    European Open 2025, Sarajevo, March 11-16

    Forgive me, is your explanation using races to 3, or 4, or 5...? So to make your argument you're assigning an advantage to Fedor. Is it safe to assume that the winning % flips 180 if you provide that advantage to SVB rather than Fedor..? Even though SVB's fargo a hair lower? Again, the...

    Lee Van vs Morra

    With John being the #2 guy "representing" Canada, you'd think I'd have a little more faith in him. However the only time I don't think he's a dog is when he's gambling with Oscar. Never seems to be any middle ground. He's either steam rolling or being steam rolled.

    Bride arm tension?

    Best cueists on the planet are snooker players. Watch how they do it and mimic. That said, I can't imagine why looping your index finger around the cue increases your 'arm' tension.

    Bride arm tension?

    Bridge arm tension is directly proportional to your cue's balance point and vault plate / tip material combination....

    I was going to bother, but then thought better of it.

    Of course... for someone like myself that can run out any rack, but is unlikely to put much a couple to a few together. Alt break is where it's at. This holds true for top pros when you're facing guys that can string double digits together.

    yep... anything can be "stat'ed" out of argument.

    European Open 2025, Sarajevo, March 11-16

    I really like the format as well... short race but I'd stretch it out to 5. No shootout, but tie break similar to pro tennis majors with a mash up of winner/alt breaks.

    European Open 2025, Sarajevo, March 11-16

    I won't argue that IF you screw up you're stuck relying on your opponent to screw up. Which is just as unlikely as it was that you had in the first place. However this argument is reliant on the premise that a elite pro will screw up, and that providing alternate opportunity otherwise is moot

    European Open 2025, Sarajevo, March 11-16

    Sample size, sample size, sample size.... ad nauseum. Anyone that thinks two tippity top pros aren't continually going near hill/hill in an alternate break format, need to remove their noses from their calculators.

    Sharking

    Sharking is relative... What's in consequential to one, may be the end of the world to another. I generally find someone attempting to 'shark' me entertaining. Of course it's usually in a more passive methodology. Like I've never had anyone pull a gun on me while eye'ing up the 8b...lol

    Decent 8 ball run out, your thoughts please.

    Exactly why I hate playing a league that mixes 9ft and BB. My participation ribbon opinion...?...: Good job...! Well done...! You hit a lot of great shots..! Reality...?...: Typical slash a pray play I've seen/endured with bottom end players. Yep you got out, can't argue that. However...

    Amateur pool with josh Powell you tube page! And apa shenanigans

    I've actually watched a bit of his content over the last year or so. Although the voice overs do get long in the tooth. It's far better then some of the "professional" gum sucking I've heard on the accustats vids...lol Also nice to see someone not attempting to portray being an expert in...

    Simonis Spots

    blows my mind that home table owners use these massive spots. Keep in mind the point in those massive spots is to provide pool room owners greater peace of mind when hacks haphazardly rack the balls in random locations. IF you care about the placement of the rack. Then those massive spots are...
