Who is K. Juszczyszyn?

[westcoast]

I see that he won the Gotham City tournament and beat some great players in doing so. Who is this guy? I've never heard of him before

 

[BeiberLvr]

He's the new flavor of the week in 9 ball

But I'm sure he's a great player

We've got 15 Eurotour events for him over the last few years as well as China Open and World 9-Ball in Qatar.

Poland very strong at the top for a country with about the population of Canada

He won undefeated 73-44

Shaun Wilkie 10-7
Alex Kazakis 10-3
Karl Boyes 10-2
Orcullo 10-8
Mike Dechaine 10-9
Kevin Cheng 10-9
Kevin Cheng 13-6

And these are not small fries that he beat
His fargo was 751 before this so will be big jump after this

The 751 was after most of these were in. The last two matches got him to 756

Does it matter that he was playing call shot/call safe instead of slop/luck 9 ball?

 

[Mr. Bond]

Someone please tell me how to pronounce his last name lol

If you type out his name on Youtube, you'll be able to see him play a couple of matches.

I grew up around a family with the last name kolodziejczak - "ko-jay-jack" that simple...

The thing with Polish last names is that they can defy all logical phonetic break downs. It's kinda like "2+2 now equals 3.14159"

Krzyzewski = "sha-sheski". Picture that.

Juszczyszyn = Jush-tin-zin in English pronunciation.

Probably will thankfully evolve to plain old Justin in pool venues, my guess.

There is more pool life beyond USA. You should know Poland is probably one of the biggest pool country in the world. I think top 20 Poland players are stronger than any USA player except top 5 USA. A Mosconi Poland vs USA would be very interesting

 

[Mr. Bond]

Jush tin zin ick of time!

Are you shure it's not joozhtinzin?

Didn't seem to matter. I can count all the shots I think he missed throughout the entire weekend on one hand.

Someone please tell me how to pronounce his last name lol

I'll save you guys some time. From now on, he is "The Juice."

I agree it would be good if many US fans expanded their horizons
I agree Poland is unusually strong for its population

But the last two sentences overstate the case a bit
