What I love about dubs is when you have a pair that's on the same page it's like playing catch with the cueball. Rita Chou and Chang Jung-Lin (RIP) were like that the last few events. We used to play loads of doubles in college. Just a great way to play the game and it's good for friendlies...

I love that pros seem to be settling into the mixed dubs. Love the format and a lot of these teams are getting dialed in with fitting partners (for those that don't have an obvious partner...). Interesting match ups in the first round: Seo/Capito v. Han Yu/Juanarta Liu/Morra v. The Fillers...

I keep Refresh PF single use strips in my case (and in the truck, hockey bag, backpack, etc), but they're primarily for my dry eyes. They absolutely help, but takes a few minutes for my eyes to clear up after using them.

I love ebony, but tend to prefer the lighter grained pieces. Both of my ebony cues (Predator Blak4-2 and Virtuoso Ebony/Green) have lighter grain and look incredible, not a fan of the dark pieces that are solid black. Not sure if that's a generally desirable trait with ebony or just personal...

Does anyone have hardness metrics on the Time Crystal tips? Doesn't need to be scientific, just a comparison to other common tips.

Hell with it, make all the balls orange. Just to make @Fatboy happy.

Just SVB and Fedor.

I don't have the statistical knowledge to apply to an event with 10 players and doubles, but i wouldn't be shocked if 11-3 is in the margin of error when you take racks into account. Best I can do is by average: 12.8 FR delta between the teams, p = .522 in favor of Europe, they won .583 of the...

Should be closer based on what? There's really no sound logic that this should have been competitive. Even before the rosters were announced i wouldn't have bet on USA getting to 6 like they did last year.

Let's look at it outside the Mosconi scope: For any major tournament on the planet are you picking Styer, Woodward, Thorpe, Bergman, Oscar, etc, etc to even beat top Euros consistently, let alone make a run at a tournament win? Of course not. Fedor and SVB are the only two that can.

It's actually really easy to understand: SVB has a better chance of beating the Euros than anyone else in the US. Let's be real: there's only 2 world class players in the US and as soon as you get past the top 8-10 they get shut out. Shane may not be winning, it may not be a good event for him...

Hey, that's my line! :ROFLMAO:

Dr. Dave here promoting dirty pool....<gasp> :ROFLMAO:

Even the official looked like he was telling her not to worry about it: "it's not you, it's him" type discussion.

Last note from me before the end of this ongoing massacre (unless something REALLY wild happens): Everyone screaming about Bergman and Oscar and Lukas...they wouldn't hold up any better. The US simply DOES NOT HAVE the world class players Europe and Asia have. There are loads of opinions on...

2 beers!!? He is a sconnie...

My takeaways today: 1. US just straight up doesn't have the talent depth, ESPECIALLY tactically. Euros could play keep away all day against us. 2. Fucking hell Filler is a murderer. 3. Shaw breathes this stuff. Egg him on at your own peril. 4. Moritz is the next Filler. He's the whole...

Outside of pool he seems like a legit good dude (like many of them), but in this case: is you want him to shut up, you gotta shut him up. No one in the US has that ability at Mosconi, certainly not Sky.

I think the table is telling Fedor to go home.
