    When Matchroom purchased the U S Open from the Behrman family

    Not even Trudeau came up with a scam where he changed the color of the balls so he could try to make a few bucks selling the goofy balls. That's a new low.

    When Matchroom purchased the U S Open from the Behrman family

    Were there no Americans willing to take it on? The Brits would never consider changing the color of the balls in the English snooker championships because they have respect for the game. They have no respect for the American game which is why they screw with it for the sole purpose of...

    Orange 5 Purple 4 Matchroom

    I've caught myself many times looking at the purple to see what shape the player will play for when he is on the red.

    US Open hard to watch

    I know which match the op is talking about regarding slow play but look at the bright side. You can get up from the computer to go take a leak and when you get back you don't miss anything. Still agonizing over the same shot. It's free. I'm not complaining. Okay maybe a little.

    US Open 9B October, 2022 -- Atlantic City

    I'm not complaining but I'd think they would choose players who aren't slower than molasses to put on the live stream. Anybody tuning in to watch 9 ball for the first time didn't watch for long.

    Wrong Ball

    I remember a discussion about this when they made the decision. It still makes no sense and I've heard no valid explanation.

    US Open 9B October, 2022 -- Atlantic City

    More dogged shots than in a dog kennel. Table must be tough.

    Darren Appleton 145 Ball Straight Pool Self Commentary Video

    His videos on alignment and aiming are also excellent. Obviously a student of the game.

    Dennis Orcollo vs SVB (Race to 75) 9 ball (22-24 Sep)

    I played football in Texas in grade school - 5th and 6th grade. The grade schools had their own football teams. I'm originally from Iowa. I got a helmet with no facemask. Being a "Yankee" back then had a negative consequences. If the coach told you to go out for football you either went out...

    Has to be one of the best matches in the history of 9 ball. Impressive comeback from Orcollo with alternate break.

    Van Boening vs Banares in the PI

    Speaking of Orcollo I asked in the chat why he lost his visa. Someone said he was earning a living in American and didn't have the proper visa for that. I was wondering whether he can simply get another type of visa.

    Van Boening vs Banares in the PI

    Final 63-51. I don't think anybody in the world could have beaten Shane given the way he played. I watched parts of all three days and I never saw Shane miss. Up next is Orcollo and that will be fascinating to watch. Orcollo on his home turf will be tough. Congratulations to Sharks for...

    Is this a foul?

    I didn't know that. Does than mean I can take the protractor out of my cue case?

    SVB success outside of America

    Shane will be traveling to the P I in September to participate in a Sharks event. I'd love to see him get in one of those street games while he is there. That would be fun to watch.
