    International Open

    Shane just beat Albin 11-2 last month in Atlantic City deep in the tournament. I remember watching that; Albin never had a chance. Shane put together a few packs and the few times Albin was at the table he never had an offensive shot. He didn't get a single roll in that match and was reduced...

    Who will be Europe's 5th Mosconi player

    Is too bad USA does not have a better current culture for this great, American of games. I'm a bit surprised USA has any decent younger players (I suppose the argument could be made that we don't) at all given the scarcity of options. There is no pool in high schools and middle schools. No...

    The International Open Fields are Filled.

    Awesome. Love it. Surprised to not find Billy Thorpe's name listed in the Players section. Hope everything is alright with him...

    Diamond Open - Aiken, SC

    I really hope JJ is noticing Tony's recent rotation game and giving him much consideration for Mosconi Cup. For the three remaining spots on the team I cannot come up with 3 better rotation players in USA than Tony. Actually, I hope he gets more than consideration but rather selection.

    Nick Schulman and Jeremy Jones Commentating at the U.S. Open

    Agreed. Nick does an excellent job as a pool commentator. I had to google his name earlier this week wondering who this smooth guy behind the mic was. Quality commentating enhances the viewing experience greatly; is refreshing to press the volume up button on a pool related broadcast. Some...

    STRONGEST FIELD so far this year-Las Vegas Open (1-4 Sep), 10 Ball/9 ft table, Winner $15K

    Embarrassingly bad format in every possible way. Pool in USA needs a "Pro Tour" so was excited to see this series unveiled when announced though now resigned to chalking this up to yet another disappointment for the game. It sometimes feels like there is a cosmic force out there working...

    Team USA will not have Justin Bergman at Mosconi Cup

    Ya, we never really got an explanation why Tyler was left off the team last year especially after Bergman dropped out due to Covid. I wonder what it is about him (or them; Shane, JJ, etc.) that led to that exclusion. That's an interesting comment about Shane and Josh too which does not...

    Team USA will not have Justin Bergman at Mosconi Cup

    I fully agree that Chohan is worth a really hard look. Was thinking the same thing watching him slickly run racks last night. He had a real strong showing at Texas Open 9 Ball too. I'd pretty easily choose him over at least two of the three guys USA would be considering not named Shane or Sky.

    Where does SVB rank all time?

    After watching the 9 ball clinic SVB put on at Texas Open this weekend + old videos of Sigel, Hall, Strickland, Reyes, etc. on Youtube I'd say SVB ranks as the best rotation player ever though I'm dealing with small sample sizes obviously, haha. His speed control is the part of his game that...
