I'm glad your checking things out again and that you seem to be enjoying it. Stay the course.

The case for Sky is that he has been, by a lot, the best Team USA player at the Mosconi for over five years now. Like Shaw, he seems to deal well with the hoopla and incessant crowd noise. Still, he hasn't had the best of years.

I hope AJ doesn't miss a ball. It would make for a great story. Still, even if he does that, he will have taken the Team Asia spot of many who are more deserving.

Fargo has Manas at 799, the 69th best player in the world, the 36th best Asian player, the 20th best Filippino player. In other words, 31 Asian players that are rated higher than Manas will be left off Team Asia. The Manas pick is a joke, and not a very funny one at that. He is a very...

Meritocracy is dead. Manas is not among the twenty-five most deserving Asians for this pick. To this point, he has achieved practically nothing as a pro. If this is for ratings alone, let's not be so foolish as to view the Reyes Cup as the best of Asia vs the best of the rest of the world...

So did everyone. I had no idea who dodong was.

Jay, I sense that Moritz Neuhausen is new on your radar, but he has played well for a full year now, including a) silver at the International 9ball, b) a win at the Premier League Pool event, and a win at the Peri. Here's a post I made this January, responding to Mike Page's post about who he...

Looks like the inevitable has happened. Unless Antonakis hoists the trophy, somebody will win the Hanoi Open without having to meet any of SVB, Filler, Gorst, Ko Pin Yi, Ko Ping Chung or FSR in Stage 2. For all the Cinderellas out there, this is your big chance, even though some superstars are...

The band Crown the Empire has an album called "CTE Forever". Surely, it's the only album cover dedicated to an aiming system.

His impressive consistency, in my opinion, is due to gradually improving shot selection. Let's see if he continues to develop in this regard.

Darn, I'm too old for this toy by about 65 years ago. Looks like it would have been fun, too.

Also missed the UK Open. If he misses three WNT majors and is still on the US Mosconi team, it will permanently dispel the myth that participation in the WNT majors is a prerequisite for inclusion in WNT invitationals. Stage 2 will tell the story for Lukas, arguably America's best young player...

Yes, Robbie is a good role model in our sport. Given that he has worked with Kelly Fisher, as classy a competitor and lady as you'll meet, it's no surprise to me.

Only match I watched today was Souto vs Zielinski. I saw some positive developments in Souto's shot selection compared to what I saw in 2024. Jonas is maturing as a player.

I believe that the two best 8ball breaks in the game belong to SVB and E Kaci. They will both be tough to beat in this event. Good luck to both of them and to all these fine players.

Glad for the players that this new event, with nice prize money, has been added. Calling it a world championship is, of course, comical. Soon, we may have sanctioned world championships in eight ball last pocket, one ball one pocket, spot shot shooting, and maybe even payball. If this trend...

To be fair, I did not watch. Le's see what he looks like tomorrow. Thanks for your input.

On what percent of the breaks in 8ball on a 9-footer does a player make more than two balls in one of the two sets. My guess, based on having attended numerous pro level 8ball events, would be 1%. Protecting players from the possibly negative consequences by making the game incredibly easy...

I'm spinning my wheels to come up with a possible Cinderella story at the Hanoi Open. Off a double hill loss in the quarterfinals of the Peri Open, in which he beat Fedor Gorst, I think Robbie Capito might be a player to watch at the Hanoi Open. His form is very strong right now, Still, Yapp...

Well done!
