Sjm, that is great thread title, i enjoyed your write up. Interms of progression of American pool, much of what you reviewed, we have all known about for a while now.(maybe time for a new coach to take over next year) Intresting what you thought about MR, who could see this result coming.

At the start its just good, to get your foot in the door with enough table time, but your right it will only get you so far, at some point you think... who can i play to get better. Its the one thing, that will make you really competitive. Also bit of help, along the way also helps too.

I belive it is, if you get obsessed enough with the game from a very young age. All you want to do is improve, get better. Tournaments and stuff come later. As long as, you got some where to play. and you enjoy what your doing. Endless hours will follow. Its always been the way, the younger...

A standerd j&j break or a Schmelke cue. Will do find a nice weight you like, and then find the right break tip for you.

If its the one im thinking of,I've seen them on ebay. there a very cheap layered tip from china.

Weren't thoursten hohmann and Niels feijen still playing top of there game back then. And SVB.

I think your spot on here, thats how it feels when im watching now. Its just an exhibition, if it had started somewhere else. I doubt it would be like this today. Its Only in the UK!! That football type atmosphere. One thing i will say on the whole,Americans not wanting to travel. If any of...

He has done well, just shows how competitive that tour is. I would say its more the guys ranked 64 and higher. Every two years i belive it is, when there tour card ends, and those who aren't in the top 64 have to go to, cue school. To try and get there place back. Only winning a few matches a...

I agree, i watch it every year, hoping to see a real contest.this one, was so one sided, thats why we saw more antics than usual. The last two America won, seem so far away now. thought with fedor this year, thay had a real chance.

. 8 years you have done very well, yeah breaking and jumping really cuts the life span.

I remember watching that last match live on sky, it was incredible. And the breaking from both was phenomenal. That match could of went either way!! One jump shot and one safety, was the difference.

Yeah A cloth works very well. The courser the better. The more you work it, the better it will look.

The original tape of this match, is still on youtube. Weird how there voices sound.

Yeah i would say personal decision too, if its used over many hours a day, will be fine if, its cleaned properly.with a decent clean regularly. The main difference over time. Is it plays a lot faster.mine has those black marks on the shelve of the pockets. I think its been, about two years now...

Very sad news, i remember him from 2002 worlds,he also played in world pool league 2002 and 2003. just came from nowhere. He played some of the best pool, you will see.

If the score line had been alot closer, no way, would it had been like this. Look at that last match, not much dancing around. It always is a circus, but this year, your right is very over the top.

This is spot on, as long as you keep it that shape, it will last a long time. The secret to any tips lasting, Is try and do as little to it, as possible. I'm on a nice Lepro at the moment 2 and a half months old. i know if i leave it alone, it will stay that shape. Until it wears right down.

I used to be a euro fan, but im kind of neutral now, after watching these for so long now. i just want to watch a well played event. With both sides going at it. I wish more guys are like filler, and really enjoy the pressure. You can see its tough to deal with, especially on those big shots.

I can't see it happening, there is a reason its referred to as '' the ryder cup of pool'' I fail to see how this makes great viewing though, you just feel for the americans.

As much I've enjoyed reading this thread. From Shane missing in the first match , and from the 2nd match onwards America looked very flat, Shane's body language on that match, just set the tone, and yesterday fador looked under so much pressure, jj did put his best player out. To try and get a...
