*THANKS FOR THE KEYBOARD TIPS!!*

Using the mouse is better

+Sharivari Most people hate the way he chalks. I chalk about a million different ways myself, so I can't say that it really bothers me personally. You hear this all the time though. I guess I'd rather chalk like Mike than miscue.

+Sharivari It works but seems to waste time. Slows his rhythm and messes up what would be a smooth tempo. He should really be chalking with the left hand at this level of play. Is it necessary to look at the tip every time. I bet it irritates his opponents also. Makes them sit even longer in chair. Some players seem to use this to their advantage though. I find it somewhat unsportsmanlike when players do it myself.

Mike chalks like Minnesota Fats did. I follow that model also. Fatty said "Like a lady putting on her lipstick".

LMAO! Me too. Annoys the shit out of me.

Sharivari it like he's afraid of it

Yea, except all the saliva mouth noises the old guy is making.

I have played against Svb and i lost 11-9 but i ran a 4 pack on him.

@@TheAudiophile81 nice man, got to see him play a few weeks ago it was sick

mmm mmm@@TheAudiophile81

Absolutely

They do now 😂

+Dareld Jolliffe I do it for center ball alignment and for a better end position on my practice stroke. I don't aim for the cue ball so I don't put my tip on the cue ball for my practice stroke. it's easier to explain in person.

+Cory Siler interesting, thanks. I line up and practice stroke in place. cueing like that that seems like it would be very easy to mess up any side English. it's also interesting that most players have seen do that stop doing it as soon as they have to raise the rear of the cue even a little. I am sure it's just another preference and feel part of the game, not for me that's for sure, but it obviously works for some.

I've seen people do the same thing lining up using the top of the ball.

Because you’ll be going level through the strike . It prevents you from topping it if anything.

It erks me especially on breaks

apparently they just forgot that shane was on 3 fouls. that what i think and what the commentators thought.

I can't watch Dennis Orcollo play without a shot clock. He plays as close to perfect pool as is possible, but it is terribly boring watching him think every single shot over

@@nickpatrick7021 I agree. Just watched him play in Dallas in a one pocket final. Race to 4 took 4 hours

Alex pay, Dennis orcullo n Bergman are glacial. Bergman likes to pump his cue and walk in circles. I am convinced he just wants us to stare at him for longer lol

NOT SO IN 2023

Victor De Los Santos ..... forgot the brand but it’s a special type of ferrule that I normally see on break cues only. It’s a reinforced break ferrule.... no idea why he has it . To each their own .

yeah you're right i thought the same when Ken started to explain what Shane did

And the announcers totally missed it.

Yes

+Christopher Dunlap I don't think it actually touches. Looks like the cue had some high on it to send it back forward.

Diamond table 3 1/2' x 7'

Cuetec, they sponsor him

Oh damnnnnn APPLY ICE DIRECTLY TO BURNNNNN

He is very talented. Do not talk rubbish!

+Greg Thatcher you are right, he called it but he was lucky, the way he intended it to be was missed, then cueball hit the 2ball again to the direction of the pocket... it's crazy some commentators know nothing about pool, they just do TD work and know nothing about the game.

+Erik Chahyana 7 ft table / bar table

+Javid Faekar 7 ft bar tables are a joke for pros. That's why i don't watch matches like these.

+blunty gagnon hold on, im searching for a fuck to give about your preference

Barbox

😂 short stop 😂 he is probably STILL the 2nd best player in the US. AND he doesn't really play anymore.

furtherbeyond yep. never realise that

Something has to hit a bank after contact. Either the cue ball or object ball.

Talmadge Fisher I know. the way he holds it in his hand it looks weird lol.

He acts as if he’s gods greatest gift to not only pool , but to mankind as well..... what a dipshit

I don't like the announcers either

andus garza yeah he has that wet voice and it is highly annoying

dont listen crybaby

abusiveFIRE ralf soquet

JasonSt professional pool player Jennifer barreta

he's always used cuetec

he's always used cuetec

Actually, I think before being signed by Cuetec he used a JOSS

His cue is a cue tech. Very reasonable They are one of his sponsors. All cue tech cues are under $300.00..

Jim Kane Lmao that isn’t true in the slightest

+abusiveFIRE THANK YOU!

abusiveFIRE who cares about mosconi? Its a team event . Usa players still assrape europen players in long races .. who brags about winning a short race team event ?

+abusiveFIRE lol 4 down and 9 % XD

4%* X'D !!!!

They can't say anything. It's the opponent's duty to keep track of the fouls and he's the only one that can give the warning. If he misses out on it it's his own fault.

+The Amurikin Thats true in case there isn't a tournament director or a referee, on the tables outside of TV table this is a true case also, but if a match is streamed on TV table then it should be different, TD & referee should step in, but in the end of the day, our game is a sad game, I love pool but its really a very sad game which is why there isnt much of a coverage in it, not much of a sponsors, no big money, no fame even, only people that plays pool know the players of pool, our game can never be famous, the reason being is small things like this, believe it or not, our game is really sad. go watch snooker, you think this would ever happen in snooker? think again, which is why they got audience, money, sponsors, big events and FAME, everybody even those that dont play snooker know ronnie osullivan, you think it's coincidence? no, its just our game is sad thats all. fuck i love pool but i hate its current state, alot of things should change.

Technically with the break it's still pretty random but at least i don't have to watch shane lose 50k because his opponent got lucky/ran 5 in a row without a response

SANCTUARY barbox pool is fun and challenging because of clusters

SANCTUARY I can beat a fair amount of my compatriots who play on 9 footers a lot of the time when we play on bar boxes. Bar boxes are a whole different game my friend. Easier to scratch, less room to move around, easier to hook yourself with a smaller margin for error. Although my long shots aren’t on par just yet, position play is much much easier for me when playing on 9 footers, 10 footers, snooker tables, etc.

@@plzitzjustmahcheezits909 absolutely not lol. It's a kids table. Yes its more congested but its easier to shoot your way out of bad position play. Youll see a players flaws accentuated on a 9 footer. The only drawback from playing from 9 to 7 is the slower cloth causes the trajectory of angles to change a little bit like almost like a cloth induced throw. It drags or goes long. But simply put the bar box is for kids. Unless im having a bad day i feel like i can't miss on the bar box and can run out 8 balls fairly easily. On the 9 footer its more like 6 balls before I get outta line. Them 2 feet really change the game

Bar boxes have their place. But it def feels goofy watching them play on that micro ass table. They cant miss. Its just cool watching them skill the cue ball control in the tighter spaces. But yeah 9 foot all day and if I had the chance id shoot on a 10 footer. Oh and I need the pockets to be MIRCO

I know this might be a little late. I see what your talking about how it moved forward. But that was because it dropped mid air forward he didn't touch it with cue stick nice spot tho

Fake af too. Only like 6 ppl are loud af and everyone else is quiet

@@mattyfuture Because its essentially the Ryder Cup of Pool

+thestcroixkid Never mind the magic rack, jump cues need to go the fck away. Jumping with a full cue, now that's a talent. Jump cues should be made illegal on tour as far as I'm concerned, and I'd like to see them ruled out internationally. My opinion is that there is no room in pool for them at all. Jump with a full cue, like a man would.

+dsauce223 I'm sure that you see that my comment has nothing to do with a short jump cue. Anyway, the magic rack effects ball roll and necessitates moving/lifting/adjusting balls, sometimes just because a player desires it, I have seen it used to cause disadvantage or create advantage. It, at best, is being used inappropriately. I disagree by the way, they already have really light (like 8-10oz.) full length cues made for jumping, I don't own one, but they are just as easy to jump with, if your manhood is at stake, go ahead and use one of those. My guess is you don't jump or don't use a jump cue. Do you mean they should jump with their playing cue? If so, in that line of thinking, they should ban break cues, its easier to break with them, too easy to break and make balls....

+thestcroixkid Well, it's ok that you disagree, that's not a crime. I understand what you mean with the magic rack, and I don't necessarily disagree. However, in terms of jump cues, a jump shot should be a fairly difficult shot to make most of the time. I don't think a break cue is a fair comparison because it is simply used for breaking, which has always been a legal shot and always will be. A jump shot is legal, but certain tips as well as certain lengths have been implemented in pool that in my opinion, make it too easy to accomplish what should be, again, a fairly difficult shot. To answer your question, I do jump rarely, in which case I use a full length house cue. Kicking at a ball should be a bigger part of the game, and that's all I'm really saying.

dsauce223 i agree . Even efren said jump cues have ruined the sport
