I'll tell you exactly why. If you played on these tables with these balls, you'd want a light cue to, it's the easiest way to consistently hit soft enough.

I always used a 15 or 16 playing on bar tables.

Nope, I’m right there with you. The other thing I HATE, is the blasting stupidly loud music in some pool room / bars.. Studies have shown folks consume more alcohol when the music is blasting.
That’s all they care about is selling booze…
Stopped going to several places in NC. Blasting music, blasting led lights GTFO!

Yep.. because selling booze as you put it has a high profit margin and they are a business who needs to make money. So selling “booze” is important. Here in pa a liquor license to sell “booze” will cost you over 400k so you better bet that if I own a bar or pool hall that sells it I’m going to be pushing “booze”

I've said before that my ideal pool hall would have good blues music playing in the background, but soft enough you can talk over it and good bbq cooking in the kitchen and classic old 9 foot tables with green cloth and Masters chalk

I am old school all the way....which should include smoking, but I hate that stench and it just killed my wife of 49 years.

I honestly was never bothered my smoking until places started going non smoking. Now when the rare occurrence that I play in a league or tournament at a private club that has smoking I want to set my clothes on fire when I get home lol I remember opening my cue case the next day after some of the really bad bars and the stench being horrible.

Why does Filler like such a light cue- 16 oz is very light

Great run these past 3 weeks from Aleksa. He has played some tremendous pool and showed some real heart in his comeback’s.

I witnessed a master cuegilist first hand and the proper way to wield it is to grasp it by the ferrule with two or three fingers and gracefully swing it around your head to a temple shot on the victim with the butt end.
No sweat, one shot, one kill.

He played in the Philippines Open last year. Lost to Bustamante. He’ll be there again. Then fly to Qatar for the Qatar Open a few days later.

I also expect Gorst to be on Team World at the Reyes Cup with SVB, FSR, Filler - not sure who the final pick would be.

Under current WNT policies, players have to play two “majors” to qualify for the Mosconi Cup or Reyes Cup. If Fedor skipped the European Open and UK Open (as I think he and Shane did) then they have to play US Open and Philippines Open to qualify.

So they are pretty much guaranteed to go play the Philippines Open, IMO.

For Team Europe in the Mosconi, FSR and Filler are guaranteed two of the three automatic spots.

Pecelj is a clear third. Szolnoki could surpass him by getting to the Philippines Open finals, assuming Pecelj got knocked out early. Grabe, Kledio Kaci or Neuhausen could get the third spot by winning it all in Manilla.
