yes, ursenbacher. we in scandinavia don't consider us continental europe. i think also both maflin and robin hull are english originally
Impressed by your snooker knowledge as I don't recall either of those players, but according to wikipedia Robin Hull has played in 3 world championships (knocked out in the first round every time). And Alex Ursenbacher has played in one(also being knocked out in the first round). Seems Robin Hull doesn't count as Finland is considered Northern Europe rather than continental Europe so I've learned three things todayI think I recall Robin Hull from Finland playing at the Crucible but could be mistaken.
And maybe Alex Ursenbacher?
Think continental Europe excludes islands so Malta wouldn't be considered continental Europe, though can't believe I never thought of Tony Drago when I was trying to think of non British European snooker players earlier.Tony Drago? If you consider Malta continental Europe.
Yes… a lot more then there seems to be now. There was a lot of venders this year compared to some past years but they were mostly selling the same stuff.Seemed there were a lot of cue makers there this year, and all the big custom resellers.
I've never been to an SBE, were there historically a bunch of smaller 2nd-hand cue dealers present?
I hear ya.. I would like to try something new like longoni cues but I just don’t want to get used to a different cue and I’ve been playing predator for 15 years at this point.I have been a loyal Predator user since I switched to low-deflection back in 2013. I started with a Z2 but it was too small - I have arthritis and greatly prefer a larger diameter so I switched to the 314-2. Eventually I had the 314-3 and Vantage before switching to CF with the REVO 12.9. A couple years ago I switched from Uniloc to Radial because the feel was noticeably better, but still REVO 12.9.
