My Grandson took second place in the National Junior 9-ball Pool Tournament in Las Vegas this past weekend. He played 8 games on Saturday and 50 on Sunday. Pretty grueling schedule.
The International Tournament in Johannesburg, South Africa is in December. Remains to be seen if he'll be going. Be kinda pricy.

Good for him! I love 9 ball. 50 games in one day. Wow! Good luck to him. I hope he can make it to Africa. He must be a great player because the competition is so fierce. Peace.

Thanks for the comment, guys. Actually, two years ago, Tyler, my Grandson, played in the International Tournament in Poland. He came out of that one ranked 17th in the World. He was 16 years old.

KUDDOS to the lad.
I tried to pay pool, lots of soldiers loved to play. Funny though when ever I tried my stick was warped or something, Never could get the balls to roll where I wanted them. weird.

Kinda like golf I suppose, Someone asked me "What's your handicap" I said Talent@!

GOOD LUCK to the lad. Hope he makes it to the big show!

That's great! Is it true that in Poland they use square balls so that they don't roll off the table?
