    "One guy offered me 10k for the cue... I'll probably keep it til I retire."

    If Shane feels he plays better with this particular cue than the average R360 he will play better. Pool is a very mental game, I would also bet that Shane could tell the difference between his cue and other R360's blindfolded by hitting a few balls. I have cues from most of the top cue makers...

    US Open Worst First Round Draw

    A few years ago Mika lost the first round to Chris Bartram and came back from the losers side and won the event!

    Viewing U.S. OPEN PPV on Apple TV???

    Both the Macbook Pro and the IPAD 3 have adapters that allow them to output HDMI, that would be the best way to accomplish this. Reading on the Apple TV it should allow you to stream your content the TV using AirPlay, I haven't tried this though.

    This Just In: Porsche Design Pool Table

    About six years ago I was talking to builders and they were taking me to some of their finished houses. One house we went into had an 8' table that they had custom made from scratch. It had an enormous amount of wood work and was beautiful to look at, they had a famous woodworking guy make the...

    SVB Get's Bad Rap Not Winning Worlds

    Shane hasn't figured out a system for traveling to other countries and dealing with: Time difference Language difference Food difference Culture difference Hearing difficulties I have traveled all over the world and it can be daunting when you don't speak the language and can't get a good...

    SVB not wanting to play Lion in all around for $50k?

    Well if you are going to go that far, why not bumper pool and bonus ball? I can see adding more games on a 9' foot pool table such as banks and straight pool, but to include snooker or 3 cushion billiards is ridiculous. Alex would be a HUGE favorite in any game played on a snooker table as he...

    SVB not wanting to play Lion in all around for $50k?

    You are correct, they are both good friends of mine and I will not stake either one against the other. I did stake Alex against Shane in the 1st TAR match that they played. At that time I didn't know Shane, since we have become friends and I value the friendships much more than the money. I...

    Stevie Moore shoots 1,000 on Accu-Stats

    It was Jason Klatt against Mika and as I remember the only thing he did wrong was break dry one rack.

    Stevie Moore shoots 1,000 on Accu-Stats

    Watched a match in the 9 Ball US Open where the guy who lost shot 1000. I forgot who it was buy both players shot 1000 from what I remember, it was a couple years ago. I believe he was playing against Mika the year he won it.

    Shane and Dechaine, stats

    If you think Mike is a favorite over Shane in short sets we can do one a day race to 5 for 1K until one of us says Uncle! At Derby we can do 1 set a day for 10 straight days. :)

    Winner Breaks or Alternate Break SVB Vs Earl "The Decider"

    I don't think it is going to matter, SVB is going to beat Earl quite easily. If you go to alternate breaks it will be closer but won't affect the outcome.

    Great match between Rodney and Dennis for the 10b crown.

    That was definitely the best comeback in a finalset I have ever seen! I am happy for Rodney and hope he continues to play at this level for many more years!

    Anybody recognize this old table?

    That is a cool looking table and would look great in the right pool room. My Father has a 8' Fisher table that has a one piece marble top and it plays the same as any other table. I think if you can get it out of the house pretty easily and it is close by it is worth saving, if it is tough to...

    I think we should collaborate! I think we can both offer some useful information.

    TAR NEW RELEASE: SVB Instructional Series: Running Out with Free Bonus Interview

    If you could get Shane and Efren to go through a couple of their games of one pocket and explain why they chose certain to shoot certain shots as the game was going on I think you would have a great seller! Thanks for all of these videos, it is great seeing what is going through a great pool mind.

    Just a little story

    Great story! It made me think of this story: I was at Glass City Open quite a few years ago and Richie Richeson and his stake horse came through and asked if anyone wanted to play some short rack banks. Tony Ferguson (Tony Fargo) stood up and said he would play, but didn't feel it would be a...

    bonusball from the eyes of a player

    On my screen it is split also, I am using Chrome. If I shrink my window so it isn't large enough to contain both halves then it wraps around and creates the correct image. John I appreciate your comments on Bonus Ball, I have tried to watch it previously and when all the kinks are worked out I...
