    Mosconi/Reyes/WPM rankings

    Sure sounds like someone who deserved to be on the team the last several years, let alone be the captain of that team…

    Kaci, pro pool and prize money

    This sounds like a chicken or the egg situation. Does pool not have real stars because the players aren’t engaging enough or is it because people don’t care enough about pool to know who the top guys are? My money is on the latter.

    Kaci, pro pool and prize money

    This is not the reason. The number 1 reason is that there is far more competition for people’s attention now than there was ~50 years ago when things like pool, bowling, etc were booming. And the simple truth is that pool hasn’t shown that it’s compelling enough to demand a large portion of the...

    WPA Women’s 10-Ball World Championship

    Great mental toughness from Margaret in the final. I guess that’s why they say opposites attract…

    WNT Florida Open 2026, August 4-9, Orlando, Caribe Royale

    Lots of no shows / unfilled spots for a major.

    WNT Florida Open 2026, August 4-9, Orlando, Caribe Royale

    Fedor is going to the APA nationals to do challenge matches, sign autographs, and promote his brand.

    WNT Florida Open: New Cloth Color?

    I think it’s dumb but it is what it is at this point. Emily and Matchroom are a known commodity at this point so wacky changes for the sake of change don’t surprise me anymore. Nothing is off limits to them it seems. And for those saying this is a marketing ploy and that it’s working because...

    Gold Crown 7 Revealed

    Seyberts has them listed for $8,500. Sure there’s going to be delivery/install charges but I imagine you’re in a similar boat with the gold crown.

    Gold Crown 7 Revealed

    5 grand more for a GC7 over a diamond is insane.

    9-Ball needs to be fixed

    Saw this picture on Reddit earlier. This is the position of the cue ball and 2 ball for every rack from the SVB/Gorst match overlaid on top of each other. Obviously the 1 ball isn’t shown on this graphic but even if you assume it was made 100% of the time, this graphic shows that players...

    SVB v. Fedor Gorst

    I like SVB here. Lately I think Fedor’s focus has been on using his name to sell pool products instead of on the practice table because he hasn’t been having the tournament results we’ve come to expect from him.

    Sofia Mast "retiring?" The state of American pool

    There’s maybe only 5-10 men I’d suggest pursue a professional pool career over a traditional one let alone a female player. If you have the means and ability to make a comfortable living in a traditional career, you should do that 99.9 times out of 100. I think this is a really smart decision...

    Do You Think Professional Pool Players Should Be Paid In Crypto Or Cash?

    I think they should be paid in jelly beans. Is some tournament trying to pay them in crypto or are we just discussing our stream of consciousness?

    The long decline of ESPN

    ESPN has declined for 3 major reasons, two of which you accurately pointed out already: 1. Reduction of on air talent and sports journalists 2. Rise of argumentative-based programming that feature loud-mouths like Stephen A Smith instead of guests that can provide intelligent analysis 3. Mass...

    Johnny Archer finally pays off Oscar Dominguez

    The internet can finally rest now that someone they don’t know got paid for something that happened like 10 years ago… phew, what a relief

    Why doesn't Aramith do a better job with proof of authenticity with their packaging?

    Amazon co-mingles inventory so people selling legit inventory and those selling fakes have their products stored in the same pile in the warehouse. So even if you buy a product from a legit seller on Amazon, you could still wind up with fake goods.

    Dynasphere becomes the official ball set for Matchroom WNT - Multi-year partnership

    It comes with 2 cueballs - 1 with the WNT logo and 1 without. They should ditch the WNT cueball in favor of the “bumblebee” 9ball and a normal 9ball that matches the other stripes. They did something similar back in their cyclops days when they released the 20-piece Ladin set that included 2...

    Dynaspheres and WNT Launch Major Partnership as the New Balls of the Tour

    Color debate aside, that cueball is garbage.

    Getting the Mosconi Cup Skinny from Captain Johan

    Johann seems like an actual professional so it’s not that surprising he’d be interviewed by someone like Panozzo who’s also a professional in his field. Molina Mike is just a guy with a microphone on Facebook. He doesn’t have anywhere near the credibility or qualifications of Panozzo.
