John Morra (born May 25, 1989) is a Canadian professional pool player. Morra has represented Canada at the World Cup of Pool on seven occasions, partnering Jason Klatt in 2011, 2012 and 2015, and Alex Pagulayan in 2013, 2014, 2017 and 2019. Morra is a multiple time champion on the Canadian 9-Ball pool tour.[1] He reached the quarter-finals of the 2010 World Pool Masters.[2] In 2018, Morra switched from playing right handed to left handed due to a shoulder injury. However, he still breaks with a right-handed stroke, as he is unable to generate the required amount of power breaking left-handed.[3]
Personal life
Morra began playing tournament pool in Toronto, Ontario, where his family moved to when he was ten years old.[4] Both his parents, Mario Morra and Anita McMahon, have played professional pool and snooker.
