Here's a max play GCI during the Medina years in Denver, first shipment of I's in the state.
I think the GCI's had thicker formica and a slightly more rounded top rail.

I'm supporting ABR this tournament. Anyone But Ronnie. As a Scot, I don't want him to beat Hendry's record.

too late!

we all know who is the better player

6, 7, 8 crucible titles, doesn’t tell the whole story

Well Scott is my heritage and I am unaware of a dispute or diss of any nature.
He Guoqiang must feel sacrificial down 5-0 going to 10.

The complaint about smaller ranking events is somewhat odd to me. The Beasley, for instance, was also held in 2025. It's not new this year.

Shaw's complaint centers on standard of play and equipment. He appears to be arguing MR has lowered its standards and will now just about let anyone hold a smaller ranking event.

Let's say he is right. Why would MR do that?

Frazer has said MR wanted more smaller regional events to let players obtain points without having to travel so far. Seems reasonable, but why not maintain standards?

It may be the case MR is trying to generate more revenue any way it can. Frazer constantly complains there is no money in pool. Is this a sign of desperation? Maybe, but it's unclear.

Which gets to the final complaint of Mike and Mike. Matchroom won't talk publicly about anything. Can't argue there. Matchroom has been silent about a lot of stuff.

Shaw is being advertised on Matchroom flyers for the Scottish and UK opens. He's been viewed as a strong supporter of Matchroom since the WNT began. So his comments should be taken seriously.

There's no doubt MR/WNT has lost momentum.

While they got much of the schedule for 2026 out earlier than usual, WNT still has not revealed the date for the World Pool Championship. It hasn't said if there will be a Hanoi (or Peri) open.

More astonishing, WNT has not updated or publicized its Mosconi and Reyes Cup rankings this year. It's all blank. This is ridiculous.

Not only that, but it's virtually impossible to find out the prize fund distribution for smaller events like the recent Beasley Open.

Finally, prize funds are stagnant. In some cases have been overtaken by Predator.

Price adjustment...$2000 OBO (USD)

Great looking Jacoby cue still available for a price that other so called "limited edition" cues are reselling for right now!

Come get it before someone else tucks it away in their collection.

Reminder: since this is a uni-loc joint, you can use any uni-loc carbon fiber shaft on it as well.

Who cares if the ball set was purchased and returned? What if the even the shrink wrapped set was purchased and returned? Being shrink wrapped doesnt mean that they were not previously purchased and returned. The only thing that matters is that they look like Aramith balls and are they in perfect brand new condition? Beyond that nothing else really matters because they will soon be smashed about on your pool table. SMH.
