3 and 5 look fine on my TV
Dry breaks and 9 ball breaks - but it's great to see the players giving the break a bit of welly finally after all these years - no snooker player would last a second out there now.

I just saw someone mention a good idea about getting a speed gun to measure the breaks. Who do you think is breaking hardest/fastest?

Wow...break causing a few problems and I like it!
Perfect timing for GB9 if they are thinking to follow suit.
Anybody else with thoughts ????

Nice article from Luke on the front page, with photos from JP, and full results and stats... http://www.pro9.co.uk/html/article.php?sid=2399I don't think we can discount the Americans just yet - if there's one thing they have proved over the years, it's that they've got a phenomenal strength of character, and every day starts completely fresh in the world of pool. Don't be surprised to see the Americans come back strong - Team Europe still need to stay on their toes, although I reckon we'll still win comfortably. -----------------  Authorised Pro9 forum advertiser/sponsor

The absence of Earl and Shane from the audience after their matches speaks volumes. The American in-fighting has begun, most probably due to Earl's inappropriate attempts at winding up Darren & Karl. It's a relative coast to victory for Europe from here on in. With perhaps a face saving few matches or so for USA. IMO! lol

 Here's a photo of around 40 players watching the Mosconi Cup Day 1 at the GB 9 Ball Tour - what a cracking atmosphere to watch pool together with so many pool players. I had to watch on Harharbar last night because the hotel doesn't have Sky - millions of pop-up adverts needing to be cleared all the time, but I managed to watch some great action. Is anyone feeling a little bit sorry for the Americans yet, or do you think this is long overdue payback for when they drilled us 12-1 ? [ This message was edited by: BigDave on 2013-12-04 05:35 ]

With the calibre of British players, I believe we could put a team of 5 out ourselves and wipe the floor with the Americans our any other country in the world!
