"The Great Wave"
Our customer approached us some time ago with a simple request, to build his dream case! This build represents the confluence of countless hours of planning, preparation, practice, and, finally, execution. Many components of this build pushed our creativity and design.
The main body of this case is the belly of an 11' Wild American Alligator, accented by premium Italian veg-tan displayng 'inlays' of natural ring lizard and a customized stamp pattern. It features, prominently, on the front pockets our interpretation of Hokusai's masterpiece 'The Great Wave of Kanagawa.'
This case got all the bells and whistles, and then some! The 8" and 16" wraparound pockets are lined with pig skin suede and feature internal compartments of Napa lamb. The removable backpack straps are lined with supple vachetta and boast plush shearling shoulder pads. The handles are contoured and wrapped tightly in white pigmented veg-tan. In addition, there is a signature stitch ring at the rubberized base, ring lizard inside the lid, solid brass hardware, red YKK zippers, and a red 2 x 5 JB Ultrapad interior.
Everything is saddle stitched, in red, by hand.
Thanks for looking!

APA 9-Ball Foul Question

Thank you for pointing out that that bullet point is out of place. Those bullets are about what happens when it's too late to call a foul, so the 9-Ball bullet point is totally irrelevant there (because there is no foul). I will make a suggestion to APA to move it to the 9-Ball bullet point at the end of the fouls section. Look for it in the next edition, due out in the middle of 2026.

isnt 3 foul used in most 8 ball leagues?
and those push hits are hard to argue for when you were sitting in your chair. gambling you stand over the shot with him. and must warn him before he shoots.
you just also taught lots of fouls(cheat shots)
to use when your opponent isnt looking.
great video, mr. spoil sport
