Interesting video from the Ko Bros on playing with waxed balls vs normal balls. Much of the information as to how to deal with it is similar to Niels Feijen’s video on how to play on new cloth, but it’s still interesting. I can’t entirely understand the translation of the comments section...

Scott and JJ repeatedly talked about certain players having “soft hands”, letting them hold the CB or make certain shots. I mean I get that hitting the ball softly and with a good stroke is helpful, but what exactly are they talking about? Is it a specific technique like an extra loose back...

A friend of mine asked me if I’ve ever heard of anyone playing with a Kielwood or torrefied snooker shaft. I hadn’t, and a Google search showed no answers. This doesn’t shock me, given how traditional most snooker players are with regard to their cues (great majority using ash, a few maple and...

So Jeff De Luna just had another “you didn’t call it” moment. What a tool. Hopefully Mika will haunt his dreams tonight. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1HQdTbz3eZ/?mibextid=wwXIfr

My buddy just asked me the following: “what's your advice for playing against someone really slow? my adhd makes me lose interest and focus really fast watching slow players” Now I don’t have ADHD and I’m fairly slow myself, so I’m not the best person to give advice. Anyone here have...

Interesting situation in the final rack of the WPA women’s eight ball championships. Kelly Fisher is kicking at the six ball. If I’ve done it right, the video goes to the correct time. If not, fast-forward to one hour and 23 minutes. Clearly, Kelly hits the rail first and then the six ball...

In the thread on “fixing” 9b, there is some discussion on 10b, call shot and also 10 ball last. Often times people think 10b must be a call shot game, as if that was always the game. Of course the Filipinos play 10b just like 9b with an extra ball, which I recalled was the original version...

Nice post from John on his finally hitting 800 Fargo. With his wrong hand! Nice to see pros look at milestones like this too.

So I saw this on Fargo. Does anyone have details on this? Did Mike Page make a profile of young Fedor for analysis purposes? If so, what years?

Many of you know Pt109, Paul Thornley, Canadian pool legend and Alex Pagulayan’s mentor and forum regular. Alex just sent an email as follows: “After suffering two devastating strokes, Paul is now bedridden, paralyzed on his right side, and requires full-time care. While awaiting long-term...

For those on Facebook, here is an interesting snooker video on why there is always a double kiss when the balls are lined up straight in. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/18GRDV1jhV/?mibextid=wwXIfr

I was reading some discussions under one of the “International 8b” referee videos and someone complained that the UK version of 8b was around first and the Americans messed it up. That sent me to Wikipedia which said the American version evolved in the early 1900s and that the English version...

So this just came up on my Facebook feed. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1A8J7UDZzi/?mibextid=wwXIfr I know the ruling is that the ball that doesn’t stay down isn’t considered pocketed. My question is why? I mean if the pocket was full and he shot it anyway then I guess I can see that the...

Apologies if this has been covered before. In the WPA 10b doubles the issue of a player pulling balls out of the pocket before the CB stops moving came up again. This is not a case where the moving CB touches one of the balls; rather, the rule apparently is that it is a foul to take the balls...

In the new revisions of the WPA rules, they made it clear that a player can take their break at between any racks (regardless of who’s break is next). Apologies if this has been discussed before, but what is the thinking behind that change. I much prefer the old practice that you can only take...

I know we have debated this type of use before at pool, but here is Kyren Wilson using it in his semifinal against Bingham. I didn’t see that portion of the match but gather there was no debate about it.

At the Super Billiards Expo a few years ago I picked up what I thought was a rubber wrap (that one rolls on and off a cue). The vendor who sold it to me said he had some for the three-cushion event down there. It eventually tore, and I bought a new one online, but it was much thicker and I...

In case anyone didn't know. Looks great. https://www.tsn.ca/tsn-originals/video/tsn-original-my-way-the-rise-of-cliff-thorburn-trailer~1438642

Snuuker posted in the Live section, but in case you missed it, Alex Pagulayan and John Morra (playing lefty) are playing live now. Canadian 10-Ball Championship. A-Side finals. Race to 10 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CanadianBil...5635006866405/ Youtube...

Sorry if this has been covered before - I tried searching but didn't come across anything recent. Now that the Diamond Professional comes with the same style legs as the Pro-Am, is there any real difference between the Pro and the Pro-Am? Someone from Diamond at the DCC said the only...
