Over the past year I've received feedback from a few different opponents saying that I'm shooting too hard. At first, I didn't think much of it since I was playing position fine and not overrunning shape very much. However, after hearing it a few more times I started to practice slowing down...

Good question! My favorite is James Aranas. I was following him very closely when he first came on the scene and was streaming a lot of his practice sessions and personal life through Roy's Basement. I feel like I've got to know him in a weird way so I always like to watch his matches and...

The Matchroom major events this year have paid 60k for first, and 30k for second. I believe it was 30k/15k last year. So I don't know where you are getting these numbers. And it's check (not cheque lol). Major Event Prize Money: $150,000 – $299,999 Blue Ribbon Event Prize Money: $300,000+

Here's a video I found on this topic. Start at the 8:00 mark:

Hypothetical situation: Cueball and object ball are separated by 12-18 inches. Both balls are frozen to the same rail. What's the best way to pocket the object ball (down rail into corner pocket)? I've read about tips/tricks in the past but I can't remember what they were since these shots...

I agree. Somedays something is just off and you can't figure it why. Maybe you're too tired. Maybe you drank too much coffee. Maybe you're blood pressure is high. Maybe your timing or coordination are off. Who knows? Sometimes playing through it will work but I usually just put the cue...

Is there any additional information on this? Based on Alex Pagulayan's facebook posts he made it to the final 16 but all of the brackets seem outdated/behind. I would love to follow along somehow...

I've heard this before too. The room would be too small for the pool table so you would have to stand in the kitchen entrance when you break.

The same reason why fat guys go to the club when they have no chance of scoring. They just want to spend a few bucks to test the waters...

If you can't tell the difference, then it really doesn't matter, does it?

Circa 2013 I went to a big bar box 9-ball tournament on Thanksgiving night at a hotel in Akron. There were around 115 players signed up and the guy who won (Pedro Arrona) bought himself in the Calcutta for only $20. I don't know the payouts but I remember Chris Bartrum bought himself in the...

How about this metric?

No, it can't. This doesn't make much sense at all. Especially considering SVB is much older than FSR. So if anything FSR would be a version of SVB. But even that doesn't make any sense. They don't really have anything in common other than being top pool players.

It's all cyclical. Every few years a fresh player gets hot and starts crushing everyone in sight. We all think he's the best ever until his hot streak cools down and someone else gets hot. Right now it's probably FSR or Fedor but we've seen the same recently out of Filler, Albin, Kazakis...

Justin Espinosa (Fargo 727) was banned by APA for being too strong. Here's the rejection email:

Every poolhall is different but anyone who is familiar with pool shouldn't have a problem with you using them. They are easily removed and don't cause any damage. However, if you over-use one specific spot of the table during a drill it will leave a burn mark on the cloth, so be cognizant of...

I don't think his slow play is a tactic. I think he just refuses to shoot unless he's totally comfortable. So if he is the slightest bit nervous or uneasy he'll just wait 5 minutes until he relaxes. It's very boring to watch but I'm sure this is how he manages to play his best. I bet he...

I remember this match too. I didn't watch it live but I found the video somewhere at one point. The spot was big. I think it was the last 3 and wild 7 or something like that. Hennessey started crying about the rack halfway through and got SVB all pissed off. It didn't go so well from there...

Does anyone really know why? At first I heard he was deathly afraid of Covid but I doubt that is still the case (if it ever was). If it's finances, he sure picked a bad time to quit. Prize money is really starting to take off with Matchroom. Maybe we'll see him return soon once it...
