Looks like Joe Rogan has been a member here for almost 20 years. 300+ posts, last logged in earlier this month

I wouldn't doubt it. Even in 2025, this is about as lively of a medium for pool banter as there is anywhere. It took me years to get "verified" so that I could even post on here - if not for that this place would be even more lively

She’s a big underdog to the top female players in the world (not sure I’d include Pia in that group just yet) but she’s rapidly improving, and I do think she could be a top player someday. Savannah might be the best American born female in the world – I think she plays better than April Larson...

Tom Cousins is very impressive

This is just flat ass incorrect. Savannah is a joy to watch – she plays loose and aggressive and is much less robotic than many of the top women in the world, but to pretend like she’s on another level is just disrespectful.

There's no doubt that guys like Moritz Neuheusen, Sanjin, Kledio, etc want to win this event real bad and it gives them a sliver of an edge over the SVBs and Shaws vs. what their talent would dictate.

It simply can’t be the case that there are both no good deals to be had buying cues and also that it is impossible to get a terrible price for a cue you’re looking to sell. The market for used cues is not very liquid, so if you want a good price you’ve got to be willing to wait for the right...

Anything less than hard and my girl won't let me hear the end of it

I think the right answer here is somewhere comfortably in between “Shane always gives maximum effort” and “Shane isn’t giving enough effort to warrant being asked back”. I don’t care what anyone says, this event is a grind – hell it is a grind to follow this event, much less to play in it. To...

We saw in the DCC how sensitive the break rules are to being figured out. Slightly wider break box, and Filler figured out he could make the wing ball and play shape on the 1-ball and it was curtains after that. Nobody has “broken” the existing 9 on the spot, narrow break box format that...

The Vietnamese duo appears to be headed for a combined 0-8, that's rough

Morning session is complete.

For those of us that weren’t watching pool when he was a righty, how did this transition happen? Did he take a year or two off from playing competitively to work on his game left handed? Was it a gradual transition where he was playing left and right handed for a while?

Impressive effort by Johnny to dig out of the 9-2 hole. Momentum is on his side now but I just don’t think he’s got the horsepower to beat LeeVann, who is just the superior player.

And Earl, however I still believe Earl plays >800 except for his break which is closer to 500 level than 800 level.

Is AJ Manas really 17? What is the list of players that have ever played comfortably >800 Fargo speed at that age? Filler and Gorst, anybody else?

Concern for me with Eklent Kaci would just be how many F’s is he going to give? Winning this event is a marathon and I don’t think a lot of short sets that, in a vacuum, don’t matter that much suit Kaci very well. Am excited to see the Kaci vs. Kaci match. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen Kledio...

Bold prediction: Kledio Kaci outperforms big bro

True, as I understand it though break rules were different from Matchroom standard, right?

Pretty self-explanatory – who do we think are the best 9-ball breakers today with the Matchroom format? I really don’t know who has a standout break in this format, but the first guys that come to mind for me are Filler, FSR, Ko Ping Chung, and Kaci. I know Shane is always lauded as having one...
