No sorry comes with the cue

Oh, you also need to get a buddy who doesn't know how to jump properly try jumping a couple of hundred balls, tell him to attempt a bunch of masse's also, that should give you all the proper rips and tears.

Hohmann qualified. It has to be his decision not to participate, and I expect it will, in fact, be his choice.

His choice, or "his choice?"

IMO this is not the time for lesser players or less experienced players to get an invite. No AJ Manas - just the best of the best.

If I went by skill and experience, five of my six wild cards would be Biado, Yapp, Gorst, Shaw and Kazakis.

I don't see the point in inviting a Ko brother if they are not coming back at all to the WNT. Not fair to other players. Last I checked, though, WNT was still showing Ko Pin Yi in its WPM promos ...

The final pick I'd give to Hoang or Chang Yu Lun, if normal WNT eligibility rules are in play. If not, Chua would be a juicy pick.

Matchroom had invited 16 players to the most recent WPM events before it went on a two-year hiatus. A few months ago, MR announced the event would be expanded to 20 players. The top 14 players in the rankings would get automatic bids and six wild cards would be invited.

Frazer was just referring to the 14 automatic bids. The Philippines Open is the cutoff.

Yeah that is shaft weight I’m pretty sure. I have newer era shafts but they have the weight and a letter for the model / taper I think. May have to pull them out and look.

For the Denver folks- I ordered one after Ray passed but spoke to Mrs. Schuler on the phone. It came up that I had lived in Denver before and we spoke of some players there. Leonard Williams came up and they were friends, but I remembered him playing 3C with a D Series McDermott. She said they tried to get him to play with a carom cue but he stuck with the pool cue. And remained friends.

Eat some barbecue chicken and don’t wash your hands before you play. Get a pitcher of dark beer and spill it on the table and allow your friends to ash their cigars on the table. If you use a glove switch over to powder and don’t be stingy with layering it on your barbecue sauce covered hands. Also eating Cheetos while playing should round out a proper table treatment. After that you should be ready to take on any weekly dive tournament.
