What's interesting is that the Russian speakers in that link have so many variations. I assume that's different dialects from within a very large country, just my guess. I'm sure the one course I took would have made him FED-or, or maybe FAY-dor. Regardless, he sure strokes straight.

This is of zero significance and even less interest, unless you're sick of hearing that Matchroom Brit refer to Fedor as though his name rhymes with borscht (the food). There is a consonant in Russian that sounds exactly like our "sh" sound, but it doesn't occur in the Russian spelling of Gorst...

Elite was all I ever came up with, but the Elite logo (all caps) is quite different. Also, this has a steel 3/8 x 10 pin into wood, which struck me as a little unusual.

Anyone recognize this logo? It's a nice enough cue, but I assume it's an inexpensive whatever as it was given to me by a pool buddy who passed away. Thanks.

Looks to me like league players socializing, laughing and buying each other beers are genuinely having fun. The rest of us are continuously accepting a challenge and taking it seriously, because we experience validation when we meet it and some level of disappointment, even a kind of agony, when...

Agreed. Almost every player there was breaking at whatever speed he/she could make the one in the side.

You're right. I forgot about Amit and the other two I see so rarely. So many formidable women players.

Up until recently, I would have put Chezka, Rita Chou, Tkatch, Wei Wei and probably Jasmine ahead of her. Seoa has posted on her Instagram that she was unhappy with her mental game and was working on it. Given her win in Indonesia a week or so ago, along with her showing so far, whatever she's...

Yep. Can't get anything.

I got an apologetic email from MR this morning, just a tiny bit premature it seems. They bring up refunds but don't say how to request them. Here's an excerpt from the email: "We did identify the cause of the error and our team worked diligently to implement a fix, this resolved the issue and...

We sure don't need to thank the Saudis. I'm glad Matchroom is taking their money for the benefit of pool, but that's it.

The point of an Instructors Match would be to see, under game conditions, how THEY try to apply the techniques they're telling us to apply. I suspect I'd learn something from that. Sure, it would be entertaining, because many of us average players appreciate and admire these guys, but it's not...

I'd like to see a few Ring games with Dr. Dave, Bob Jewett and Mark Wilson, where they're competing, but also talking shot analysis, what they're thinking, how well they feel they're executing, etc. Yeah, I know, not gonna happen.

Players Rengas/Maple, Zebrawood/composite, Stained Curly, J/B composite. Schmelke Bocote, Rosewood. Except for the J/B, they all pair with my Kamui-tipped Rhino.

Here's my theory, for what it's worth. I'm not a particularly strong player, but somehow I've always been way better than my pay grade on extreme cuts like this. I always approach them the same way. For the OP shot, I'd use extreme outside left english, aim very slightly wide of the OB edge and...

I could have mentioned up front that the neuro ran upper body nerve conduction tests, which were abnormal. So there is a strong diagnosis based on the correct test. There is a surgical option. Trying to keep it simple here is a challenge.

Many thanks, ChopDoc.

Wow. Nobody's complaining about anything. I simply asked if anyone had encountered a repetitive stress injury from playing pool. That's a yes or no question.

A friend went to see his neurologist due to pains in his arms. After eliminating other possible causes, the doc told him it must be repetitive stress injury from playing pool--and that he needs to quit. Years and years of heavy play, I could understand, but I can't believe this as my pal is 82...

Ain't that the truth.
