First and foremost, for those of you who do not know Yu Hsuan Cheng goes by Kevin.

Now to my main point which starts off with my first impression of Kevin.

The first time I saw Kevin Cheng play he was in action at Big Tyme Billiards here in Houston. His cueball control, safety play and kicking were UNBELIEVABLE. He put people in spots and got out of spots that would have made Efren smile. His cueball control off the break and jumping were strong too. Most of us who watched him play agreed that the only reason he played under some of these other top pros was that he missed sometimes. Everything else he did was top tier. With that being said he has A TON of talent and everybody could see that. Fast forward and he hasn't been making waves until now. He got bashed a lot during the world 9 ball and I chuckled to myself at the people in the chat who insisted he had no game. The man is the real deal and from the looks of it is starting to come into his game and strong. I really look forward to seeing him succeed the next couple of years. If Kevin keeps making balls he will be a force to be reckoned with.

I hope he wins the US Open and continues to play strong.

Meanwhile I saw him play at the beginning of last year LOL!

Kevin honestly didn't seem comfortable during the W9B and he has be rated under a lot of other top pros up until now.

I thinking turning point for him was when he won his biggest win, this event $30K prizemoney and beat Wu whom he had never beaten before.
Up until then it was confidence, psychological barrier for him to win bigger tourneys :D

Kevin has had really good success last year here in the states.

He snapped off the White Diamond and Side Pocket Open barbox events both had really big calcutta payouts.

He beat Warren Kiamco even and beat Josh Roberts giving him the 8 in 10 ball in action matches.

Kevin is the real deal he gave Richie Richeson the 8 ball on that super tight table at Buffalo's in New Orleans and i mean super tight like snooker pocket size and made the table look easy.

Kevin Cheng

Not only is Kevin a Champioship caliber player, he is a complete gentlemen on and off the table!!
He plays with a Ebony nose Franklin era South West, so he's got my vote!

Win it all Kevin, our whole household is rooting for you!!!

This is really strange....I don't know Kevin, but the first time I've heard his name
and naysayer used in the same sentence comes from a man who is praising him?
