    Japanese pool player Naoyuki Oi gives the most bizarre post-match interview ever

    I know I already commented on this, perhaps it just boils down to a taste thing. bob Dylan used to be talented. Eddie Murphy used to be funny. Now, we have women making five grand a day because they post selfies of their asses on Instagram. And hey, if you don't have a nice ass, do stuff like...

    Pool is NOT Declining!

    It's really quite simple I think, and yes I know you don't agree, but look, if you just lost every local tennis tournament and high school tennis events in the USA, it would have a huge impact on the entire tennis scene in the USA. The talent would not be nearly as strong, and there would be...

    Pool is NOT Declining!

    First of all, you kinda grossly misstated what I said in my opinion. But whatever, I'm over it. Let's look at this from other perspectives. What if we had a lot of people trying to solve engineering problems, but we didn't have any good engineers? What if we had a bunch of people who sorta...

    Pool is NOT Declining!

    Well, that's what I was saying about baseball. If there were no more great baseball players in the USA, but a lot of people were off their asses and actually playing baseball, sure I do think that would be great and I can agree with you. But, you'd also have to agree that it just plain sucks...

    Pool is NOT Declining!

    This is the key issue in my opinion. People talked about cycles previously in the thread, but the cycles didn't have to fade these pool leagues. In my opinion, the leagues are good for one sect of people, the league owners, and perhaps the people enjoying themselves in the leagues. I can't...

    If you really want to improve your game get a humidifier and tighten up the pockets.

    Good System for Backcutting Balls?

    Attn, announcing my new system, which works on back cuts... the GFBH* system. Get the ****ing ball in the hole. Exclusive 20% off if you purchase now. This system works on every shot imagineable, and long, tough shots when you're frozen to the rail or jacked up too! *patent pending

    Highest Fargo rating out there I found was 940

    The old "my opinions should always count, but these other guys' opinions should not be tolerated". People like you are pretty much the reason we had some very smart folks back in the day draft up that little thing called the constitution. Seriously, get off your high horse.

    Jayson Shaw best in world

    I agree with what Justin was saying for the most part. Even long races in rotation games in big pockets can be a coin flip. There's just no place for the sport to go really, in my humble opinion, until one pocket becomes the main game in both tournaments and action.

    This rejected shot should count IMO, what say you?

    First, the people who decide on the rules for pool can't walk and chew gum at the same time. Obviously. The first thing to note, is this is a refereed match (my comments may not apply to a gambling match). Easy... have a corollary to the ball pocketed rule stating that if the ref thinks the...

    How about get yourself a job

    Damn. I gotta say in all honesty, usually I come in here and people are about as far off with their opinions as can be. You and the op and perhaps others have stated something pool players need to hear. Then what happens? They ask for your grammar to be better, lol. Seriously guys, most good...

    Pro surfing vs. Pro pool

    You're wasting your time even typing that out. Surfers completely changed their entire sport and judging criteria for one. You can't even propose a small rule change in pool without people going absolutely bezerker, for whatever the hell reason I have no idea. Pool players are just totally...

    Who do you think is the most well known pool player (among the general public)?

    Not only do people not know these guys many are mentioning, any one of them could go on to win the next ten derby master of tables in a row, and still nobody would have heard of them. This is just a sad fact.

    Do you retip your cue or have it done by someone?

    One of those ferrules looks broken. Haha, sorry, maybe I'm wrong I just thought that was funny.

    Who do you think is the most well known pool player (among the general public)?

    Minnesota fats is by far the most known. There's no reason for the public to know about pool players because the results don't make espn because the total purse in the events is equal to about a third of what the last place player makes in a golf tournament. Nobody cares who is choking or...

    Who are the Best "Vertical" Players, past & presten?

    He calls English "helping English" sometimes, referring to the fact that the English itself helps make the ball. So yeah I'd agree.

    Pro players who play simple patterns

    I feel like they all choose simple patterns. Simple isn't always the best. Many times going an extra rail or two makes your buffer size on where you can land much larger. What's my best chance to get out; That's what you should try to keep in mind. If you think too much about playing simple...

    One hole is so slow, digital called and said there's not enough ones and zeros left to video it.
