Korean player Choi making nice masse point and referee called it a foul. Caudron comes and talk little with Choi and makes random shot (3:02 to3:40, he has to try shot to not make unsportmanship foul)to give inning back to him. Caudron refuses to get advantage from referees bad call.

What was the issue here?

Shane would be in the MR camp, not the WPA. He only missed the Hanoi Open, as he had already committed to the WPA event before the Hanoi Open was scheduled. He played everything else MR since Emily came around.

Chuckles, here on the site, had something similar happen. He is pretty well known in the local pool scene and he had a player approach him with his first McDermott cue. I don't remember exactly where the guy told him he bought it from, but it had Chuck's name still engraved on the butt cap.

I think he sold the cue to Chuck for just what he paid for it. (< $200 )

I never liked the idea of having my name on the butt cap of a cue, but I do have to admit that having the chance to own your first cue again would be worth it.

This cue stopped being mine when I went broke in the pool room one night and gave it to the guy behind the counter for $100 loan.

I came back 2 days later with $100 to get my stick back and he informed me he had sold it.

Ow.

I have played with wood shafts from my introduction to pool the summer of ‘61.
Of course, initially it was because the cues I played with were one piece pool cues.
But I was just a young teenager and really had no other options at my age back then.

As soon as I could get my first two piece cue that was a Palmer, nothing changed in
terms of the shaft I played with that was maple and it’s remained that way ever since.
Kielwood shafts weren’t around until recently and I’ve learned these shafts play better.

If I had my druthers, all my shafts would be Kielwood as long as the shaft specs remain
the same. I found out that’s a bigger challenge than you’d imagine but it is important to
do for the best results. Try to replicate what you like & play with but in a Kielwood shaft.

skill probably 60-40 asia. Will never change, might even widen the gap in coming years.

Chemistry 90-10. Id give row another 4-5 years before they win their first.

Homecourt 100-0. Put this in vegas lets see how Asia responds to pressure. Playing in front of family and friends gives confidence,the opposite of pressure

Row has no chance at all

I don’t believe I’ve ever asserted my opinion is that of an expert. Also as usual, your point is unclear. Perhaps you should stick to the repetitive posting of “making pockets smaller solves everything”.

I don’t mean to come off as cavalier but how is this tournament considered a major? Am I the only one that finds it unusual that the have an “8 Ball World Championship” every year, but really no other pro 8 ball events to speak of? I mean pretty much 8 ball is a game that’s relegated to league players, drinkers out socially at a bar, and couples out on date night. It’s not a discipline I’ve ever seen shortstop and above rated players ever really be interested in.

Why does the table still look dry?

That blue thing is the cause. Where does the fart stain go?
