SJM Trip Report: 2026 WNT UK Open a Big Hit

Pockets were the same for all, and how 4 inch pockets are generous?
When was Fedor's last WNT major win? how is he still #1?
Filler had strong opponents as well, he just kept them in their seats...
I think that by the end of the year, Fedor will lose his #1 ranking
A few of the players suggested to me that the new cloth is causing the tables to play a bit looser than in the past.
I was looking forward to this. Thanks for a great trip report. It looks like the UK Open was a huge success.

One thing you didn't mention, though I suppose it's not all that relevant, was the British drummers who escorted the Last 16 onto the stage. Interestingly, Eklent Kaci was missing when the players marched out, even though his name was announced. I'm curious what happened, why he was late, and how he looked once competition began. He usually brings his famous game face. But I do wonder if there was anything noticeable on his performance.
Sadly, I showed up a bit late for the Saturday afternoon session. I heard the festivities from outside the entrance, and the display sounded very impressive. Didn't know about the Kaci thing.

Dynaspheres and WNT Launch Major Partnership as the New Balls of the Tour

Wow..thats BORING!!

Even the cheap crapper balls at my local pool hall use those colors.

Yes..they're nice but that same for the last what....century...

Next time try Chocolate ice cream..it will blow your mind..honky..
WOW really....honky? HAHAHAHAHA

Tell me, what is YOUR favorite ice cream, so we can all judge you according to our personal preferences.

For the 1st time ever, I am experiencing a Mezz United Joint shaft that will not fit on a Standard 5/16x14 pool cue butt (that is not a Mezz).

I honestly thought it was stuck, at about 3/4 way down (while trying to screw it together), lol, but thought the wax on the pin was worth a try. Was actually shocked that it worked. Or, maybe there was just some type of build up on the pin itself (if the threads were not completely clean), and cleaning it fixed it. I am just so happy it screws together now, lol. It is still noticeable more difficult on the last several turns, then on other Mezz shaft that I have tried in the past, on regular 5/16x14 joint pins.
