Nice win for Sky, 10-3 over FSR. Maybe this is Sky’s day to win a major?

Looks like he took his eye off the 8 once down on the shot to make sure his shirt didn't touch the 9, which was right underneath him on the short rail. Plus he cueing a little awkwardly trying to make sure there was no foul on the 9.

I'm looking forward to his Mosconi Cup debut, which seems inevitable this year.

I've thought Filler was on another level for a long time. He's like a villain in a horror movie. Even when he looks down and out, he can still claw his way back to victory under conditions where many other top players fold. And when he's rolling, he tends to absolutely crush opponents to the...

Filler is just so freakishly good. He passes the "eye test" for best in the world far more than Gorst to me. Gorst is extremely polished, of course, but I think he lacks the intense aggression and supreme confidence that Filler has. IMO Filler's aggressive style of play, coupled with his...

Surprised to see Chang get eliminated hill-hill by a 752 Fargo (Babken Melkonyan).

Great, even Europe's children are capable of beating our Mosconi Cup team members!

The GB9 guy is the same guy who lives in Lubbock?

It seems like top 20 or so snooker players are 680-700 FR in pool by default just from potting ability alone. A few months of practice likely pushes them into the 725 range. But at a certain point in a tournament, being an elite shotmaker doesn't help much, if at all, because their competition...

If he is a legitimate Fargo 522 then that's probably the biggest upset in pool history. Edit: I don't think it's legit. The Philip Wildman listed at 522 lives in Lubbock, TX, and the guy Albin played is British.

Only fitting for Shaw to win this one.

He was already a 2-time World Champ (8 ball and 9 ball) at 16 years old. That is just unbelievable.

Allison played some really weak safeties. Gave up too many easy opportunities.

I would settle for hitting the cue ball exactly where I want every time...

Someone who will push me out of my comfort zone. It's very difficult to practice alone in a truly effective way where you are constantly challenging and pushing yourself. Human nature is such that you will inevitably settle in to practicing things that are barely challenging or that are simply...

Fat Willie's used to have two 9'ers at the very back, and I think they're still there. I believe they are (or were) Gandy "Big G"s.

I'm thinking we may be a little higher than 3% golden breaks at this WPM. Seems like we're seeing 1-2 minimum per set. I don't mind it, though. They aren't all dropping in the bottom corner pockets. I've seen them go in both side pockets, too.

Holy moly. Niels with an EPIC comeback against Filler. Down 5-1 and wins 9-5. I don't recall many people ever pulling off something like that against Filler.

I think that people tend to get stuck in pool precisely because of how "easy" the game is. In fact, it's so easy to pick up and play for some people that they don't see any appeal or draw to practicing and improving. I played a ton of pool in college with friends who were into the game and...
