    That Vietnam crowd is what pool needs more of.

    And if I were a top touring pro these days, I'd be making the effort to make some connections while I am out there, to set up profitable visits in the future that are not completely dependent on getting to the top 4 in killer fields. Exhibitions, etc. There's a lot of money being left on the...

    That Vietnam crowd is what pool needs more of.

    Pshaw. Didn't you hear the news? Matchroom doesn't know what the fark they are doing, and is gonna "ruin pool", by "not doing things the way they have always been done." - American hardcore pool fan who tends to be over 55 /sarcasm Matchroom knows that pool is kinda sorta dead in America...

    RIP Piper

    He didn't paint men in any better light. In point of fact, Piper's character is in the end, a victim of male ego. Eddie's ego. Bert's ego. This is real life, and Tevis simply used pool as the backdrop to write a side story about the challenges a lot of women go through. Pretty easy to take a bad...

    Matchroom Major event -Hanoi Open (10-15 October),Vietnam, Winner $30K

    Coldest roll ever. He hit that break good, came cross table a full diamond above the side, slowly, and it got kissed in the side by the two banking off the top rail.

    Matchroom Major event -Hanoi Open (10-15 October),Vietnam, Winner $30K

    Well, to be fair, that is a pretty easy kick. You make it whether you go two rails, or hit it direct, so your kick target is nearly 3 balls wide. And you gotta get pretty unlucky to not get pretty much the same exact shot on the next ball.

    One dude was"clapping" with a pair of cue balls... 🤣

    Matchroom Major event -Hanoi Open (10-15 October),Vietnam, Winner $30K

    Yes, in one, winner played well, but also got every single roll that could possibly be gotten. Plus, his opponent collapsed, as well. We'll see if Jayson gets that many rolls, and a soft opponent in this set.

    Matchroom Major event -Hanoi Open (10-15 October),Vietnam, Winner $30K

    Well. He certainly deserves a little bit of luck. Shaw has had 4 dry breaks so far, and not a lot of love for Sanjin on any of them. Shaw missing shots left and right early on, and leaving Sanjin either dead hooked, or with a extremely tough situation to navigate. Add to that, Sanjin struggling...

    Matchroom Major event -Hanoi Open (10-15 October),Vietnam, Winner $30K

    From what I heard on Facebook, that was the REFEREE yelling out 5 seconds, right in the middle of Gorst's stroke. I mean, seriously.. Who TF is training Matchroom refs?

    Fedor Gorst nominated for Mosconi CUP Team USA!

    Ehhh.. I think either one has zero chance of getting Raga down 8-1... Under any conditions. Thorpe has a few fundamental issues to work out, but he is close to world class speed if he does iron them out. Age has caught up with both Deuel and Archer.

    Felt recommendation for unbranded ball polisher

    I mean, I might be searching wrong, but it looks like the price on Grainger.com is 36"x"36, 1/4" thickness for $222.00? Seems excessively expensive for felt. There is no 24"x24".

    I just got my Snookerspex order yesterday as well, in time for league this weekend!

    Fedor Gorst nominated for Mosconi CUP Team USA!

    Correction: They spent time and money "chasing 4th/5th place", because they don't, and likely never did, play well enough to guarantee 1st/2nd/3rd. SVB and Skylar had 1st/2nd locked up LONNNNNGG before Fedor got picked, and literally no other American "pro" ever had a chance at taking those...

    Felt recommendation for unbranded ball polisher

    Hey all, just got a new set of balls, and need to replace the felt for my unbranded ball polisher, that holds all 16 balls at once. There is a lot of dirt/particles in it currently, and I don't want to polish my new (Duramith) ball set until I replace the felt on the disc, and the holes. I read...

    John Henderson......health notice

    Yeah, sorry about that. Been awhile since I went through either book thoroughly... Your shot was even more nuts, as it prolly pushed a good portion of the rack to his side of the table..... 😁

    John Henderson......health notice

    I think a few details of the match were in one of the Eddie Robin books. I believe Jay was slightly hooked behind the stack on the ball nearest Jimmy's pocket, and decided to jump over the edge of the stack, ended up banking the ball straight in his hole, and Jay played well the rest of the...

    Proof reading is highly overrated

    Okay, first of all, I don't need to "believe" anything. I have known Eric (easy-e) for years, and played him again just before I moved to Germany, and he plays 650 speed, if not a little better. Second, I have also played in tournaments with Brady Gollan way back in the day in the Northwest...

    Fedor Gorst nominated for Mosconi CUP Team USA!

    Yeah, apart from the whole "being drafted to go fight a war in Ukraine to boost Putin's ego", it's a great place.
