Last year we saw Mickey Krause and Johan Chua really come to the fore as well as a number of players who did not necessarily win events, but did some damage in major events. Who do you people think will be the emerging stars this year? and who do you think will kick on and start making waves for...

There have been a few blow up's recently in NYC over certain well known rack manipulators, manipulating 9 ball racks and soft breaking in order to give themselves an easy layout after the break. I have played in tournaments that allow it and it makes the game a farce. I utilized it in a...

The great debate around calling yourself a “pro”, is far less subjective now that Fargo is in place. I am interested in hearing was Fargo level people think players should be at in order to legitimately call themselves a professional pool player. i personally would guess 730+ for men and 660+...

I have noticed some interesting seeding choices in some of the recent big events and I am curious as to what people think is the purpose behind seeding. 1. Is it to reward your regulars? 2. Set the field so higher level players don’t play each other early in a tournament? 3. a combination of 1...

Hello, I used to play the CSI event in Vegas every year at the Riviera and then Rio. I seem to remember when I first attended in 2007 that the total participant numbers seemed to be around 20k people across all of the events. I am just curious as to whether there are total participant numbers...

I have recently developed a muscle strain and mild arthritis in the shoulder of my cueing arm and would love it if anyone has developed a way of protecting such an injury whilst still playing. I started physio therapy last week and am now exercising it daily to try and help speed up the healing...

I see two pro level players on the same open team and in open singles who are going to rob the open divisions this year at nationals. It seems weird, because as far as I can tell they are definitely regionally known monsters. Can you spot them?

I was informed last night that the dress code for the BCA National's in Vegas now allows you to ear shorts as long as they are dress shorts, smart casual or denim shorts. Personally, I am not a fan of this change. I would prefer it to get stricter, with competitors having to wear dress trousers...

I am tempted to treat myself to one, but before I do I wanted to see if anyone on here either has one or has played with one. If so how well did it play? For anyone that doesn't know John Parris is regarded as being the number one custom snooker cue maker. Thank you

So during a tournament in Vegas this week there was what I perceive to e be a weird ruling/ reaction. We are playing the team event and 3 times in a row on the black the opposition player gets up and walks away as our team member was shooting. I asked the ref if the other team does that whether...

Does anyone know of half a dozen easy trick shots i.e. ones I could pick up within a few hours and show to a bunch of kids? I have agreed to help out (be the house pro) at a party at the weekend and although I am an okay player, I have never done a trick shot in my life. Please help prevent me...

In a tournament recently, I noticed a player playing ridiculously slowly, at least a couple of minutes for a routine shot. This was consistent during the match. At the end of this 2 and a half hour race to seven (it was probably closer to 3 hours and there were a total of 11 racks played in the...

It seems to me, that certain players deem it a weakness to be gracious in defeat, rather than accept that your opponent out played you. I myself feel as though I am a "good loser", but I am also very aware of being a modest winner when I do win. As someone who plays decently, but is missing...

It would be amazing if one of the pool power houses i.e. APA, BCA, etc. Put on a little invitational tournament at Grand Central. If you just invited say the top 16/32 most entertaining players, played it on 2 or 4 tables over the course of a week it would create a massive amount of buzz at the...
