I have won more playing poker than pool.
The former you don't have to be the best, if you can bluff.
You can't bluff playing pool....the ball goes in or it don't.

Friday night fiights s is an ongoing scotch doubles tournament. After this week, they'll be down to the final 8

Hello, Mr M.

Baseball sets are a classic for sure… definitely one of the ‘must haves’ in anyone’s collection.

The boccette balls are also a wonderful acquisition in my view, dear chap. Although considering myself a Raschig enthusiast I don’t have that beautiful set in my collection, simply because I decided to concentrate on 2 and 1/4 inch balls in an attempt to keep my addiction in check.

From what I have seen the carom and bocce balls don’t quite command the lofty valuations of their pool-sized cousins, but that could just be within the collecting communities familiar to me.

Thank you for sharing, sir.

yea, the ko brothers have a big advantage. not only the geographical distance from taiwan but also that they're chinese and can capitalize on social media there etc. would be interesting to see the odds

Another set I received, are these Raschig Boccette balls.





I found one dent sadly, but otherwise they look quite good. Need to clean them still.



Could anybody help me with more informations or maybe even a valuation of them? I searched a bit, but not much infos on Boccette balls to be found by Raschig. I am not sure is this is anything special, or just nobody plays it, hence not really sought after (instead of being rare)…

Simply put, it feels like when a pool player loses $5 it's waaaay worse than one poker hand losing 5.

I received some Aramith Premium today. They have a few bigger dents and scratches sadly, which I did not see in the pictures. But I got them quite cheap to be fair.



I wanted this set, to make a complete Baseball set. As I will not play them very much, I think I am ok with their quailty. They are just intended for a few fun games every now and then…



I still have some spare balls left. I think this might be Aramith as well, so maybe I switch for better versions on some of the balls, if I have them.

they live close and are used to the culture deal. very few non-asian players will go there on a regular basis. like i said they'll cherry pick the big events.

My original post specifically referred to more Asian players going to China. Like you, I do not expect lots of non-Asians to fly to these events.
