Blink and you could miss him.
Ronnie The Rocket vs Mark Allen.

Probably requires a prescription but the one match is worth the price of entry.
I flash back to my first up close observation of the professional pool in the 80s. Started in 84 or 5 (I think). The last lake Tahoe event. Then once a year for the late 80s.
I certainly didn't mind the daily entry fees.

is there any expected release date at this time? I am anxious

These Chinese players are lucky that SVB, Fedor and Bergman don't enter these events.

I think the 80's belong to Hopkins. RA was done, Efren became the MAN in the 90's and forward. Grady, Joyner and Cornbread did not have his firepower running balls. Certainly Varner could compete at a very high level but Hopkins IMO reigned supreme back then.

Yep. He was voted by his peers at the time in Billiards Digest in 1991 as the top one pocket player for a reason.

Here’s an interesting read when Hopkins gets inducted into the BCa Hall of Fame:

Is it still going on? Is it being televised?

I’m in Wuxi right now.

I’ve seen soooo many 650s and 550s announce they’re going for it and are gonna be pros. None of them made it. The only kid who made it always used to say he quit pool, he doesn’t shoot much anymore but his fargo kept going up and out of nowhere he was flying somewhere and winning real tourneys. He’s still only 740ish nowhere near 800 speed. Every current over 800 player was shooting 650 speed by 15 years old. This youtuber is just shooting content but I wish him luck. An over 800 can give a 650 the 3 out, he’s got a long way to go.

I like the veeners colors

But heavier cue will make the arm tired faster and hurt the break over a long session.

everyone can improve vastly by hard work. but unless you have the best eye hand co ordination needed for that sport you can never ever get near or to the top rung of the ladder.

for all of those its just a pipe dream.

He reminds me of that guy who makes thought provoking analytical videos on a variety of subjects.
