Yes I played Roberto Gomez and I played several others at practicedid you play any pro?
Wow, Dave, that's amazing and impressive. Well done, young man.I know I'm living in the past, but during the 1993 nationals I miraculously won a preliminary match agaist Sang Lee to help propel me to the finals. I have the original score sheet from that match (below) and a set of 3c balls used during that tourney. These are my prize 3c memories and items. (Thank you to my friend Jake Jacobs for the score sheet)!

I also cherish my Allen Gilbert book that Larry posted and Mister 100 that I got from mr3cushion.

Got to wonder where all the money is coming from and if it can last. Attendance and viewership probably aren't paying the bills.
If Saudi Arabia thinks pool events cost too much money, the Chinese govt, if it is involved, will eventually draw the same conclusion. Chinese teams used to pay big money to attract foreign soccer players, but they have cut back a lot.
Have you tried? To get an answer you have to figure out how to get the question in front of them. Then if you don't get an answer you have something to kvetch about.Why would you think emailing USBA would get me an answer?
I also love watching Chua playHe won $50,000 at a Duya event he finished first in during the spring.
I'll miss him on the WNT tour. He is one of my two favorite players to watch, but I will check out the Duya tournament.
I think Chua left social media in part after he was accused of cheating (wax on the ball). Really outraged him.
He also just opened up his own pool hall and retail-pool equipment shop (with money earned on the WNT). Busy life, plus he has a few kids.
Chua is playing at the Formosa Open this week. Top prize is $15,000. Ko brothers playing, too.
No word on if Chua will show up at the US Open. One of Matchroom's promos in July showed Chua, and two different promos showed Ko Pin Yi.
Given the tournament's prestige and $100,000 prize fund - not to mention $50,000 for second place and $25,000 for semifinalsts - I would not be surprised if they all attend.
I look at the shot line,When walking up to your shot, do you utilize just one side of your body for the aiming?
Or do you use both sides?
I use my r/s for aiming and l/s for my shot feel.
He won $50,000 at a Duya event he finished first in during the spring.Chua is more focused on providing for his family and he makes more money in Chinese pool with less expenses on WNT.
He also dropped all his social media activities.
Can’t really blame him.
