    2024 World 8 Ball Championship (2-8 Sep), New Zealand , Winner $75K

    I don't know enough to take any sides (not that it would make one ounce of difference anyway). What I do know is that pro pool players aren't special. EVERY SINGLE PROFESSION has its own pitfalls of politics, nepotism, favoritism, etc. that must be navigated. At the end of the day, all we...

    Total knee replacement yesterday, no pool for a while

    The pain is all from surgery trauma. The thing that caused your chronic pain(bone on bone arthritic joint) has been removed. Almost 100% of the patients I saw on their 10 day follow up were pissed that they didn't have it done 5 years earlier. Good luck on your healing and you'll be hitting...

    Would love to see Sky break through that glass ceiling and win one of these! If Svb continues breaking like he has been, it may be a race for 2nd...

    European Open 2024, Aug. 6-11, Fulda, Germany

    Couldn't be. Didn't you hear? Pool is dead in the States. Our guys can't compete internationally...and on 9 footers! Not possible. 🤣🤣

    SVB withdraws from future WPA events

    Predator et al. offers a lot of free streams with good production quality and with good folks in the booth. Heck pimply faced teenagers are making million live- streaming themselves playing video games...there has to be a way it just hasn't been created/discovered yet. Maybe that's where I can...

    Ultimate Pool KC Open

    The two young Americans were very impressive. Taking down iceberg on the bb is no small feat. Congrats to Sam Henderson and Ricky Evans for showing that their is hope for the future of American pool. As for the tourney, the rules didn't seem so out there...besides the slop counting on the 8...

    Could a US based 9 ball tour work again? or is it too late?

    NFL Europe had a pretty good run. The NFL still sells out multiple games in Europe each season, as well as in Mexico City. I would be interested to see how much NFL gear (jerseys and such) is sold worldwide Good post. I would be amazed if any other country had the sheer volume of people who...

    Golden Fleece rumor

    Didn't svb and sky both grow up playing on bb's? Thought I read that somewhere. Regardless, It does not take a 9 foot table to develop a world class stroke...not in Today's world of super fast cloth. Used to be, 3 or 4 rail position took a real wallop. On today's cloth, the challenge more often...

    2024 World Pool Championship

    I prefer Scott to JJ. There. I said it. Cadence aside, the JJ monotone lulls me to sleep. Great final. I would love to know what was going through Fedor's mind when they played the Star Spangled Banner for him. I was certainly proud of him and proud that he represents the US. I couldn't...

    Post Something!!

    Speaking of...anyone remember the good old days when you could smoke a skunky joint that was mostly seeds and stems, be high for an hour, and be good to go after that? This legalized, fancy, purified stuff they have now will put you into orbit for the better part of a weekend! Shoot, I'm scared...

    Also, a buddy of mine got a new Whyte carbon shaft that I guess is painted to look like wood...I can't tell the difference unless I am looking closely. I wonder if more cf shafts will offer this option.

    2024 World Pool Championship

    What has happened to Chris Reinhold? A few years ago when he was chosen for the MC, some were saying he was going to end up being a top american. But looks like Thorpe, Sossei, Wolford, Lombardo, Styer, Oscar, all competing for that 4-10 slot for the Americans. Is he still progressing? Just...
