Enjoy our amazing talk with Jakub Koniar from Slovakia who impressed so many because of his strong performance at the recent Matchroom events. Being a part-time Pool Player he still is considered as a professional by us, although he would definetly deny this. We talked about how he got into Pool, his experiences during the Matchroom events and what he expects from the his future in Pool considering that he will become a father this Autumn! 

Enjoy our talk with the super-professional, nice and humble Tony Robles introducing us into his new life in Florida, his time in New York, about his Predator ProAm Tour and his recommendations for us players. I cannot express my gratitude towards him spending time with us and sharing his wisdom.

Enjoy our beautiful conversation with Danny, one of the greats of the sport - especially in Straight Pool. We talk about his beginnings, the beauty and struggle with the game, about John Schmidts high-run, him as a person and what he suggests for us normal players. To me this talk was very special, because not only is Danny a very kind and nice person - I now understand why others refer to him as their mentor, their Yoda! 

In this Episode we welcome Kristina Tkach and we focus on the mental side of the game since she is one of the most succesful players and one of the most mentally strong players in my opinion. We start off talking about her as a person, then highlighting what makes ourselfs and our head strong when playing and include technical and training aspects towards the end of the Podcast. Enjoy this talk to one of the smartest and finest personalities in Professional Pool - at least to me!

In this episode we talk with Max Eberle about his path into Pool, how he experienced his start into becoming a Professional Player, his approach on teaching students, what hinders us normal players to become better and what he has in mind for the future! Go check out his Pro Pool Academy as well as his Book Zen Pool - both worth spending your time on!

The Straight Pool Special Podcast Edition. In this Episode we welcome Michael Yednak, a well respected Straight Pool Player now living in New York. We talk about high-runs, how to achieve them, what prevents us from achieving our goals, his mentors, the different people the game attracts, break shots, the mental side of the game, Amsterdam Billiards, the Straight Pool scene in New York and much more! It has been an honor for us, and for sure we talk with Michael again. And maybe, we can infect you with the Straight Pool virus as well...

Enjoy!

GERMAN LANGUAGE EDITION

Ralf will noch einmal Weltmeister werden, am liebsten im 10 Ball. Warum er Joshua Filler so schätzt, wie er seinen Beginn im Billiardsport erlebt hat, warum die World Games 2009 sein Schönstes Billiard Profi Sporterlebnis war, wie er als Privatmann so tickt und was er uns Spielern aller Altersgruppen rät... über all das durften wir mit ihm sprechen, und es war uns nicht nur ein Vergnügen, sondern es hat uns auch motiviert, wieder mehr in uns selbst zu investieren.

Wir hoffen, dass auch ihr dieses Gespräch so genießt wie wir es getan haben.
Viel Vergnügen.

The only Pool Player I know who broke his wrist whily playing, how having a black belt in Judo helped him to become so succesful, what Ken Block and Travis Pastrana have in common with him and why you have to be damn to good to save him in a game of Pool. He talks about the influence of Ralph Eckert and his time in Austria and Germany, his work heading the APA league in Las Vegas, his experience doing Trickshot Shows and his new deal with Cuetec. 
To me, this talk was so inspiring because it motivated me to open up my horizon, to use some of what Venom does to become a better Pool Player.

Enjoy!

Fedor Gorst talks about how he motivates himself, why he played so bad in the 2019 Treviso Eurotour (spoiler: fun story!), the impact of his coach Johan Ruysink, his training with Kristina Tkatch and others, his time on the road in the United States and how he won his first ever Bar-table tournament, assuming anyway, it´s too easy not to win (spoiler: also a funny story!).
Listen to his suggestions for us league players, which we find, are super helpful.
Although he says from himself he is not the smartest person on the planet, he speaks very wise words!

Enjoy!
