My guess is Qatar put up the money and that's all that matters.

As long as it is stuck in Qatar with seemingly no promotion or publicity even within the small pool world it's increasingly hard to argue it's the nost important individual event and title to win. Maybe it will be again one day, but for now the US Open and in 2018 The International are...

I called last week and booked a room for the first weekend for 119 a night. If you want to book a room at the venue I'd suggest doing it now.

Most people have mentioned all of the best stuff. I play league pool rather than at the same room all the time so I have some stuff that I may not have if I played in a good room consistently or at home. My recommendations: Aramith green logo cueball for bar tables Last 4 ever tip tool (the...

I like them both. I play with a Pechauer (with an OB shaft) and I have hit with my friend's Mezz. Both excellent. I like the balance and feel of my Pechauer. I don't like the proprietary quick release joint on it because I think quick release is pointless and only serves to make it harder to...

The Efren "z shot" match. SVB vs Donnie Mills TAR match race to 100 RYO 9 ball. SVB vs Alex TAR match from 2008. I don't remember what they were racing to, but I remember it involves a crazy comeback. For 14.1 fans there was a TAR match between John Schmidt and Danny Harriman straight pool...

I think in the near future sports gambling is going to be legal nationwide and not just in Vegas. Since the Supreme Court ruling there are already a lot of states that are moving to legalize it. There would need to be pro pool infrastructure and organization first, but if that was in place...

I agree and have said similar things before. Sure pool getting big and becoming a mainstream or semi-mainstream sport similar to snooker would be great for the professional players, but for me personally there would be some drawbacks. The laid back atmosphere at tournaments and the ability to...

I booked a room for 3 nights at the start of the Derby using the code through the website and got my rooms for 119 a night. I think this is slightly different than in the past when the discount code only worked if you were staying all 9 days. In the past we paid more for rooms on the weekend...

I'm working so this is how I'm following it, and they are doing a fantastic job.

I kind of get it because of the demographics on AZ being what they are, but if you think the stream is reaching fewer people on a GIANT social media platform like Facebook than it would on specialty app like ESPN3 or a regular pool ppv stream you are absolutely kidding yourself. It is probably...

The first time I remember hearing about 10 ball was in the late 90s in the Camel Tour days. There were a lot of Camel Tour 10 Ball events. Back then it was played exactly like 9 ball with an extra ball. Like someone else said I think at least part of the idea was to fix some of the problems...

I believe that. Not too many books have been written that are funny enough to make me literally laugh out loud. McGoorty is one of the few. I need to dig out my copy for a re-read since it has been over 10 years since I finished it. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

I probably have some that I'm not even aware of, but just off the top of my head: I only chalk with my right hand. I pay attention (somewhat) to what part of the chalk cube I'm wiping across the tip so all 4 corner wear evenly.

I read Pool Wars as a ebook download (it was awesome), but couldn't find Pool Wars 2 in the same format. Jay, any input on this? Also, someone mentioned Bet High and Kiss Low by Grady Matthews. I've always heard that it A. has a lot of dirty stories and B. isn't particularly well written, but...

All of the ones already mentioned are good. I would also recommend Hustler Days and The Hustler and The Champ both by RA Dyer.

I tried that five railer today and I was getting very close after only a few tries and without really knowing where to hit on the first rail or how to hit the shot. I have no doubt someone of Willie's prodigious ability and knowledge would have better than a puncher's chance with a little luck...

With proficient players slopped in balls are rare enough that I don't think it is worth worrying about when playing rotation games. Also, it takes a bit of the unexpected excitement out if the pro game. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Maybe it's because I'm a traditionalist, but man I think the bright green cloth looks great on camera. The tournament blue might be easier on your eyes to play (allegedly), but man the green just pops on camera and it makes it easier to see the balls too. I've often thought the bright green...
