WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP: 3-CUSHION: Wed., Sept. 23-Sun., Sept. 27, 2026: Blois, France: Link to live matches, results, and time table

Here's a little fact that might have escaped some. Nobody has been able to successfully defend the UMB world title since 1992! (Blomdahl, 1991 and 1992). It was contested in a series of 5 or 6 World Cups those years. The last one to defend the 3C title in one-week events was Raymond Ceulemans (1979 and 1980).

Cue ID help please

Bought this cue recently, but im struggling to find the original maker- any help is greatly appreciated

Taom V10

There is also TAOM V10 Snooker chalk that a slightly different color. Of all places, Walmart carried it and I bought 4 pieces for $11 each. Comes on its own plastic case and 3 of my pals bought the chalk from me. We all carry it as a backup in our pool cases. It seems to have a softer grit, IMO but it’s only for backup, along with my favorite chalk due to its cube shape, Pagulayan. Oval chalk is just a horrible design but V10 lasts so long I haven’t had to use a different
piece of chalk for 18 months. Gosh, what a bargain if and when you sparingly brush apply TAOM chalk to your cue tip.

Intentional Fouls - Illegal, Good Strategy, or Poor Sportsmanship?

Nope……I’d do it to him……in a friendly game for shits n’ giggles, I wouldn’t do that. No reason or incentive to do it.
Yet when the game matters, absolutely, I play to win, not to get compliments from my opponent it was a good game.
If you weren’t allowed to use that shot when it was critically needed, the rules would prohibit doing it but not the case.

But…….like Ralph Greenleaf supposedly replied to Willie Moscini over dinner one night about having the killer instinct,
when you shove a knife in your opponent’s heart, be sure you twist the blade. When the win matters, only the outcome
counts. There’s no sportsmanship points awarded for losing the gold medal or rationalizing that you really won the silver.
Good answer.

Intentional Fouls - Illegal, Good Strategy, or Poor Sportsmanship?

So, you would have no problem with an opponent using that tactic on you?
