Former pool prodigy Wu Jiaqing pockets richest first prize in cuesports history

azhousepro
Chinese ace Wu Jiaqing collected what is understood to be the richest prize in cuesports history last weekend when he won the 2026 Duya Legends Golden Nine International Tour Global Finals title. Wu defeated compatriot Zheng Xiaohuai 140-82 in the final in Beijing to scoop the jackpot of 10 million Chinese Yuan; this equates to over £1.1 million/$1.4 million, although this is before tax is removed. Sanctioned by the World Pool-Billiards Association, the tournament was branded by organisers as the ‘Pinnacle of World Competition’ and played to ‘Golden Nine’ rules. This cuesport discipline is essentially 9-ball pool played on a […]

In 2004, subject to check, Keith McCready and Ryan McCreesh were en route from New England at a Joss NE 9-ball Tour event to DC. They stopped off at the Golden Cue in NYC to garner up some action. Ginky was in the house, and Keith started barking at him. The two of them had known each other for many years, and Ginky was getting a kick out of it. Ginky decided to grab Nick as his partner and play Keith and Ryan one-pocket with a spot. Keith agreed to the spot. Nobody knew who Nick was, well, except Ginky and the house. And Nick could play.

It was over in minutes, but the barkfest was the most fun for Ginky and the rest of the regulars at Golden Cue. Here's a few photos.

Even Nick couldn't help but smile at Keith's persuasive antics to get in action.

Yes, talked to Ken first and he rarely has them, Brunswick said they dont sell them anymore and don't have any. I need the whole thing but I can find aftermarket pockets, and can build a ball box if needed. What I need most are the Gullys.

No parts..So much for Brunswicks lifetime warranty if something had to be replaced. Can you find someone to custom fabricate the gully's. Can a gutter type PVC be improvised?

My buddies..their parents always give us the freedom to play, grow up together. We did stuff but not wild or destructive. Funniest thing was when we were around 14 and hung out at the chicks house in their basement. One mother would keep yelling down the steps.. I want to hear talking... it better not get too quiet down there. Loved it😂

Come on….get real…..at 14 years old, there is social peer pressure and lack of prior experience being responsible for the actions of her party guests that are also juveniles. She is a young teen that wants to mingle and have fun with her friends and it seems unrealistic to expect she’s be able to supervise and monitor the actions and behavior of her guests and still have a fun time. She’d more likely behave like a classroom monitor constantly checking and watching everyone to ensure she doesn’t disappoint her dad. It wouldn’t be a party and become more of a baby sitting of her friends which turns into a chore. Hang a remote camera so you can check on them & monitor a location pretty distant from your house.

What up Bava?
I’m not trying to bag on ya’. I’ve read your posts for a long time and value your opinion.

I get what you’re saying about peer pressure and mingling. I think it’s natural for kids to want to be part of the group, but it can be uncomfortable to be the focus of attention. They just want to blend in and feel they belong without risk. Do you think that we should encourage our kids to avoid uncomfortable situations where their voice might not be echoed by the herd?

I have to heartily disagree with you in regards to the surveillance thing. Although I know that is where the world is going and we all have to assume we are being recorded at all times. If I think about all the dumb shit I did that could have been caught on camera, give’em a little wiggle room to rise to the occasion.
