SVB is in the easier half of the draw, but I wouldn't have wanted Corteza right out of the gate.

Trying to find out who won the recent Iron City tournament for the men held before the WPBA event. Also interested in payouts. Thanks in advance

Let's start out with the obvious. Matchroom is the best thing to happen to professional pool EVER. With that said, Matchroom started this conflict when they decided to go out on their own, ignore the WPA, and schedule events on top of other "dedicated" event dates. Matchroom, by doing so, are...

I agree that there are a lot of reasons. i am not saying that reducing the pocket size is the only reason. I am saying that is just ANOTHER reason, if there were a revival of interest by young people to want to play this sport we love, where are they going to get the training and equipment...

4 inch pockets, in my opinion, might be the final nail in the coffin for American players being able to compete with the rest of the world. While Asia and European nations have youth programs and training at a young age, American players have pool rooms or home tables. Pool rooms have enough...

There has been much discussion about the small pockets at the UK Open, and we also had the problem at Derby City where there were a lot of unexpected misses blamed on pocket size. I would like to hear some more opinions, and primarily I would like to express my own. There are certain things that...

Very disappointing that Fedor's visa problem reared its ugly head again. Would have been a fan's delight to see him matching up with not only Ruiz but the other top names on the European tour. I guess we'll just have to debate who's the best, and we won't get to see who is best. It would be...

Someone correct me if I’m wrong (which I’m sure they will). Concerning who is the better player, when Ruiz won the World 9ball, Gorst was banned. Kind of waters down the title when the main competition is banned. When Ruiz won the 8 ball with Gorst in the field, Gorst had primarily been playing...

I had a great time, as always. Hope you did too. Hopefully Diamond will find the right answer, whatever it might be

Yes sir, I was there, watching 4 and 5 hour one pocket matches.

I have seen a few comments about cutting the 9ball tournament to race to 7. The problem is not the length of nine ball matches. The problem is the length of one pocket matches. Address that and the problem is solved. I don't know all the details of what Mr. Jewett suggested, but it sounds like...

Someone explain why the World Championship is scheduled one day after the Derby? Did someone's brain fall out?

Anybody know why he isn’t at the US Open?

Be interesting to see what their record is against each other.

Yes, I have. I’ve also noticed one or two players that can move the cueball much easier with Carbon Fiber shafts as opposed to wood. Of course, you have to have a good stroke to do it

Regarding Thomas Engert’s 491 ball run, I referred to it as on a Diamond because I had read that somewhere, so you very well may be correct that it was not. I also read it was on 4.5 inch pockets, but would like for someone in the know to verify both the pocket size and the type of table...

Anyone know the pocket specs when Thomas Engert ran 491 on a Diamond? If they were standard pockets, that’s probably the greatest exhibition run ever.

Thank you for the response. I noted there had been exceptions for the Chinese, and I am including the Taiwan players. Cheng’s Victory at the US Open being one, and JL Chang’s Winston the International plus the Derby 10 ball. Other than those I could not recall any, so thanks for the update. The...

I stated an opinion that the Derby City Master of theTable was the hardest title in pool to win, knowing not many would agree. I was wondering what title would be more difficult? I base my argument on the fact that each of the 3 disciplines requires that the Master of the Table is solid in all...
