Thank You for the Great narration. Speed control for example. Overhead look at the table. Would like to see more player Q-ball cue tip contact shots from over the players shoulder. Each player has their own style. Always great to see. At 70 and playing daily. the sport intreags me after all these years.

[@everythingbobbywolfe]

No offense to Mary, but Jean balukas was the women's pioneer. Notice the women Champs never bring up her name. That's because she was so good, she was beating men. Look her up. She was frighteningly good. The women, more or less, conspired to kick her off. Look up her comment that got her fined and she eventually told the wpba to fuck themselves. They hated her because she was a freak. A prodigy that actually grew into her talent.

[@janetairlines1351]

What was the comment?

[@lukaszha8826]

There doesn’t have to just be one pioneer.

[@everythingbobbywolfe]

​@@janetairlines1351she snapped at the referee because her opponent kept hitting 9's on the break and said "...I don't mind losing to skill, but not luck" She was pissed because the racking and positioning was favoring 9 ball movement directly in on the break. I know if you are off a bit, you can make a nine readily. The comment is heard on the KZbin video and the other women complained to the league. She was fined and refused to pay. Her sponsors and others pleaded with her to let them pay it, but she refused. Wasn't the first time they complained about her, but it was about how she was so good, they didn't feel it was fair for her to play. It started to play on her mentally and she would be off from time to time, but noticeably being mentally bothered and not hampered by abilities. She was playing on the men's circuit and I believe reached the top 10. Ridiculous even in this day. She was giving mizerak and mosconi runs for their money. Fischer is the closest female player I've ever seen that is even close to Jean.

[@bobbyjojo]

At 58:45, LoreeJon stroked sideways causing here to add left English to the ball, causing the cueball to hit the nine thinner than she was lined up for. I have this bad habit also.

[@sylvainwilcox]

I'm interested, too. It's being discussed here: forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?p=6366481

[@slamandjam2]

can someone explain to me what the deal is with the paper diamond that they lift up after each break?

[@kome1102]

That’s “Magic rack”

[@schwartzenheimer1]

It's thin plastic (Mylar), and has holes punched in it where the balls should be located for a tight rack. Since it's thin, it doesn't significantly interfere with balls rolling, and insures an accurate rack for both players, regardless of the condition of the cloth around the spot.

[@monerz1]

Many players now use multiple piece cues. Some have 4 or 5 pieces to them. This allows flexibility. Some even use a masse' shot on the break in order to confuse opponents.

[@Maaldi78VG]

great match!!!

[@bg24955]

It would be nice that if broadcaster could label each ball with their respective number. Hard to engage the game if the viewer doesn’t know the next shot. ( if you are snooker player, you know what I’m talking about)

[@dougie1968]

It's a scandal Allison Fisher has never won the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award. Her achievements in Snooker and Pool are phenomenal and yet she's been completely ignored. No doubt the BBC have decided no matter how brilliant you are at your chosen sport if you don't fit into their highly politicised, biased parameters, you won't get a nomination. Not many women have won the award, but the ones that have were clearly nominated by agenda not sporting achievements. Can you believe Zara Phillips won it in 2006 because she managed against all odds to fluke winning a horsing event. No doubt the BBC jumped at the chance to sycophantically suck up to the royal family that year.

WPBA and no 9-ball rack? Lol.

[@quintas66]

The accu-rack definitely affected the position of the 9 ball on the first break. Those things are just a money-making gimmick and do nothing for the game.

[@wombra8314]

Kevin Cowell true it did. but it provides a consistent rack at most tourneys that don't have a ref for every table, and solves allll the other issues that can arise when the players are either racking for themselves, or the opponent, with the triangle. i like a quality triangle too, so i hear ya though.

[@wombra8314]

and u can buy knockoffs for $2.50 for ten on ebay, that do 8, 9 and ten ball racks, and are not cloth, like this accu rack.,.,and the balls need to be barely rolling to be affected by it, as they are super thin plastic.

[@monerz1]

@@mejeremyb In 9 ball you should always break very softly in order to try to place the cue ball behind one of the 15 solid colored red balls. This is known as a "combination shot". If your opponent cannot make a shot they are given the option of re-breaking the balls or being penalized a point. 9 ball was invented in Philadelphia in 1709. Today it is enjoyed in over 15 countries.

EastTexan But they should get the same pay as top men pool players, just like the women's soccer team. Are you kidding me?

[@easttexan2933]

No they shouldn't just because they are women. If they want the same money then the tournaments should be "open" to both genders. But we both know that ain't gonna happen. The LPGA doesn't pay the same purses as the PGA because nobody comes to see the women play compared to the men. It's called a "return on your investment".
