Played last year -- the setup was lovely.

However, the days I was there it seemed poorly attended by spectators. And it was a one match a day slough. Anywhos, finished tied for 12th-18th in the 1pocket.

The Hall is again hosting SVB for a week of challenge matches, instruction, and seminars. June 22-28. The challenge matches are $125 for a race to 4, you pick the game. Spots are going fast. https://www.thehallmission.com/svb

Ooh, here's hoping The Hall posts some of the mic'd-up matches to YT. I enjoyed watching the ones they posted of the previous event even though I felt guilty seeing all the locals get destroyed haha

I'm guessing a import too, probably made by either KaoKao or KaoFa. Something about the sleeve looks off on the top one, the notched diamonds should be centered, cue may have been broken/fixed. AZ'r Joe Lolley used to sell his 'BamaCues' line that were very similar to these. They were very nice imports.

I think I have seen them both.

The first one is nice. I like it.

"High value" when you consider the work that goes into them.

If you're into a fancy cue and don't have much money it's an option.

Most people aren't terribly serious about pool and cues anyway, and honestly you could do well with a cue like that.

Why use the word "Professional" on the name of some of the events?

I suppose so as not to offend those involved with amateur (league) championships, but it doesn't make any sense unless they establish separate divisions of pro/am. I think many of those entered will not be professional pool players.

It's over 170 miles from San Diego. Almost a 3 hour drive. Why would a player fly into San Diego then drive 3 hours? Waste of time and money.

Has no one thought of taking the train?

The probably kept him out until then because nobody could bring themselves to vote for someone with a poke stroke like that! Every time I see him on video I’m shocked that it works so well.

I agree- it is amazing how much movement he could get on the cue ball with such a stroke- mind boggling

The Q City 9-Ball Tour came to a new venue this past weekend (Sat., Jun 20), Buster’s Bar & Billiards in Burlington, NC, which is within ‘striking’ (easy drive) distance from the five largest population centers in North Carolina and, one presumes, a lot of pool players. It’s about 100 miles NE of Charlotte (#1), 50 miles W of Raleigh (#2), 20 miles E of Greensboro (#3), 30 miles W of Durham (#4), and 45 minutes E of Winston-Salem (#5).
