All true, but, I'd still prefer him on the MC team than the other picks. Europe is many countries, Asia is many countries, I see no reason why we can't have all The Americas, Canada, and Mexico, just saying... LOL

9 ball rack is all about the gaps. Learn to read the gaps and then you know where to break from, especially on a bar table.

Really like the young Mr. Pongers. Don't believe he's reached his true gear yet, kid could have a very special game.

Very sad to hear this, I have and still use to this day one of his cues. Total accident how it came to me, but, ever since the very first hit, I knew I'm not letting this one go.... RIP.

I had one for a few years. Well made cue. It's not really a negative, more of a preference, the butt on mine was a little too thick for me, other than that had no complaints.

no particular order... SVB Alex Dennis Busty Toss up Tony or Bergman Seems many have forgotten about Dennis. I imagine when he is allowed back to the US, he'll play as good or if not better considering he's only been playing in and around East Asia for the most part. When he left, the whole...

I think you are right: Changing the rules year on year because someone put the work in more than others, which translates to he / she actually EARNED it, is complete garbage. Simple everyone gets a trophy teaching another generation "oh don't worry boo boo, we'll make it easier for you so you...

I think this is exactly correct along with Jay's post above it. It's so sad that "good enough" is not just about pool, it's part of the US culture for at least the last couple generations. The pass down of knowledge and understanding of hard work just isn't here anymore. To make matters worse...

Watched the Texas Open, and, have no complaints. Great event. So, not sure if this has been discussed, but, here goes... Majority of the audience for pool matches are likely pool players. Generally from what I can decern is that commentators watch the table and players from some vantage point...

It was said that the templet used, Gorst had a hand in its design... only makes sense how successful he was with it. The only way I'd watch them again is if they brought back the old wooden rack.

Hope he dropped the cry baby attitude, but, I doubt it!

5.5" pockets maybe????? :oops::ROFLMAO:;)

Yup, But I wasn't there to see it. Had a type-o in my previous post, should've been "saw" and not "say"...

6 games 9 - ball 6 games 8 - ball something like 64 balls in straight pool. I remember low 60s, because my buddy followed it up with a 96 ball run... just couldn't let me enjoy for long... lol love ya J!

I watched Jamie Farrell (not sure spelling) do 15 racks of 9-ball on one of his tight pocket gold crowns about 20 years ago at The Corner Pocket. Pretty sure that's the most I've seen in person. Back in Vegas 2007, saw Dennis and SVB play a 0 inning, race to 15, 8 ball, alternate break, 7'...

no not at all. An aiming system is a tool, same as the diamonds on the table. It’s not the magical answer. Cue sports require straight stroke, repeatable stroke, and timing, timing meaning a consistent hit on the cue ball during the follow through so that there is less concern that you are or...

Chinese table, really... He's calling out pool players who play on pool tables. I'm sure there's someone in China who'll play him on that weird felt table, LOL, this just woofing across the lake seeing if anything will fly. No time for this... Now... in all actuality, I'm not sure if Dennis is...

Very nice class!

This is a very good post! The true greats have the ability to overcome whatever conditions that are there. Pocket billiards does not require the gift of speed to run the 100m or other physical gifts. The equipment is important. All of the greats throughout time have common abilities, the...

I believe this is mostly correct. I do not believe that, a Mosconi for example, would dominate today. Two main reasons here, there are many times over the number a great players today than back then, who really dominates today, remember what this word means...Filler, Fedor, SVB, Albin, Ko's...
