Look i do like what Matchroom is doing for Pool, more events for me to watch, proper coverage, great. But it does seem to be the same old players over and over again, even in the open events. I know many events are ranking based or invitation but there are some supposed open tournaments Take...

Matchroom has really vamped up the events which is great for the players and great for fans BUT i know not everyone is a fan of Matchroom. As an Aussie with uk roots, it means i get to see these pool events on Foxtel in HD with proper production values and commentary. I remember trying to...

Shane obviously does not enjoy playing in the Mosconi Cup. If he quits playing in the event, he will get crucified for 'abandoning his country'. There is not a huge gaggle of upcoming US talent nipping at his heels to 'push' him out of the team. He will automatically be in the team for at least...

Who is your current Top 5 in the world for 9ball ? In no particular order, i think Joshua Filler Wu Chia Ching Shane Van Boening Jayson Shaw one of the philipinos

It really is a tribute to the game of American pool that more and more people worldwide want to play it. A few decades ago, the best European cueists played snooker or English pool. English pool has effectively died off and only so many can survive on the brutally tough snooker tour so that has...

Matt Bolton, the no 2 billiards player in the world v Sonny Lister, a legend of Australian 8 Ball in a 25K money match LIVE RIGHT NOW ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dsej1zJ7WU

What does everyone think about Chinese 8 Ball and it's rules ? I think it is getting quite popular in China You can find some matches on this youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/genipool14/videos They had a tournament with Shane Van Boeing, Darren Appleton, Chris Melling, karl Boyes...

Held in Cardiff in the early 2000s I know there is still a world 9 ball championship, but the tv coverage of the matchroom event was awesome and it did truly include the best players form Europe, Asia and the USA. Also because it was held in Britain, many snooker players gave it a crack which...

For the individual players, is it worth the stress and hassle ? Look at how much grief they have gotten from this forum alone ! When the US was easily beating Europe, they were beating up on snooker players and part time pool players. That was the idea of the Mosconi cup in the first place, to...

I saw his name mentioned here so i watched his match v Earl on youtube He is amazing for such a young player. Awesome break, great potter cool head So obviously he is one of the future stars of American Pool But will he want to go into Professional Pool fulltime ?

Hi everyone 2 of my mates and myself hope to come out to Vegas later in the year for one of the big open events. We are from Australia. We aren't professionals or anything like that but we are all pretty decent cueists. We do mainly play snooker and english pool and some american pool. It is...

I think it is really disappointing that we have lost this aspect of the sport I used to love watching the full athletic bustamante break or the insane follow through of Johnney Archer's most powerful break Because of the tables and the rack, just a medium power precise shot is required. Chris...

The Mosconi cup website says there is one session per day, 11am to 4pm Is this correct ? Aren't they missing out on a lot of money/atmosphere/spectators by not having an evening session in wild Vegas ?

like last year ? I rang them and the clueless woman from india knew jack all If it is being shown, i'm taking some days off work but i can't find out from anywhere

Ok it's 8-8, double hill in a race to 9. Your opponent has just broken and it's a beauty, 2 balls down, legal break and all other 7 balls nicely in the open At this point in time, would you consider blatantly and obviously unscrewing your cue and putting it away a form of gamesmanship ? Your...

Let's hope so !

Really hard reaching such heights so young. Wu Chia Ching was just stunning at age 16/17 Has he really progressed at all since then ? Has he got any room to get better ? I personally think he has the best break bar none, seen him break in both 9ball and 10ball and he is deadly The rest of...

We've had the Asian invasion and the European invasion into pool, now i think we are in the middle of a British invasion into the top echelons of pool It's already started with Darren Appleton, Karl Boyes and Darryl Peach amongst others but there has been a change in the UK pool scene which is...

Watched the Premier League Darts the other night and man the arena was absolutely packed ! and the atmosphere was total electric. The production was great and it was just all done so well. Darts is such a simple game but i love watching it and i don't play it at all How come Darts is doing...
