

    Van Boening vs. Gorst 10-Ball Race to 120, Rematch June 2025 -- General Comments Thread

    I saw a Facebook interview recently where SvB was asked about matching up with filler in 1 pkt...he basically said he would require filler first play him a set of 10 ball. He went on to make the point that the young guys are hungry, and he hasn't been hungry in a while. He also said he would...

    (sort of) Pool Movie

    Watched this this weekend, along with another movie I had never heard of, "Break" I think it was called. I thought Dirty Down South was watchable. I like Kim Coates, but he was not very good in this one. The Break movie was terrible...about the same level as "nine ball" movie...

    Are Gold Crowns Still Being "Diamondized?"

    Well here is some free advice from a self confessed "banger". Some background: Not a runout player. No fargo. Captained an APA team for 7 years with a pretty good win percentage. HAve a 7 ft. diamond at home. Took a couple lessons from the late great Scott Lee, have played shortstop level...

    Tiger? Caitlyn? That is some high praise! Here's to hoping she lives up to her potential! I remember years ago older guys at the pool hall talking about "some little kid in South Dakota who is playing and robbing everyone"...THAT is some Tiger type stuff right there! (y)

    Just saw a FB post from Sofia where she left Predator and picked up a Pechauer sponsorship. Good for her. She must be doing something right to have multiple companies looking to sponsor her.

    Pro Pool Payroll in Perspective

    I recently saw where newly enlisted privates in the U.S. Army (E-1) make approximately $24,206.40 per year in basic pay. Firemen, teachers, cops, emt's about the same. These professionals certainly don't do it for the money. I reckon the same can be said for pool pro's.

    I thought she recently had to withdraw from a tournament for an injury...could be imagining that, though...

    Um, Heck no! I would rather play bar box 8 ball on a valley with half the cloth missing, while shooting with a broomstick, while listening to elevator music, than have to play a long set of nine ball.

    So when is the billiards_watch vs. JA Barbox match?:eek: Haven't seen a full match of Easton's, so how does she stack up against: A healthy Allison Fisher? Kelly Fisher? Pia Filler? Mrs. Fedor?

    Fedor vs Shane argue with me

    Not much one can do to argue with the points made here. My opinion only, but I think the lion's share of the credit goes to matchroom, predator, and social media. Matchroom and predator have made significant $$ investments in the game and hopefully this is just the beginning of their return and...

    Does it seem like everyone is a Flipper / Reseller these days?

    This is a good point. THere is a guy who sits outside our local Goodwill on Tuesdays (that is when they put out the new stuff. He drives a panel truck, and will fill it up with pretty much anything, and turn around and sell the stuff on FB marketplace. Lately, the used, donated stuff at...

    I love 9-ball but...

    As a University of Alabama alum, one of our greatest, said this in '65...not underwater, but... When Joe Namath signed with the Jets he did his first press conference in New York. A smart mouthed writer asked him, "Did you major in basket weaving at Alabama"? Without batting an eye, Namath...

    Wood vs carbon fiber shafts for top pros - I went through the Fargo top 100 to see who uses what

    Saw this movie the other night. Dude looks like he is playing a cf shaft. The movie came out in 1996. When I see some CF shafts for 200 bucks, and then the big boys with their cf shafts at $500, it makes you think. Betcha I could miss just as many balls with the 1996 model as one of the fancy...

    European Open 2025, Sarajevo, March 11-16

    Don't know. Just saw the YT interview and thought it was interesting. I don't know that he was even thinking MR, as he was mostly talking about template and rack your own, and specifically mentioned money matches. But even many MR matches, it seems like the wing ball is going in the side...
