When I went to the MC at Mandalay Bay in 2019 the atmosphere was 100% real. It was actually one of the most incredible competitive atmospheres I've ever experienced and rivaled college football games with 100,000+ in attendance. It's hard to describe watching it on TV but when you're there, you...

Do we have the day two lineup yet?

Focus on a smooth transition between backstroke and forward stroke and keep your grip pressure consistent. I run into the same problem because I naturally have a relatively "weak" jab stroke. I can get away with it 95% of the time, but when I need to absolutely juice up on a ball, my mechanics...

America didn't have better players in 2018 or 2019. What changed? You're sorely mistaken if you think coaching doesn't matter in the MC because they "aren't calling plays." Assisting with team chemistry, ability to handle pressure, and planning strategic matchups are a major part of the deal.

Then why did USA lose 10 out of 11 until they brought in Johan? He dominated as Europe's coach and then turned around and won 2 out of 3 with America.

Never seen a player get more rolls than Filler

I wonder if the blog was outsourced to someone who used an AI to write it (and perhaps tweaked a few things here and there for specificity) and then passed it off under their own name.

The internet is becoming overrun with trash, mostly nonsensical articles written by AI (that haphazardly cobble together information grabbed from other websites), and I suspect this is one of them.

Who sets these odds? Given pool's relative niche status and lack of betting opportunities in recent years, I can't imagine this is too terribly well-researched. Regardless, I'm with sjm on this. I would never bet on what is essentially an exhibition.

Thanks for sharing. I've always loved this stroke shot from Earl too (5:56): Earl's got a foot-and-a-half long bridge and pulls it almost all the way back to uncork that monster stroke.

I think this is it. A straight stroke, especially at faster speeds, does require muscle memory (and enough confidence/experience to avoid jerking the cue or changing grip pressure mid-stroke). But ultimately, it's a pretty simple movement when the elbow is fully aligned with the shot. The...

I could see that referring to players who use max spin and less speed. Swerve kicks in sooner at slower speeds which makes the deflection from max spin less noticeable, especially on longer shots where the swerve has time to really take effect.

This is huge. The "feel" aspect is completely different. I'm stroking the ball now. My stroke was okay before but now it's accurate and powerful. It's an entirely new sensation when my cue tip strikes the cue ball.

This is absolute gold.

Wanted to give an update on this and say that fixing it (which ultimately was too tight of a grip, which tended to show up mostly on long shots) has led to more consistency in my game than probably any other change I've ever made. Basically, it required "easing into" changes where every time I...

FSR gotta be the heavy favorite in the finals.

Agreed, but it seems like Filler almost always avoids it and can convert a single opportunity into an advantage. It takes the other guy keeping him in his chair to truly deliver a beatdown.

I can't remember Filler ever being so thoroughly whipped like this.
