[WPA / Joy Billiards] Heyball World Investment
- Thread starter MattPoland
- Start date
Confirmed...with alarming frequency!
I don't think anyone will care if there was 100MM behind it. The game is boring as hell.
It's like the IPT with 8 ball. Ignoring all the KT drama, the game itself of 8-ball was boring to watch. Heyball is more boring than American 8-ball due to the snooker pocket cuts, and is very obscure outside of China.
The players will take the money and run. The fans won't show up. It will fold.
IMO.

I am surprised. After the last letter from wpa banging out chinese eighth ball competitions, now they make part of it!
It is a game for strong players, but wpa will want to obligate players to choose between them and MR. We will see asians play it and the rest of the world playing MR events.
The best would be also matchroom going to the same path, along with wpa and the chinese. All the players would be in.

Please go away.
Flushing New York is reinventing what Chinese culture is. Please visit and check out the many pool rooms in Flushing owned and operated by Chinese business people.
it's a suiting neighborhood for a toilet repair man
some asians maybe, but i would be really surprised to many big 9-ball names go with this venture. melling, darren and the other blackball boys will likely jump on it (as they should tbh), likely JL chang and dennis too. i guess we'll see. interesting times.
WTF?????????????? Are you high or just naturally delusional???????? Wait, don't answer that. Just go away. You do know that you're THE laughingstock on AZ, right??
My opinion differs. Crooks and failed business model aside, I think the IPT 8-ball tournaments were the most fun tournaments to watch.
I personally feel those Chinese 8-ball tables are an absolute abomination. If someone wants to play pocket billiards on a table with snooker-shaped pockets pockets, just play snooker. Leave the pockets of a pool table alone, such that it's still possible to fire in an OB down the rail.
The IPT had it somewhat correct by incorporating the slow cloth, because we all know 8-ball with fast cloth and 4.5" pockets is just too easy for the pros. But I've been advocating this idea for a decade, but if we want to make 8-ball for the pros more interesting, instead of mucking with the table (3.5" pockets, or snooker shaped pockets, or slow nap cloth), simply increase the number of objects above 15 (to 21, for example). Adding a few more balls is a whole lot easier than modifying (or in heyball's case completely redesigning) existing pool tables.
America poolrooms play such bad music.
I hope Heyball comes to Flushing and plays good Chinese music with good Chinese service, where players act in accordance with Chinese norms.
Not the Chinese that cough and spit in public. The professional ones.

8 ball is boring due to the structure of the game. When played well there is little CB movement and the shots are tap tap tap. 9 ball forces zig zag shots.
I think even 14-1 is better than 8 ball. Even though little CB movement in that game, there are many trick shots, break shots, and secondary break shots. And there are not even the tap tap tap of 8 ball. It’s usually with a lot more authority in 14-1 for even stop shot patterns. Plus it builds momentum as the runs get higher.
8 ball is the worst of the games imo for viewing.

The only reason 8 ball is popular with the bangers is because they don’t even know other games exist.
Its a good beer-league game and that's about it. Lot of league play where i go and they all seem to love it. 99.9% of them wouldn't get out of the electric chair to play 9b on a big table.
At times like these, I miss Cocobolo Cowboy. You're a charlatan, a mere interloper in Coco's rodeo.
Coco was the real deal.
All my heroes are cowboys.
