The End of an Era?

April 1st, 2008 by poolcuereview

In a move that continues to send shockwaves through the industry, this morning Shane Van Boening announced his retirement from professional pool. As one of the hot up and coming players on the pro circuit, Van Boening was simply steamrolling everyone. His latest victory came during last month’s Super Billiards Expo where he defeated Shaun Wilkie 13-7 to take home a cash prize of $10,000.

Van Boening didn’t give a reason for this decision leaving his fans and pool players everywhere scratching their collective heads at this move. As the heir apparent to the billiards throne, Van Boening appears to be walking away from a career that could net him millions in prize money and endorsements…

April Fools!!!!!!!!!!!!
