He talked about the Million Dollar Challenge and confirmed that Earl got his money. There are a lot of one-off stories about that, but I’ll go with CJ’s version.

I have heard the CJ story, too.

In China, they use measure word for tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands etc.

So they would say 2 ten thousands, hence the comma placement 二万 = 二/2 and 万/tens of thousand (four zeroes)

Thanks for that. I couldn't get my head around how you'd say that.

I have a fancy Paul Mottey cue that has a couple of small dings in the butt.

I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with Proficient Billiards cue repair, and whether they would recommend them?

Nice posts.

Glad to see Richard is doing well. Richard and I go back to 1978.

CJ is a good dude, too, and I enjoy when he comes to HI. I have the cue he won the 1996 Million Dollar Challenge Tournament with. The tournament where Earl Strickland ran the 11 racks of 9-ball for a million dollars.

When did the Sands Regency in Reno and the US Open switch from the Gold Crown table to the Diamond table?

And yes, I know at times the Sands Regency tournament was played on the AMF Advantage table. Which, of course, was a Gold Crown copycat.

I believe the US Open switched starting in 2001 after Strickland defeated Okamura in the 2000 finals. But I'm not sure about the Reno tournament.

I used to go to the Sands Regency tournaments for many of the 20 years or so that it took place. I don't ever remember Diamond tables being used, I only remember Gold Crowns. I could be wrong but that's what I remember, Jay would know for sure.

Been watching him play since he was about 18. don't see any stroke differences. he hasn't changed because of his cue. his 'schon stroke' looks just like his 'cuetec stroke' to me.

I thought it was a Joss?
