    Pro Pool Payroll in Perspective

    Another thing to consider is that it doesn't include any monies collected 'professionally' that weren't won via event. ...and the expense renumeration they would get to some degree via sponsorship. I'd wager the professional player of today is far more money savvy then the 'pro bangers' of old.

    8 ball last pocket

    Too many coin flip match ups in the States. The "Shane defense" will be an excessive race length.

    FOLLOW SHOT CONTROL Principles and Drills

    Forgive me if you happened to mention or post a link to that info page somewhere in the video. I must have missed it. I made the effort to hunt for the page you linked to in the above quote. After referencing your vid details, and following a couple of links found there and on your website...

    FOLLOW SHOT CONTROL Principles and Drills

    I honestly didn't watch the vid until you asked for this critique. If I was going to be extremely forth coming. I'd say the inclusion of the math is fine. However you spent a bunch of time commenting on OB results. Which imo are moot. IF I was going to be critical. I'd would say that it...

    What is the One Major Player Flaw You See Most Often At The Pool Hall

    Now this is something that has never landed on my radar of shit that matters.... That said, I totally agree that this is something that would throw a player off. My bridge length is a product of table traffic. You can't put your hand/forearm where the traffic is. Allowable stroke length is...

    What is the One Major Player Flaw You See Most Often At The Pool Hall

    Funny that you consider that a flaw. I'm not sure if it's a snooker player thing, but I feel my most comfortable when gripping the butt of the cue. Probably why I generally don't bother with using an extension when most probably would. As long as it doesn't alter the position of my wrist. I...

    EYE PATTERN “Best Practices” … Cue Ball or Object Ball Focus Last?

    No worries... Lots of people miss-speak their thoughts on forums. Glad we could clarify what you meant. Rather than let those expecting coherent responses be mislead.

    EYE PATTERN “Best Practices” … Cue Ball or Object Ball Focus Last?

    ok... clearly it wasn't and you did have the opportunity to word it correctly to avoid the veiled intent, so you'll have to apologize me for taking your words literally.

    2025 Mosconi rosters - Euro changes a coming

    I think people fulfilling contracts they willingly entered is a good thing. I know some, (not saying you specifically) want to paint MR as some evil do'er. However, they have a business to run and securing talent to showcase is only a smart move. IMHO, they took a high road by not locking...

    2025 Mosconi rosters - Euro changes a coming

    USopen of old doesn't have the same foothold of legacy as the new version. Gets that open the door to the comparing eras argument.

    Tip size

    As a former snooker player and someone that's still fairly decent at applying heavy amount of english in the game of pool. I can say that this ability is 90% stroke, and not the result of tip size. Snooker players simply on average have considerably better mechanics then pure pool players...

    Tip size

    Apologies... you quoted me but didn't include my tag within so I wasn't given a notification. I guess the obvious answer is that you could put a larger flat spot on a large tip, and that's exactly why I noted that there could be an advantage to a larger tip, if that was your approach. That...

    2025 Mosconi rosters - Euro changes a coming

    Oscar has been the biggest casualty of Mosconi bs for years. I don't blame him. I understand that landing in the bottom half of points standings opens you up to not being selected, but imo the man clearly put the time in and had the results. Being passed over was a bit of a slap in the face...

    2025 Mosconi rosters - Euro changes a coming

    Should be noted that Filler played none of them and they instead fell victim to weaker talent. The event you noted had 13 of the 59 pros currently rated over 800 (25%). Souquet at 795 is not one of them, but I like the honourable mention. Of those 13, only 7 are in the top 25. Honestly, it's...

    2025 Mosconi rosters - Euro changes a coming

    I agree, they would... That's the unfortunate reality when a player such as Filler wants two slices of cake. MR would be better served with a hardline for their contracted players to prevent them from playing in other organization's events. That would prevent the scenario you're describing...

    2025 Mosconi rosters - Euro changes a coming

    No... To have a conflict there needs to be opposing sides. MR does not care about the WPA. The actual conflict was with Filler and the WNT/MR. He made a commitment to MR, and then opted to break said commitment to maintain WPA status. Basically, Filler took an unapproved vacation from his...

    2025 Mosconi rosters - Euro changes a coming

    The MR points standings is the guideline for player qualification. That doesn't translate to an uninhibited right to be on the team. I apologize. You did not. However that is the narrative most chose to chant on AZB. Insinuating that a potential deal between MR/WPA would allow Filler to...

    2025 Mosconi rosters - Euro changes a coming

    Ya, and I'm certain he'll continue to win more. The point was made that some deal between MR and the WPA would make Filler a "shoo-in" to play in the Mosconi. My argument is that any deal between the two orgs has zero bearing on whether he can or not. His exclusion last year was not dependent...
