Mosconi Cup 2022

by Melissa Bennett | November 04, 2022

Shortly after last year's Mosconi Cup ended, it has become evident that the Americans are ready to play but not ready for the event. The missed balls and failure to capitalize on opportunities have continued a recent trend with American Mosconi Cup performances. Many of the matches fit a familiar pattern.

Team USA struggles to find five players that can compete on an international level, while Team Europe struggles to narrow its list of quality players down to only five. The USA has instructors and a few industry-supported associations, but very little to get serious players to the next level. That shouldn't come as a surprise, considering pool and billiards in America is a fractured industry with a culture that really doesn't support its professional players.

Team USA also faces pressure in the need to market themselves at a game that desperately needs to become more outwardly exciting but individual players have often failed to elevate their performance when most needed.

"When you play the Mosconi Cup the biggest factor is the pressure," said Shane Van Boening. "Usually when I play other tournaments I don't feel much pressure. Just play my normal game. But when you have the crowds and TV and your family, it's a totally different atmosphere."

Team USA player Oscar Dominguez talks about his 2022 Mosconi Cup journey: Listen to the Podcast.

Dominguez returns after being "severely warned" by officials over comments he made in his 2017 Mosconi Cup appearance, with many European fans suggesting that he should be banned from the event for life.

Skyler Woodward said that fatigue from playing numerous events leading up to the Mosconi Cup often contributes to Team USA's routinely poor performance.

Jayson Shaw of Team Europe says he "can't wait" to rile up American fans. Shaw comes into the Mosconi Cup as a two-time MVP, claiming the crown in the last two editions of the transatlantic tussle between Europe and the USA.

Fedor Gorst has enjoyed great success in 2022, but has been ineligible to participate.

Alex Lely, who has a lot of experience coaching Team Europe, said "It's been tough the last few times we've played in Las Vegas. I know it will be amazing. I have great memories".

Team Europe currently leads the annual transatlantic 9-ball pool event 14-13 ahead of this year's event.

The 2022 Mosconi Cup will be live on Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland as well as on DAZN in the USA, Canada, Spain, and Italy and on Viaplay in Scandinavia, the Baltics, the Netherlands, and Poland.

Elevate Your Game: The 8 Best Pool Cues for Advanced Players

Welcome, billiards aficionados! Whether you're a competitive player aiming to sharpen your skills or a passionate enthusiast looking to refine your game, selecting the right cue is paramount. This guide is dedicated to helping you find the best pool cues for advanced players, ensuring that your equipment matches your expertise.

Understanding the significance of a high-quality cue can dramatically impact your performance. A professional pool cue offers precision, consistency, and the confidence needed to execute those challenging shots flawlessly. Before we unveil our top picks, let's explore what makes a cue stand out for an advanced player.

How to Choose the Best Pool Cues for Advanced Players?

Choosing a pool cue isn't just about aesthetics; it's about finding a tool that complements your playing style and maximizes your skill set. Here are some key factors to consider:

Weight and Balance: The perfect balance and weight can enhance your control and accuracy. Most advanced players prefer cues that allow for adjustments to fine-tune their game.

Cue Tip: The tip's density and material affect your shots' precision and spin. Soft tips offer more spin but less control, while hard tips provide more power but are more challenging to use for intricate spins.

Material and Construction: High-quality materials like Canadian maple or exotic woods can offer better feel and longevity. Additionally, the construction technique (e.g., inlays, wraps) can also affect grip and shock absorption.

Taper: The taper of the cue affects how it feels during the stroke. A pro taper provides a consistent feel, which many advanced players prefer for its predictability.

Joint: The type of joint (where the cue splits) affects the hit's feel. A smoother joint offers consistent performance, crucial for players who rely on precision.

Armed with this knowledge, here are the eight best pool cues for advanced players, catering to a variety of playing styles and preferences.

1. Predator Sport2 Ice

With its sleek design and unparalleled technology, the Predator Sport2 Ice stands out. Its innovative low-deflection shaft and comfortable grip make it a favorite among professionals seeking precision and power.

2. Meucci HP3 Blue Cue

Meucci cues are known for their unique craftsmanship and the HP3 Blue Cue is no exception. It offers incredible power without sacrificing on finesse, suitable for those who prefer a softer touch.

3. McDermott G-Series

The G-Series embodies McDermott's commitment to excellence with its custom inlays and high-impact resin wrap. It's a great choice for players who value both aesthetics and performance.

4. Lucasi Custom L-2000JB-1 Jump Break Cue

Lucasi's hybrid technology combines a solid maple butt for stability with a Bakelite tip for explosive breaks, making it an excellent choice for players who excel in both strategic play and powerful breaks.

5. Viking A231

Renowned for its VIKORE performance shaft, the Viking A231 offers exceptional control and accuracy. Its meticulous design and superior craftsmanship make it a top choice for serious players.

6. Cuetec Cynergy SVB Gen One

Developed in collaboration with Shane Van Boening, this cue features carbon fiber technology for unrivaled precision and power. Its durability and low-deflection capabilities make it ideal for competitive play.

7. Fury NR Series

Designed with professional specifications, the Fury NR series cues provide outstanding balance and a smooth stroke. They're a great option for players who appreciate intricate designs and superior functionality.

8. Players Technology Series HXT15

Offering superb value, the HXT15 incorporates advanced technology to reduce deflection and increase power. It's a smart choice for players seeking professional-grade features without breaking the bank.

Conclusion

Selecting the perfect cue is a personal journey. While our list of the best pool cues for advanced players offers a starting point, ultimately, your unique playing style and preferences will guide your choice. Remember, a good pool cue isn't just a piece of equipment; it's an extension of your skill and passion for the game.

Whether you choose the cutting-edge technology of the Predator Sport2 Ice or the classic craftsmanship of the Meucci HP3 Blue Cue, ensure your selection enhances your performance and love for billiards. Here's to elevating your game to unprecedented heights!

Dennis Orcollo - Huyền thoại của Billiards từ làng ngư dân Mangagoy

Dennis Orcollo, còn được gọi là "Đại ma vương" của billiards, là một tên tuổi nổi tiếng trong thế giới này. Hãy cùng tìm hiểu về cuộc hành trình và thành công của ông trong bộ môn này. Dennis Orcollo được mệnh danh là “Vua đánh độ” của Philippines Hậu phương nghèo khó Dennis Orcollo sinh ra và lớn lên tại làng ngư dân Mangagoy, nơi mà cuộc sống không dễ dàng. Ông là thành viên trong một gia đình có 4 anh em trai, và sau khi mất cha từ khi còn rất nhỏ, ông sống cùng mẹ và ông nội. Trong thời thơ ấu khó khăn, Dennis Orcollo chỉ có chiếc bàn billiards cũ của ông nội và ba người anh em làm bạn đồng hành. Đã từ khi mới 8 tuổi, billiards đã trở thành niềm đam mê và đam mê đó đã đi sâu vào tâm hồn ông. Với hoàn cảnh gia đình khó khăn và niềm đam mê với billiards, Dennis Orcollo đã đưa ra quyết định đầy dũng cảm: bỏ học sau khi học xong lớp 3 để tập trung hoàn toàn vào bộ môn mà ông yêu thích. Hành trình đến với billiards Khi chỉ mới 15 tuổi, Dennis Orcollo quyết định rời bỏ nhà để theo đuổi đam mê billiards của mình. Ông đã trải qua những ngày tháng đầy gian khổ ở thị trấn Mount Diwalwal trước khi quyết định đến Manila để "tầm sư học đạo" huyền thoại của billiards, Efren Reyes. Tại đây, Orcollo không chỉ học hỏi những đường cơ và động tác của Reyes mà còn được xem là "người kế thừa" về khả năng "đánh độ" của huyền thoại này. Năm 2002, Dennis Orcollo đã bước ra khỏi vùng đất Philippines để tham gia WPA World Nine-ball Championship và đã tạo nên sự bất ngờ khi đánh bại nhà vô địch Ralf Souquet với tỷ số 9-8 ở vòng 64. Tuy đã để thua trước "người thầy" Efren Reyes ở vòng 32, nhưng đó thực sự là bước đầu tiên của Orcollo trên đấu trường quốc tế. Thành công và vinh quang Trải qua những năm tháng đầy khó khăn và đau đớn, Dennis Orcollo không ngừng nỗ lực và rèn luyện. Năm 2006, ông giành chức vô địch tại các giải đấu Reno Open và Hard Times Nine-ball Tournament. Đặc biệt, Orcollo là cơ thủ duy nhất đến từ Philippines tham gia giải vô địch billiards lỗ thế giới World Straight Pool Championship. Trong năm này, ông cũng giành chức vô địch The World Pool League sau khi đánh bại Niels Feijen với tỷ số 7-5 trong trận chung kết. Năm 2007, Dennis Orcollo đã vào trận chung kết WPA World Eight-ball Championship và dù chỉ đứng thứ nhì sau Ronnie Alcano, nhưng ông đã ghi dấu ấn mạnh mẽ trong sự nghiệp của mình. Năm 2011, Orcollo giành danh hiệu Vô địch billiards 8 bi tại giải đấu WPA World Eight-ball sau khi đánh bại Niels Feijen với tỷ số 10-3 trong trận chung kết. Cùng năm, ông lên ngôi số 1 trên bảng xếp hạng của Liên đoàn Billiards Pool thế giới và được vinh danh là “Cơ thủ của năm”. Năm 2013, Dennis Orcollo cùng đồng đội Van Lee Corteza tiếp tục ghi danh vào lịch sử khi đánh bại đội Hà Lan (Niels Feijen và Nick Van den Berg) trong trận chung kết Pool 9 bi – World Cup of Pool với tỷ số 10-8, tại London, Anh. Orcollo và Van Lee Corteza trở thành bộ đôi thứ 3 của Philippines giành ngôi vô địch thế giới đôi nam Pool 9 bi, sau Efren Reyes và Francisco Bustamante vào năm 2006 & 2009. Những thử thách và thành tựu đỉnh cao Tuy nhiên, cuộc hành trình của Dennis Orcollo không phải lúc nào cũng mịa mai và thành công. Năm 2014, ông đứng thứ 16 trên thế giới theo bảng xếp hạng WPA, và đó là một thử thách lớn đối với ông. Năm 2016, Orcollo đã có chiến thắng đáng nhớ khi đánh bại Shane Van Boening với tỷ số 200–121 để giành chức vô địch US Open Straight Pool Championship. Đây là một trong những thành tựu đáng tự hào nhất trong sự nghiệp của ông, bởi giải đấu này đã không tổ chức trong 16 năm trước đó. Vào năm 2020, Dennis Orcollo chính thức được gọi là "Vua đánh độ” khi giành chiến thắng 120–119 trước Shane Van Boening trong giải đấu Pool 9 bi, thể thức 1 vs 1 kéo dài 3 ngày, tổ chức tại Bill's Bar and Billiards ở Thành phố Oklahoma. Tuy nhiên, đến 1/2022, Orcollo đã bị chính phủ Hoa Kỳ trục xuất do quá hạn lưu trú. Theo đó, ông đã bị cấm quay trở lại Hoa Kỳ trong 5 năm, đồng nghĩa với việc không thể góp mặt tại các giải đấu Billiards được tổ chức tại xứ sở cờ hoa.   Bida Top – nơi tập luyện bida chuyên nghiệp và thỏa mãn đam mê của các tay cơ.

Shane Van Boening and the changing world of professional pool

Shane Van Boening and the changing world of professional pool

You’d expect a 600-year-old sport to have played through its identity crisis. Not the case for pool. The sport’s very name comes from pooling money to determine odds. And wagering lends pool mystique; hustling and pool go together like a cue stick and chalk. But that’s as much a curse as a blessing. How can a sport thrive at the highest level, when so much of it exists in the shadows? Well, here…

INTERVIEW WITH Cristian Surdea 

MAIN MOTIVATION ?

Pure passion for the game. I play pool since 2009 - and every single session of practice makes me discover something new,

- Becoming a professional is the main motivation, that's why I follow pool - and when I play well the feeling is priceless - I can play no matter the name of my opponent. 

TYPE OF MENTAL PREPARATION ?

I studied a clinic with world class player NIELS FEIJEN (Mental Game was the topic) - Try to stay positive no matter the pressure that comes during the match. It's important to also be calm and sharp in order to take the right shot selection during a match. 

HOW DID YOU REACT TO THE DEFEAT OR VICTORY?

I sometimes show my feelings at the table during the match, complain to myself after a bad shot, after getting unlucky and like that. But always respect my opponent, never have bad reaction. To win against world class players is amazing, I have a lot of nice memories like that, but also lost few times HILL HILL or super close scores and have to take them, accept and move forward. A true champion will build inside everyone if will know to manage defeats first. Most important in sports - you are analyzing the process - NOT THE IMMEDIATE RESULT. 

RITUAL?

Few minutes of practice before the match. Relaxed arm and confident stroke in order to enter the match well warmed-up. 

ONE MUSIC ?

Robbie Williams - I love my life  ----    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4ggyO-OFXU 

ONE MESSAGE ?

Train hard, never quit! 

AN IDOL ?

Simona Halep - example of persevearance and determination; 

Shane van Boening - fantastic player and character.

I share the same date of birth with SVB - July 14th  - but I am 8 years younger than him. 

FEAR OR FAILURE WHEN SHOOT ?

Often happens to me. It's because I still don't play constant amount of 6-8 hours per day. Still have some small technique issues as I started playing without having a coach and learned by myself and helped by local players. Over the years improved that after going to training clinics and studying the game with Darren Appleton, Alex Lely and Niels Feijen. 

BOOK YOU LIKE ABOUT BILLIARD ?

Ronnie O'Sullivan - RUNNING 

HAPPY MOMENT ABOUT BILLIARD?

When I first played outside Romania - it was 2011 Open de Paris - where I beat WORLD POOL MASTER - RAJ HUNDAL from India. At that time did not know exactly who he is, was impressed when I came home and found out he was partner with RONNIE O'SULLIVAN in World Cup of Pool for England and all the other stuff. 

AND SAD MOMENT ?

Last year in Bucharest I gambled a set against SVB - my idol. We played a race to 9. I was 2-7 behind, came back fantastic to go 8-7 ON THE HILL, than he broke and run and at HILL HILL we played a crazy safety battle and I finally lost.

Another cruel one I lived in 2014 in Poland against Mateusz Sniegocki when in QF of Polish Open I was leading 5-1 in a race to 7. It was for getting a medal there. Mateusz managed to comeback and won 7-5, will never forget some silly 10-Ball missed there. HAHAHAHAHA . . . 

A DREAM TO BE REALIZED ?

Represent Romania one day at the World Cup of Pool. 

WHAT CUE, TIP AND CHALK YOU USE?

Mezz Ace-187 cue with Alpha Hybrid shaft;

Break cue: MEZZ POWER BREAK KAI - by far the best ever break cue.

Glove and Chalk - Molinari. 

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT ?

FEAR - It kills us everyday if we accept it; 

FAILURE - Only someone who does not work or does not try does not fail; it is normal. The motto is to always try again fail better and finally conquer what you want. 

LOVE - The most important thing in life. 

DEATH - The end of this beautiful journey called life. Important to prepare our souls for that, because the mind will never stop fearing it. Faith should guide ourselves to not fear death anymore and understand it better. 

FRIENDSHIP - Life is great if you have a few close friends, count on someone 24/7 is important. It gives you that awesome feeling of sharing unique moments with those very few that stay around for years and years. Those persons are forever. 

COVID 19 - Test of faith for all the people around the world. For some of the professional pool players - the best period to train hard - stay disciplined - stay fit. To be honest, I never played so much pool as hours/day until this period came. 

8-BALL / 9-BALL / 10-BALL - Will always choose 8-Ball - as will always remember my debut at EC 8-Ball - winning in 8-Ball discipline against former world champion Daryl Peach from England. 

YOUR FUTURE - I'd love becoming a professional athlete in the game of pool - playing US OPEN and other WORLD EVENTS. I have already started doing some coaching in my hometown. Would love to own a Billiard Hall and help other young players improve faster than I did. For me that would be the most important thing - to be able to give something back. As a player at my age(28), I will keep fighting forever, think I can play until 60 at least. In another order, just continuing the process., but at the highest possible level. 

SUCCESS - "Set goals and crush them!" - learned from the coaching clinic with Niels Feijen. 

MONEY - There is a saying: If you love money, you never gonna have them.

USA ARE PARTYPOKER MOSCONI CUP CHAMPIONS

TEAM USA 11-8 TEAM EUROPE

Billy Thorpe 5–3 Jayson Shaw Tyler Styer 1-5 Eklent Kaci Shane van Boening 5-3 Alex Kazakis Skyler Woodward 5-3 Joshua Filler

Team USA retained the partypoker Mosconi Cup with an 11-8 success over Team Europe on Thanksgiving at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino Convention Center, Las Vegas, live on Sky Sports and DAZN.

The American side, aiming to repeat their win in London last year, began the final day with an 8-7 lead and made an early statement of intent as Billy Thorpe beat Jayson Shaw, the decisive moment coming in the seventh as Shaw punched the 3-ball to the top pocket but saw it rattle the draw, allowing Thorpe to take the rack and run out for victory in the next.

Eklent Kaci hit back in style for Europe, defeating Tyler Styer 5-1. Momentum swung back to the home side when Shane van Boening defeated Alexander Kazakis 5-3, taking America to the partypoker Mosconi Cup hill at 10-8.

Next up was Joshua Filler for Europe, with many expecting him to narrow the deficit. But Skyler Woodward relished the occasion and was celebrating with the crowd on their feet before he had even played the 5/9 combination for a 5-3 victory which sealed the cup and his own second successive Most Valuable Player title.

“Today I came out focussed, ready to play and I had a feeling I would be playing Filler,” said Woodward, who earns an invite to March’s World Pool Masters as MVP. “From the beginning I said I wanted to play Filler.

“I wouldn’t rather have a different team. We lost eight in a row but we won two in a row. This is the best team we could have and we are all good friends. I wouldn’t rather have anybody else backing me up than these guys.”

Thorpe added: “I knew I was going up against one of their best players, Jayson like Josh has so much firepower. I knew I had to come out, stay swinging and not let up on my stroke. We will be ready next year to defend the trophy. We will all be ready to go overseas and make it three years in a row.”

Justin Bergman, who would have faced Niels Feijen had Europe won another point, said: “I was ready to play but I told the guys to finish them off. I didn’t think I was going to play because I believed in them but I was ready if I was needed. This is the best team I have ever been on so I had a good feeling all week.”

van Boening said: “It was 2009 the last time we won a Mosconi Cup at home, and without all the fans’ supporting we wouldn’t be here. This group is probably the best team I have ever played with. We have a great friendship, great chemistry and it is an unbelievable team.

Styer said: “This team has such a good balance, we all get along and there is no better group to do it than this. Johan has been getting us up early, doing everything together, and we are brothers now.

Coach Johan Ruijsink commented: “We had great support. Happy Thanksgiving! This was by far the hardest one to win. They had a great side, it is hard to be in America with all the pressure of winning last time. Last year was 9-6 on the last day but this time was 8-7 but we had a good line-up, came out strong and it was a good win.

“Last year was a bit of a surprise to Europe and we caught them off guard. This year they were prepared and we had extra pressure. This year was about handling the pressure, being in Vegas with all of its distractions and we came through. Every year will be a great fight every single year.

“I couldn’t have done this without Jeremy Jones. We are a great team. He is the perfect connection between me and the players and he has been in this arena as a player, which I haven’t.”

European captain Marcus Chamat said: “We came here to USA ten days ago. We have stuck together for the whole ten days, we came here as a team and we will leave here as a team. We stood beside each other the whole time and I am really proud of this team. Things weren’t going our way and Joshua put up some great performances. Without him it wouldn’t be 11-8.

“I want to thank all the fans, American and European fans, who have helped make this amazing event. The American players put in an amazing performance.”
