Pool Ball Collecting.

Absolutely, J13.

All constructive criticism welcome and gratefully received, sir.

As Wolverine has already mentioned, those empty coloured boxes will eventually feature additional photographs of balls, boxes, and any other related items to the sets in question. I chose to post a few unfinished cards on the thread in the hope of getting some feedback… exactly like yours, dear chap.

I take on board your comment about previous cards being cleaner and easier to read, sir. I was very keen to include more detailed information on these updated versions, which I felt was lacking in earlier cards.

Alas, the impact of my recent contributions has suffered quite a lot from compression pixelation… rendering everything a bit fuzzy and blurred, especially the text. I will definitely address this problem and fathom a way to display the original high resolution image.

Sincere thanks again. 🙏

Konrad Juszczyszyn wins the first Predator Pol Tour of the year! Tournament at Strefa Diamond Gdansk ends in a record-breaking success

azhousepro
The inauguration of this year’s Grand Prix of Poland Predator Pol Tour in Gdańsk is officially behind us. As it turned out, this opening 10-ball tournament—held for the first time at the Strefa Diamond club—delivered a historic result: for the first time in his career, Konrad Juszczyszyn (Royal Bytom) has won a Grand Prix Polski cycle event. This is a particularly interesting milestone, as Juszczyszyn has already won a vast amount in his billiards journey so far. We are talking about a European Champion, a World Championship medalist, a World Cup winner, and a multiple-time Polish Champion. Despite his many […]

I use a modified method i'll call the 'Shuffett/Johnson'. I like starting at a CTE line-up and then i just see the double distance deal from there. If i play a lot its all automatic, if not playing it gets kinda mechanical for a while.

Starting with a CTE line-up makes sense - it's the center alignment for all shots and easily seen; a good starting place. I don't do it, but I get it.

I read through the website and it seems I’ve already missed the opportunity to play or even get VIP seating at the tv table. So it looks like I’m stuck with general admission and wandering around

Any advice? Insight? Etc is greatly appreciated.

General admission works fine. Go to the registration desk (you can't fail to find this - it's by the entrance to the main hall). Pay $15 and you get a wristband. You can then go and watch any games you want all day long - including the tables and money room upstairs.

The main TV table (where they play Bigfoot for the first few days and the final rounds of the other games) has VIP seats. They have the name of the person who purchased them on the back. If you sit in an empty one just be ready to quickly and politely move out of it if the person turns up.

Unless you are the world's most fussy eater then the food is fine. Link showing what they have:

Prices will obviously be dearer than some place someone knows over the river in Louisville - but they aren't over-the-top extortionate. Domestic beer was around $4 a bottle last year. Again - not that outrageous nowadays.

Good poker room and sportsbook if you need a quick break from pool.

Tons of vendors selling anything from a 10 grand cue to a 25c piece of chalk. Blackburn cue maintenance are on site if you need anything doing.

Enjoy. It's a great event to see some of the world's greatest players out there in the wild.
