Adding to his long list of world titles, Gorst goes undefeated to win his first China Open

azhousepro
China’s Liu Shasha becomes the fourth women to win China Open multiple times The day after Fedor Gorst went undefeated to win his first China Open at the Tangzhen Cultural and Sports Centre in Shanghai over this past weekend (Sept. 8-13), he posted a bit of poetry on his Facebook page. Attributed to a Vietnamese fan (he reportedly has a lot of them there), its metaphoric form, features a typical, Vietnamese folk-rhyming style, with Gorst as a mythical ‘hero.’ Desert children pass down the song of the double-edged sword: “Dragon bones bloom with leaves and flowers Fresh water fills the rocky […]

IF she wins that Tx case she won't be obligated to do shit with them. Joe has/had a son that helped him set up. He'll probably flip them all if that's the case. Bad deal all around.

As I understand the legal doc we saw briefly, it was just about the cues being in probate or not. That does not change the real ownership of the cues. The problem is how to recover them.

Why don't more bars lease Diamond pool tables?

Because 99.9 percent of the people probably are just there to have a few drinks and pass the time, they don’t care anything about the tables, cues etc. they simply don’t take the game seriously like we do.

They must be a big enough draw or else zero bar owners would bother to get Diamond tables when they could just get a used Great American for 1/5 of the price.

Bob, I can't agree with you enough. Toss in the # of promoters who say "Well, we listed it on our website/Facebook page. How could people not know about it?".

The only thing harder than getting the information in advance, is getting the results when events are over.

Big Ko on Waxed Balls

The spec needs revision.

I think the range is to cover all the manufacturers who cared. Maybe it is from the days when some balls were clay.

A more important spec is the matching of the weights within a set. That needs to be added. I think the maximum variation in a set from lightest to heaviest ball should be 2 grams or less, out of about 170. That is about what Aramith is currently doing. Here is are the weights in the set I'm currently using:

I think your assessment is spot on. Weight is important in how pool balls are made and pool cues are built.

The symmetry of pool balls influences how both the object ball and cue ball behave but that assumes one’s
stroke was not determinant in how both balls reacted. Pool cue anatomy is a little different but also a bit similar.

That would be great! There are so many tournaments in almost everyone's area. My goal is to get tournament info out people in there city, county and state, also big tournaments. I don't know how many times I've missed a tournament that was only 30 miles away or even in my town, lol.

I think the largest problem for information efforts like this is motivating the people with the info to get it to you. A similar problem is with the directories of places to play, of which there are five or six now. How can you get the info to begin with, and how can you maintain it over time? In the case of some of the room directories, the volunteer labor stopped volunteering, so that's a problem too.

My view: this is something the BCA should be doing, both for places to play and for local tournaments. Or maybe USA Cue Sports:
