    Peri 9 Ball Open - Oct 2-5

    of course, peri is good money. one of the highest paying WNT satellite events. it's not much more complicated than that, and if MR wants hanoi to be the bigger draw they should up the prize money more than what they have. i will watch it either way, it's a great event, but i don't blame players...

    Making it in America - One Pocket Tour

    i mean if it's for aspiring, lower ranked players trying to make it to the foremost, highest regarded one pocket tournament in america - buffalos - it kind of makes sense, no? anyway. one pocket is good for humanity (that's actually a mahatma gandhi quote)

    Does Being Tall Offer Advantages in Pool?

    yes, this is the route i chose, because i found the rake boring to practice. i could run a rack opposite handed (not including the break). but if i were a pro i would 100% practice the rake, and that recent match with him beating filler showed why. there are places where you can't reach with...

    Does Being Tall Offer Advantages in Pool?

    i noticed vietnamese player hoang has a really good rake game. and he's neither short nor tall. probably the most boring shot to practice, but a really good weapon to have. if i get a home pool table i will raise it slightly like iusedtoberich showed in his table thread. i have back problems.

    List of pro players who stick to wood as their playing shaft

    definitely debatable. the last longer part is imo depending on the user. neither material will degrade if taken care of right. but it's probably also true that most users don't take care of their cue right (the ding people) and for them cf is better.

    Predator 10 Ball Format Great for the Game/Audience

    i'm fine with the set format. i think the difference between the race to 15 that matchroom has in their WC final is that it takes a different fortitude to come back from 0-8 there than the same score in the set format. the set format is a cushion for the losing player in a way.
