    Shane Van Boening playing with extension why??

    Reflections on performance

    Just got back late last night from the 2017 VA state 10-ball. I had a great time although the end result was disappointing. Every time I go to a pool tournament I like to reflect back and learn something valuable. This is just some of my observations. I heard Earl Strickland once describe high...

    Hit em soft

    The existence of a women division in some tournaments

    Women can and some do play in men's/open events. I don't think men are permitted to play in women's events. I think men overall play better but I've never really understood why.
