I doubt we will see anyone like that moving forward, outside of Mosconi Cup antics. It seems the trend now is to be as robotic and emotionless as possible at the table outside of a few grimaces here and there.

If his Wiki is accurate, he won Albania's amateur snooker championship 3 times. Either the snooker scene in Albania is pretty weak or Kaci has incredible talent to pull that off with no real history of playing the game. Maybe it's a little of both?

I was gonna say... He's almost Bergman-like in his build. Not as short but very, very small-framed.

They do need a "go-to" guy or even a pairing like MR has. Wych has a good voice but I understand why people might find him annoying. I think the problem is that a lot of the pros who are good on the mic are still competing. Niels, for example, is fantastic but I doubt he's ready to give up...

I read once where someone asked Darren Appleton what was going through his mind as he was running out the final rack of his World 9 Ball win (in a hill-hill match). Apparently his only thought was "don't move your head." Head stillness is extremely important from the time you lock your eyes on...

He's not my favorite but he was there all week, then is suddenly missing for the final.

George seems like a nice guy but he's not cut out to "carry" a match like he is here. Better at a supporting role. What happened to Jim Wych?

FSR's surge up the pool ladder has been pretty fascinating. He's been around for a while. It's not like he came flying out of the gates like Filler. He didn't really hit his stride as an elite player until he was 30 years old. Until 2021, I think most people viewed him as little more than David...

No, Fedor said Joe was a lot better than he expected him to be. I guess it depends on your definition of strong. A celebrity with a million other things going on who can break and run even 1 game of 9 ball on a table with 4 1/8" pockets, while playing a world champion, is pretty good. I think...

Fedor said that when someone asked him about playing with Joe at his podcast studio. I believe Joe broke and ran the first rack when they played before the podcast.

Gorst vs FSR has the makings of an absolutely epic match.

Saw Alex do it earlier vs FSR

So I played around with hitting most shots, including straight-ins, with a small (and I mean very small) amount of spin today. I've played around with it off and on for years but became a devoted "center ball unless otherwise necessary" player years ago. But, I have to admit there's merit to...

I'm sure he's commentated lately and I've missed it, but it's nice to hear Jim Wych back in the booth. For "play by play" commentary, I think he's got the most authoritative and polished voice out of anyone in pool.

Look at Mika's post about the incident and Raymond Linares's post.

Tyler Styer, Oscar Dominguez, Donny Mills, and BJ Ussery have all chimed in on FB supporting Mika and calling De Luna a shark.

Channeling Norm Macdonald with this post!

It's extremely unfair to any player, no matter how dominant, to say that a lack of "majors" in a single year defines a SLUMP (especially when said player put together a single-year resume that every pro, perhaps Gorst aside, would take in a heartbeat). Filler already has a Hall of Fame resume...

What slump? In 2022 he won UK Open, World Pool Masters, World Games 9 Ball, DCC Bigfoot, European Straight Pool Championship, and was Mosconi Cup MVP.

I honestly thought Judd was going to be a potting machine in that U.S. Open, but he had several bad misses. Not saying I thought he would go particularly deep or anything, but I didn't think shotmaking would trouble him much. But he looked like a mid-600s Fargo in his accuracy. I would imagine...
