    Pool's image. Colorful versus professional...

    The weird thing here is that we have three cue sport diciplines, and you would think that three related diciplines are based on the same values. But there are two very different approaches. In three cushion and snooker the focus is on sportmanship, call your own fouls and behave like a...

    SVB front Page Picture

    Very good pic, and that should also once and for all silence the people who always say after a lost Mosconi Cup: "short races, its just an exhibition and a paycheck, means nothing for the players" :thumbup:

    Can you straighten a warped shaft?.....Manwon can!

    I was in the Philippines some months ago, and had both a warped shaft (iQ cue) and a warped / uneven cue butt (Lucasi) fixed. It took a couple of days, and was not expensive. The cuemakers name is Bautista Dont know exactly what he did, think he had to open the Lucasi up to fix it, so he had...

    USA vs. England, MC warmup

    Congrats to Team USA with the win. Skyler and Tyler ( "are they brothers?" RIP Sid Wadell) played very solid - takes some of the pressure of SVB. Thorpe was seriously jetlagged after some airline trouble it seems, so I wouldn't judge him on his performance. Corey is unpredictable The team is...

    ...

    I am just wondering, is it WADA who are full of those European blue-bloods? Thats somewhat ironic - in order to get blue blood, you probably have to take some drugs that for sure would make you fail a drug / doping test Its getting hard to stay on topic

    Actually, he is. He puts the chalk on the rail FACE DOWN. Amateur.

    European Championships Dwarfs Any Pool Event in US

    Yes, you would have to pay 440 EUR to play 4 diciplines. Some countries send their players with all expenses paid, some sponsors part of it, and some players unforunately has to pay everything themselves - the financial ability in the national federations vary a lot. You will never be called...

    Two young "hurricanes" at the EC

    Great players both of them. There is also an older hurricane, Sandor Tot won his 10 ball final in the seniors division 7-0 in 21 minutes. When he was asked about the match, he said: "Sorry, I will play faster in 9-ball". Not all old guys play slow..

    My Playing Partner Is Always Trying To Pull A Move

    Life is too short to play guys like that, I would rather play one-pocket - right hand vs left hand. I like to gamble high when I do that :D

    Novel use of bridge or rules violation?

    Based on this, Earl should be disqualified from the whole Efren farewell tour in Germany. :-)

    Derby City Straight Pool 2018

    That is a nice bonus. However, since you add your "but", I can see how legal issues can make the payment obligation invalid. TV Mike is streaming and will he give up the ownership of that particular video? I hope so..

    Last Pocket 8-ball Rules

    12 years ago Roberto Gomez was in Norway, and got into a match with a local C player. They played for an amount each game in 8-ball. The C-player could pick any pocket for the 8 - ball. After the break, the C-player could pick any pocket Gomez had to make the 8-ball in if/when he ran out...

    The One Ball Into the Side Pocket? Really?

    If the 1 ball is on the spot, I try to make the cornerball and not make the 1ball - rather play for position to have a first shot after the break to make it in the corner where I break from. However, the break can't be too soft - in order to comply with the 3-point rule If the 9 is on the...

    World Pool Series Grand Final (8Ball) 31 Oct-3Nov

    Racker means a lot.. Perhaps we should consider who was racking? - In the Shaw/Ko match Michaela Tabb was racking, nobody made a ball . After the match, Jayson racked for himself and made a ball. In the Alex /Dennis match, Michaela was racking In the Shaw / Chinakov match it was RYO...

    Ko Pin-yi Match

    According to Giallourakis he had his first shot at 0-5, ran out that game, broke dry and sat in the chair the rest of the match. Taking into consideration the selective memory most of us have after a match gone wrong, I would guess that the two misses could have in the first 5 games, leaving...
