Just saw an interesting clip of a CJ Wiley interview. Basically said he wouldn't play 9 ball for money today because with rack your own and template racks, every top player has the break figured out...said that is the reason you don't see very many big money 9 ball matches anymore...and that...

Maybe it is the concept of a "power" follow that needs to be clarified or elaborated on. When I think of a "power" follow, I am thinking of a firmly struck cue ball that has a visible moment after contact where it stops, maybe hops back a split second, and then takes off forward. I agree that...

couldnt make me any worse...sign me up

Touche'. You make some great counter-points. I especially like the Chiefs and yankees comparisons, as I would venture that there is a sizeable percentage of folks tuning in to watch in the hopes of seeing them lose. I know I was a huge Eagles fan this Super Bowl, just because I wanted the Chiefs...

I don't know if I buy it that great pool sells to casual fans, which I am assuming MR is hoping to attract and are necessary to continue growth. Even with the most watched sport in our country, the NFL, everyone knows that channels change and folks start tuning out during blow outs. It is why...

Am I remembering correctly that they also faced each other as Juniors multiple times as well? If so, that would add an extra layer of spice to the rivalry. Longevity can also add to the lore of rivalry. Even if they don't meet in the finals of the majority of tourneys, if they are still...

That still would not explain the different findings of an MRI, which are commonly used to image soft tissue such, ligaments, cartilage, tendons, etc. A big disk seen on MRI COULD look completely different a week or two later. I have seen impingements where the underlying scoliosis was a...

And more importantly, are the 5 balls orange?

Agreed- Especially if he had treatment and therapy...

In his post he specifically states that he has "better connections" in Russia. That can mean many things. Maybe he has a family member, friend, neighbor, etc. who is a physician. Being cared for by someone with a personal stake in making sure you are taken care of makes a huge difference...

I am very far from any type of reseller, but I did have a student once (preCovid) who started an ebay store the day he turned 16 and got his driver's license. From his 10th grade year to graduation he did very well. He was even interviewed by the local online paper. A couple of tips he mentioned...

I am just coming off 3 weeks without touching a cue (and I have a diamond in my living room). I think it will be a good thing. Hit a few balls last night and shot straighter than I have in a while...and it was fun! REcently, pool had started to feel like a chore. Guess I needed a few weeks to...

Glad you agree. 👍

I would love to make 2k per day.. Just sayin' :cry:

I appreciate what MR does, but, IMO this format is more likely to hook the casual viewers. I made my daughter watch the last set and the shootout and she actually got into it at the end. The only other thing I have ever gotten her to watch is the MC.

I will forever marvel at his pool cue made from cardboard. No really, he had a prototype.

I interpreted it as whether by one ball or 50 balls, SVB is more than likely winning any long 10 ball race. I think his record is pretty impressive.

Doesn't matter run out the set or not. Watching a pro run essentially the same pattern for 3, 4, 5 sets is as boring as watching APA 3's play a race to 10. Professional 9 ball is almost as boring as watching 1 pocket down at the elks lodge.

Nashville is pretty much a Strait shot down I-65. Opryland hotel would be an amazing venue. Maybe with no casino oversight, the "action" aspect of Derby City would return...

This. I bought 2 -10 packs about three years ago and I think I still have between 5-10 left! They do come unsewn along the sides of a finger every now and then, but not a big deal to me.
