You can records of world and national 14.1 championships here, https://www.scribd.com/user/10247027/Deno-J-Andrews I’m not aware of any site or person who has aggregated this data. But if you were to spend time copying it all into Excel, you’d be able to get some good data. The average run is...

I’d love to one day take those PDFs of the World 14.1 championships and get that data into excel. We could see who had the most 100s, the highest average high run per match, the widest point spread etc. Sadly I don’t think we could determine the 50+ rate because you could theoretically have...

I feel like that second metric is possibly even more important. In snooker, the stat that really shows the divide between the players is the frequency of 50+ and 70+ breaks. Similarly, I think in straight pool the most important stat would likely be the frequency of 50-70 ball runs. I think this...

I get that, but the point is that given the difference in how both players collected their money, it’s not doesn’t definitively establish Fedor as the better player. He may well have won more money than FSR if he had equal opportunities, but he didn’t. You can’t give him credit for what he might...

FSR has 126k from 6 tournaments. Fedor has made 137k from 20 tournaments.

He can, but Judd used to hit them a lot harder too and has backed off his speed a bit. Even world champions can find things to improve at.

My math isn’t good enough to give actual odds, but the chances of potting a ball are probably higher than most people think but lower than what would make it worthwhile. Probably 1 in 4 or 1 in 5. But then getting the max is a tall order because those smash breaks tend to send the reds all over...

ChatGPT only has access to what is publicly available. So this will only really be a summary of what has been put out there in the past.

I heard their best player is like really good. His dad and brothers taught him how to play the ram shot.

Could the difference in the cushions between pool and snooker account for this? Specifically what I’m thinking of is potting a thinnish ball near the rail. My table originally had slow shaggy cloth and I could hold the ball off the rail on some fairly thin cuts. But when I switched to fast...

I’m not sure it works quite like that. Different cloth speeds usually necessitate different approaches to position play. For example, on slow cloth you can kill the cue ball even with some pretty thin angles, whereas you may need to go up and down table or side to side on faster cloth. You may...

Some of the regional series are co-promoted I think. And then there are indeed smaller tournaments that have hitched their wagon to matchroom. Arguably this announcement is mostly a branding thing, but that’s not nothing because they did have to formalize their calendar into a tour. But yes, a...

I’m not surprised to be honest. Unlike other occasions, Matchroom is an actual threat and the WPA feels the need to reassert itself. But I find it amusing that by all but abandoning 9 ball, the WPA is essentially giving matchroom what they wanted in the first place in a round about way. If all...

I would still pay to see it. I think this meant more to way more to John than Jayson, so it would have been cool to see him pass the 526 (and 600) mark. Plus, I think Johns game is easier for me to emulate than Jaysons lol.

Dammit, I thought he was releasing his 626.

Based on my coaching from other coaches, I would say sort of. I think the lines won’t line up partly because you are transitioning from the high planar to low planar to position, but I’m not certain for that. But coaching from Nic Barrow has instilled in me that you want to keep your head on the...

I’ve been working with this product for a few months so there some things I feel are worth clarifying. Vision centre is core to sightright but it’s not the entire method. Most snooker coaches teach some variation on vision centre, and stepping inward to the shot isn’t unique to sightright...

Arguably it’s partly what makes growing pool difficult because so much of the games income goes back to the players. If pickle ball is paying little to no prize money, then it has more money left over for promoting and advertising. A friend of mine is active in our national curling...

I did get unusually distracted while at the table after 2016…though since he’s out of power I can blame Trudeau. Damn him and his dreamy hair.

It might have something to do with sort of a choice overload since you can go through a rack in multiple ways while still doing it “properly”. In every other game there are fewer “obvious” choices since you have more limited orthodox options. I find that from week to week my 14.1 game can vary...
