Chua is apparently back though.chua and the ko brothers have defected to chinese pool. currently not eligible.
I was able to handle this cue in person at the Western BCA tourney that is currently going on in Oregon. That is a mighty nice cue.SugarTree (Wrapless Butterfly points) Pool Cue | Biggelbachs https://share.google/BPl4vyovhKcBOMgPM
It looked to me like the two youngsters (Januarta and Manas) are in over their heads this week. All the coms could say about them is they have potential. Replace them with Yapp and Chua and it would have been a better match. Experence counts!
I did not say the version is lazy, but the break method is. In competition, it is not a good idea to get a good spread and not make at least one ball.The "amateur" version is not lazy.
You still need a very good spread, with few or no tied up problem balls, and you still would want to make as many balls as possible on the break to limit the number of balls you have to run.
This is a nice extrapolation to include safeties and kicking/jumping.I like this modification. When I used to practice using the ghost I needed to work on safety and kicking play so I modified it slightly as well. If you couldn't run out you could play a safety, then I would play as the ghost and try to make a legal hit 3 times. If I could hit the ball then the ghost won, if I couldn't, then I could take ball in hand and finish the run. You have to try your best to hit it.
I like the double point system you used and I didn't think to try and incorporate anything like that, just wanted to practice playing safe and getting out of tough safes. I think it improved my safety and kicking game a lot when I had a table at home.
Sticky?Sir, I seem to associate wax with stickyness but having never used it before, could you explain to me where the slickness comes from by applying it..?
And many thanks for offering a phone consultation on the subject, that is very generous of you and I wish for your generosity to return to you a thousand fold...
