    WNT, WPA and 2026

    How can you prove that Predator is responsible for clashing the dates for the Mosconi? Matchroom cannot say that the Mosconi will be in November and expect Predator to wait for the actual dates to be announced before scheduling events in November ... Karim alluded to this by saying that...

    WNT, WPA and 2026

    I suggest that you Google and listen to all the Podcasts Karim Belhaj participated in so you can hear directly from the "horse's mouth." Predator does not see WNT as a competitor for viewership. In fact, it is in Predator's interest to flood WNT events with all its best players so it can get...

    WNT, WPA and 2026

    From listening to Podcasts Karim Belhaj did, I got the sense that he was not onboard with a 9 ball only tour. He wanted 10 ball tournaments and also wanted to promote women pool.

    WNT, WPA and 2026

    I would bet that Jayson Shaw will be on Team Europe Mosconi team unless WNT makes an inconceivable blunder. He is the best team player ... everyone knows that. WNT might be going with non-player captains again. I have a strong feeling Scott Frost is going to be USA captain - deservingly so.

    WNT, WPA and 2026

    Commendable for you position on Filler, but you were hardly the only one on this Forum that supported him. Maybe you were the only Matchroom supporter that spoke up.

    WNT, WPA and 2026

    All reasonable posts by jbart65 so far. Mike Panozzo is one of the smartest mind in pool so whatever he says is almost gospel. I couldn't care less if WNT disappears off the map. Some other entity will fill its spot. Matchroom spelled its doom by getting into a spat with Predator and CSI...

    Fargo average and median values?

    For those interested, but were not able to do the math in the formula Mike gave - about 78% of the players in the Fargo database have Fargo less than 550 and 43% have Fargo less than 450 so 78-43 =35% have Fargo between 450 and 550.

    Fargo average and median values?

    Do you have a chart showing the distribution? If I guess that maybe 80% of your population is between 450 to 550 Fargo - is there a way to check this guess?

    Mental game poll

    There was a discussion from about timestamp 13:12 to 15:40 where they were taking about the "devil and the angel." Ricky Marshall, a multiple time All American captain, said that the devil was the subconscious that puts doubts in your mind ... and that's the way I have heard it from many top...

    Mental game poll

    Worth listening to. I learned some terms I never heard before.

    Best to Say Nothing at All?

    If there was no unsportsmanlike behavior during the match and I tried my best, I don't mind the winner saying "good match" ... sometimes I say "good match" even if I lose.

    Double Hit or Not? You Make the Call.

    Looks like after the hit, the tip moved downwards to the other side of the CB from where the camera was giving the impression of a double hit. Q. Is it physically possible to get a double kiss if the CB and OB is separated by just more than a chalk width distance and you are allowed to shoot...

    “Less Lucky” Version of 10 Ball?

    Pool is a game of inches so rolls have to be allowed. Even the pros say they depend on some luck and of course Efren the GOAT is known for saying "I got lucky." You can play whatever game you want under your own rules to make it as difficult as you choose and hope to find someone willing to...

    “Less Lucky” Version of 10 Ball?

    I think as an amateur you have to accept rolls, they can work for an against you. Rolls are not slops so they are more acceptable to me. Google the game Saratoga if you never heard about it. It's a combination of 8 and 9 ball with everything call pocket. It is difficult because the lowest...

    Why Your Skill Doesn’t Matter in Matches - Just in Practice

    The worst thing in any hands-eyes coordination sport is to say "don't miss" because you will most likely miss that very shot. I saw a video by one of the best trapshooter in the world (Phil Kiner) in which he claimed that the brain does not register the "don't " part and actually trigger the...

    Why Your Skill Doesn’t Matter in Matches - Just in Practice

    Exactly. What Sharivari (OP) is saying is that the skill level you have in PRACTICE is not the skill level you demonstrate in COMPETITION, mostly at the amateur and semi-pro level. Mark Wilson says that people play at 70% of their skill level in competition compared to what they do in private...

    Pro Billiard Series - Las Vegas Men's Open 10ball live now

    Okay, I might be sounding like a broken record, but forgive me. I just watched the latest episode of Sharivari on YouTube where he was talking about how difficult it is for him to perform at his true ability in live competition because of the mental stress, and I understand completely. As much...
