I feel ya, I was scratching in the side all the time, so I got this table and I haven't scratched in the side since then.

Aside from joint, taper, tip diameter, if everything was equal, weight, tip diameter, deflection, balance, taper, are there other performance factors that needs to be considered?

For some reason PMs are not working for me. I recently had my old account merged with a newer one and assume this is why, but I’ve submitted a request to find out.

Some people will ask everyone, try everything until they hear what they want to hear.

I might look into a new table also. I can’t make a ball on the break in 1p or straight.

I doubt it. There is a limit on foreign participation, for one thing. They would only want the biggest names, too. Filler, Gorst, Yapp. Most Chinese fans are unfamiliar with top foreign players.

China is also far away and players would have to spend a lot of time there.

China will attract other Asian players. Not many Western players will set up shop there.

That rack by Shane was nuts. Missed entirely. Cue ball bounced off the long rail and cracked into the rack, but just barely. Looked like a one-pocket rack, and it did no favors for Kazakis.
