These two guys were scheduled to play a big money 8 Ball match next month on a bar table with same handicap 15 games going to 100 :eek:

Be interesting to see if it still happens after this :shrug:

He can't play right handed anymore, it's a medical/physical issue. He can break and play power shots right handed but has to play left handed if he wants to continue playing pool.

I understand that, but is there no way he could adjust his stance right handed to offset the physical problems his left eye dominance is causing?

It is a shame in some ways. Right handed it is basically a toss up between morra and Bergman, but he looks to be a 30 game underdog left handed

THIS is why we use shot clocks on almost all televised competitions. It should become the norm for streaming matches as well.

Pretty sure switching to left handed is changing his stance to offset the physical problems his left eye dominance causes. Plenty of champions are / were severely cross dominant (Buddy Hall, Cisero, Mosconi, Shaw...) It’s the way he cranks his neck to get into that stance. So maybe there is a right-handed solution for him.

Going to a doctor might have helped. Two years when asked, he said he hadn’t seen one. yet. It could be something simple, and it could be something serious.
