Myriam is from Quebec,Canada. A French Canadian who has been studying the game under Luc Salvas. She represented Canada in the Amway World Pool Championship two years ago, and I believe she is the Women's Canadian 9 Ball Champion. Lac plays on the Tiger Planet Tour, I believe she is actually an...

Some players do not play on the first day. Some players only play one match a day, no match on the next, then two matches the follwing day and such. I agree if they also post a time schedule of the players' matches that would make things easier for those who are not there, but it is hard to do...

I just want to add that the flat spot on snooker cue can only be felt if you hold your cue at the very end on most shots, but a lot of players do not do that. Also, there are snooker cues with a round butt end, with no flat spot, such as a Kevin Deroo. Another thing I think is worth mentioning...

Vidas lost to Deuel.

I have received my shipment today, just want to post it here to thank Chad for his excellent service. Richard

Matt will be playing Japanese champion Kawabata at 14:30pm, wish him all the best.:) Richard

Congrat!!! Thank you for sharing.

There was an article about Matt recently, which I have attached the scan. Matt Krah is 25 years old, from Newark, DE. He started playing when he was 14. Matt won the Delaware Straight Pool Championship and also the Pro Am in Valley Forge in 2006. Matt is also a student in Business in Delaware...

I just want to congratulate Matt Krah, who won against Thorsten on a hill-hill thriller.:) For those of you who are not familiar with Matt, he was voted as the rookie of the year on the UPA, and is a regular in winning the Blaze Tour. A young man, with a great attitude, an awesome game, and a...

If you look at the stat of how many games they run out, and how many innings it took them to run out a table on average, I think you will notice that they are all pretty good these days. One big difference is the break--the breaks of some top ladies of our time such as Xiaoting Pan, and Jasmin...

Some of those early ones were built for the big cue ball, with a big tip and a thick taper. I think that is probably what you tried. My friend once showed me an old Gina with a 13.5+ mm tip, and a very heavy shaft, built for the heavy cue ball. By the way, I met a guy in Japan before, who...

I have played with a James White, with a solid ivory joint with a 3/8x11 stainless steel pin. I like the balance, and the fact that the cue does the work to move the cue ball around the table without much effort. I was looking to do some trade with another cue in the Derby, because I just lost...

I have a question: do you hold your cue with your first few fingers, or your last few. I know most books advocate holding it with your first three fingers, but I have noticed, on the final follow through of a lot of players, that they seem to be holding their butts with the last few fingers...

I believe Shane Van B will give Corey a very good work out for the money. Richard

I love my books by Fred. Lots of knowledge, and very entertaining at the same time. I love those pictures, diagrams, and the stories are priceless. Terry, I am glad you asked this. Thank you for the respond, Jay.:) Richard

I have heard from other pros that Shawn Putnam was the best; unfortunately, I will be honest here, and admit that I have never had the pleasure to witness his jump ability. Could anyone please show me some videos? Is Shawn Putnam voted the best because of his control, his accuracy, or his...

There were lots of songs and beautiful ladies in one post.:D I notice Kelly Fisher was sometimes breaking with her X Breaker and sometimes her Fury jump/break in her matches. I am glad to see that, as I though she has switched back to using Fury exclusively, since she was wearing her Fury...

Thank you John. I believe the Tiger ferrule is a bit different, I am just not sure if it will make the ferrule too thin, and/or if I can replace it machining a new ferrule myself. Too bad we will not be seeing you doing laser engraving in Vegas this year. I am sure the Fury experience is being...

I am thinking about getting a Tiger X shaft for my pool cue, to use it as a snooker shaft. I want to turn it down to 10mm, coudl anyone please tell me if that would be too thin? Thank you. Richard

I agree with your analysis completely. I also like Xiao Ting Pan's chance, but would like to go out on the limb and predict Ga Young Kim wins this one. Does anyone know, by the way, that Ga Young Kim has performed a small plastic surgery on her eyes recently?:) Give her a compliment on her...
