I wonder who backed Manas to be in the team. He's not the best even among PH players, let alone Ko brothers and some CN 9who could boost the viewership by thousands)

this game of One Pocket by Ivan Lunda is the best possible, IMO. Just absolutely NUTS

I had a Lucasi, played good and at the same price had far better design than any basic USA-born cue at par price. I still think that is a very good present to a beginner player - good looking and can be changed a year later when he understands the game and his feelings better.

Got Predator Air II recently. Do not recommend. Could compare it directly with Air II made some years ago (maybe 5 or so) and the shaft wood is clearly changed. Mine is too soft for a good jumper. It jumps, tho. But I'd rather advice to get some cheaper wood.

One thing that helped me a lot is finishing the stroke with the cue tip touching the cloth. On any shot, not only the draw. It naturally requires all the action for a smooth stroke - a nice follow thru and a natural elbow drop with a relaxed grip. Solved my many troubles

Danny Basavich - Does anyone have a WPC video of his only (suppose) appearance there in early 2000 years? It was a monumental, as he was stroking and concentrating for 2:45 before an ordinary shot.

Begin with this video. It is the simpliest advice to follow to play better in tournaments, and for me it worked. Niels is good.

My first cue stick was a Viking V39 priced at $150—a modest step above the range's base model, the V40, which was only ten dollars cheaper. But I wasn't foolish enough to purchase the very cheapest. The acquisition was nothing less than a medical necessity: struck down by the pool virus, I spent...

Very right. But personally, I want at least one familiar guy - to pull for the dark horse guy against him, the usual winner ) In poker, you have 6 to 9 guys at the table, and there is always this pro vs newcomers balance. It comes naturally, maybe that the game is better balanced itself. In...

Hey folks, I have another thought about the pocket sizes and the overall difficulty of pool. It seems there's a consensus forming that we need to reach a "sufficient" level of difficulty, to achieve a balance. Here's my point about that balance: the game is unbalanced when the World Championship...

Analogies work both ways man ) There are many sports where level rise year to year, and winning conditions change accordingly. You don't win figure skating at the Olympics without a couple quadruple jumps. Or in gymnastics without new elements. The level is growing, the demands are growing -...

In Favor of Tighter Pockets for More Exciting Nine-ball Matches As someone who watches a lot of billiards on YouTube, I'd like to argue for tighter pockets. With forgiving tables, a Nine-ball game after the break can be fast-forwarded through—what’s the thrill in watching a sure runout? The...

Hello friends! I couldn't find a single decent review of an interesting cue shaft for breaking: Pechauer Black Ice. If anyone has tried it, please share your experiences. Also, a broader question: this shaft is 2 ounces heavier due to a special manufacturing process. Is it convenient or...

Higher standards: John McDonald of Matchroom announсed "Francisco Busta-RRRRRR-mante!!!"... cewl.

U'd better say it's very unusual. I know one amateur player here in Moscow that have one cue for russian billiards and for pool as well. He's changing only small butts for better weight. It's very similar approach: this cue is made with "butterflu splice" tech, but by another cuemaker. It hits...

This cue made to play pool by russian standards. I mean standards of russian pyramid billiards, where most of the pro play with spliced like butterfly cues. This, I think, make them act like "spring". Besides, U don't need ideal single peace of wood... In the end, that's tradition. Evgeny's cue...

GL to you and Keith! Great reports. thanx a lot. Can U (or anyone else) tell me how's Stalev going?

who won in the end???

It'd hard to interpret "prevail" other way ;) JAM, thanx a lot for reports. Unfortunately, it's the only peace of actual info. So it's priceless, U know.

He's also very good at OnePocket. I'm surprised he prefered US open to DCC. But sure he can live in USA till January, if his game's well. He rarely plays pool here in Russia. In Russian Cup final lately he won over Stepanov 9-3 with no single mistake.
