I wonder if Wu was this slow at age 16?

he was fairly fast. most of all he was ultra aggressive. by the time he played 2019 US open final he was more deliberate but still as aggressive

I can’t remember if it was snooker or pool that had a rule where the ref will deny a player’s request to clean the ball unless it was obviously dirty. The Chinese should adopt that rule here.

The constant ball cleaning is obnoxious for the viewer.

Also been some notable US runner ups. Appleton beat Shawn Putnam to win one.

In 2010, the year before Appleton beat Shawn 13-6, he beat Corey Deuel 15-13 in what may have been the most exciting U. S. Open final ever. IIRC the rule that year was that the player had to win by 2 games. That was the closest that any non-SVB or Fedor American has come to winning since Schmidt won in 2006.

Hardly any views on YouTube. Unless things changed recently, YouTube is banned in China. So the only people watching are in other countries.

how long is the shot clock? It can’t be very short.

Wu is tough to watch. He’s almost Souquet slow.

Well "Gambling " is a term often miss applied to heads up play.
Heads up playing is a contest of skill with luck factors.
Some people don't enjoy playing for money or stakes. Some have religious reasons. I respect that. A close friend that I would spar with after work didn't play for money. One after work visit to the tavern had me hearing a grumble as I passed a couple on the way to the restroom. The guys statement to his girl companion was, "this guy shoots so good but he won't gamble." His tone was derogatory, so on my return I cordially offered the opportunity to "gamble" on the adjacent and open table. Explaining that I like to gamble. He probably had a Grumble for the companion as they exited the bar. He didn't win a game. A real shame. He thought he could play.

I do believe both Wu and Zheng held the top FargoRate spot. Zheng only a month or 3. Wu at least a year or more.

Was long ago, but we always had to feed quarters into the tables for league play, whether home or away.

Also remember when one bar owner decided to limit league play to one table for two teams. The whole league revolted and no one spent any other money while playing there. That bar only lasted one season. Having to pay for games wasn't nearly as offensive as forcing us to spend an extra 1-1/2 hours.

Like I said any body that actually owns one likes it

Thanks Paul. Here is the rest of it and a couple others.







This one is 31” and he was used to playing with a carbon fiber with a black ferrule. He didn't like the white, so I switched it out later.
