high level compared to random club tournament in all countries. yes.

Club tourneys, or even bar tourneys like that can be a killer. It's difficult to keep one's stamina over 8-10-13 hours, with in many cases having 3-6 hour waits between matches and then having to walk up to the table cold while your opponent has been shooting for an hour coming out of the losers bracket (in a double elimination event). I think the last tourney I played in I won my first 3 matches in the winners side, sat for 2.5 - 3 hours, then discovered I had lost everything... my stroke, my nerve, my feel. It was actually then I knew it was time to stop playing tourneys and just enjoy practice and weekly league nights.

The only thing stopping a pool player playing at world class level into their 50s is motivation and physiccal fitness.

Hey Karl, any videos coming about the mental side of the game. How you coped with pressure during big games. Maybe throw in some footage of shots that you nailed or dogged under pressure in big games and explain what you were feeling and your thought process on the shots you were playing. Great videos so far.

Literally, one shot took the win. Karl is such a disappointment. I missed his days on the tour. Never saw him. He totally screwed us all by retiring. Box Office never hit his true potential. He never actually plateaued. There is still alot in the tank. Shaw is damned lucky Boyes got bored. Just one more year. JUST ONE MORE FU€KING YEAR... Karl would have been forever the people's champ. FOREVER!!! Instead, we are fortunate enuf to get to watch him on his channel. Retired World Class Pool, still beats top of the game amateurs. Well done sir!

You did awesome, karl and congrats with 2. place. Now ..what cue are you playing with here? I'm so used to see you shoot with your old and trusted Predator cue with a 314/2 shaft, and is genuinely interested in what your new weapon might be. I remember that you got a new setup from Predator before US Open a few years ago, but this was not that red Sang Lee with a Revo. Shoot em straight and stay safe. Cheers from Denmark. /Chris.

Well, you said it yourself that you quit because tour was in a bad spot, it was depressing etc. Obviously, you would agree that it's in much better shape now and hopefully it will only get better so the question is why don't you play again? Of course it takes a lot of practice and practice but no one can deny your talent. Besides that, you are going to all of the tournaments anyway so you can might as well play, maybe do something like they do in snooker, play until you're in and do the commentary and other things afterwards. Anyway, I doubt you need an advice from a stranger on KZread :D but don't tell that it didn't at least cross your mind couple of times, we all know that love for pool is eternal after you do your first screw back shot!
