In Trapshooting they found that when you get tired you tend to "cross fire" meaning the eye opposite your shooting side is trying to take over. A lot of pros have sight blinders at the end of their barrel to help overcome this. See picture. I am not sure what can be done in pool other than...

In one of the commentaries, Alex Lely said that he asked Filler why he went back to CF and Filler said "no comment." Hope Predator did not force him to use CF as I have seen some speculate here.

Yes, blank.

Yes, you are right. ALT_ESV posted the play times above. It might have been FSR with the little break between semi and finals. Not sure when FSR semi ended.

I might be wrong, but I seem to remember that because of time constraints Filler only had minutes between the semi-final and the finals whereas FSR had a break during the time Filler was playing. I remember Filler saying he was tired.

I believe i understand where you are coming from and I agree. I guess you will define pattern play as always being on the right side of the ball leading to good positions and easy shots without having to rely on shotmaking abilities like Jayson. However, it is difficult to accept that the...

I remember pages of comments on this site that Jayson Shaw was playing incorrect patterns and will never do well in straight pool 😁 Efren played sophisticated patterns which no one thought about that turned out easier than the regular thinking... I remember some knowledgable commentators making...

Well, it’s nice to see some form of acknowledgement from the organizer about the chaos that happened this year at the Derby. If I recall correctly, the 9 ball finals also ran late last year, but not nearly as bad as this year. I only view the Derby online so some of my suggestions might be...

I believe that the shootout is the main test of mental stamina in pool. I have seen many of the top pros complain about using the shootout as the decider and I question their mental stamina. In Trapshooting you shoot a 4.25 inch diameter clay disk traveling at 43 mph in a 34 degree angle...

The Derby was on my wish list to see, NOT anymore. Look at the Chonan vs Garcia match played at 2 am - the guys were just out of it and I felt for them. Look at the finals, Shane missed shots he would have made with eyes closed under normal circumstances! Really makes you appreciate what Efren...

To me, the permanent tiny marks are less distractive than a bunch of white reinforcements during regular play. It's too time consuming to put up the white reinforcements for each drill session. I have seen practice tables where they have permanent grids on them. The permanent marks are not...

This might not be good advice, but being someone just learning the game my table has about 100 spots with a very thin sharpie for all the drill points I need.

$103k for 9 ball only? Then that looks reasonable. Do you know how many places got paid?

What were the payouts? $16,000 for first place in 9 ball with 529×1.33 (including buy backs) =700 entries, looks pretty meager to me unless I am missing something. Just saying.

Watching live, I certainly thought that he did the right thing to try to move the ball by Henney 's hole. Anyway, Cohan himself once made a comment that it's difficult to play Shane, Fedor, Joshua, Jason and other top 9 ballers because they make the long difficult shots. It is very possible...

Looks like Fedor Gorst locks up the MOT!

What an unbelievable blunder that was from t-rex. He had a long shot to end it with a ball near his pocket also.

Tied at 2 Hill Hill. Chohan to break.

Wow, Chohan beat Mika Immonen. MOT might be looking good for Chohan.
