    List of pro players who stick to wood as their playing shaft

    At least seemingly ;) Got me thinking that current WPC (2025) is a good chance to start such a list, just for the reference sake. As we know, nowadays many wooden shafts are not pure wood but could keep all sorts of carbon inside (rods, tubes, etc.) But based on appearance it is easy to tell...

    Mark Wilson on sidespin to pocket balls

    Around 2%, to be more precise. Whether it qualifies as a whisper or not, everybody could decide for themselves. (Anything more comes down as a result of clingy, dirty point of contact, which is totally another story)

    My oh my, DigitalPool, what the heck are you doin' with us!...

    FargoRate is another probable issue you mention here. I suppose there are enough events which Mike Page tends to process himself (not the TDs sending in the results). How on Earth is he going to know if the scoreline is real?! That is very sad in reality.

    I bet if you are an official scoring (bracket) service suppplier and you are a good one, you carefully check whether the entered scores are correct and up-to-date. Right here, seems nobody gives a damn. Oh well. This is fine.

    WPA Adopts Rulesets for 1P and Banks?

    One time I was doing really deep research on this one. But when it came to field testing (at a local pro-am event) many players rejected to participate in this survey, telling the necessety to push the button every time their inning ends distracts them :rolleyes: Therefore I didn't return to...

    Van Boening vs. Gorst 10-Ball Race to 120, Rematch June 2025 -- General Comments Thread

    Very true, but I assume the younger generation players back then were less skilled than nowadays. With modern era competition performing at top level and such age has become much much harder. So kudos to Souquet who is still stubborn and tries to walk along with younger aspiring monster competitors.

    Austrian open predator tour live

    In the past Eurotours were played with 3 consecutive breaks for each player. You never know whether it is good or bad until you try (or at the very least give it a considerable thought). I suppose they took this practice from table tennis. Nowadays each player serves twice in a row, no matter...

    Anyone aware of how the preparation went for both? How much fishing for SVB over practicing the break, LOL?

    Calling Dr Dave. And Bob J. And Jay H - close cue ball shot

    The real number might be even close to 99%, I was just too cautious to say that :) There is a common habit to shoot these close shots in RusPyramid, as they come up pretty often around the rack area. And most often the referees don't say anything. Yet if we were to inspect closely, the...

    Calling Dr Dave. And Bob J. And Jay H - close cue ball shot

    The root problem is that top practicioners of this variety of pocket billiard game tend to use such shots way too often. Bet more than 90% of those are illegal hits.
