    Thorsten hohmann drops out of mosconi

    Friends here in the Middle Kingdom reckon it's a publicity and image dealio, pushed by Emily who sees it as bad for business. Too old, and another non-US native. I love watching things like this get discussed in online groups, or at the hall.

    Are 3/8 x 11 a really uncommon joint size?

    I think it is available in 3/8x11 now, at least the guy selling a lot of imported US product has told me so (at a price of 4,500rmb around 675$) - There are many other things I would rather spend 675$ on. I will wait til I eventually meet someone who has one and try it. I would agree with you...

    Are 3/8 x 11 a really uncommon joint size?

    Which Jacoby did you go for? I did consider trying out a v4 or v5 (probably the only carbon shaft I haven't tried on my Zen), though it is quite overpriced in this part of the world which put me off. No friends to test, and a no refund policy from the seller. Tried Hayakawa, Cuetec, Kieth Andy...

    Are 3/8 x 11 a really uncommon joint size?

    SW and ZEN are using the same 3/8x11 pin - Cuetec, Kieth Andy, Jacoby, Hayakawa and a few others are making carbon shafts with this pin. You will certainly pay a premium, and you will certainly spent more time than you would like looking for one to "try before you buy".

    Phillipines Open

    Every time watching Shaw play is just like this... It's why we watch. It's why MR gives him the air time lol

    Phillipines Open

    Well, that might encourage them to put the effort in... Might also encourage Matchroom to rethink the criteria for selection to actually give US players the relevant aspirations I think Vogel shot himself in the foot deliberately slowing it down, and I think Shaw let him know that at the end of...

    Variations on "Playing the Ghost"

    I play a similar modified format. MR break rules on a 4" cornered Rasson table. Take ball in hand and run out, it's one point, If I miss it is two points to the ghost. No ball in hand and break and run, it's two points to me, one point to the ghost if I miss. If I choose to lay a safety after...

    Phillipines Open

    I still think Reyes cup should be Asia vs the winner of Mosconi. Give the US some incentive to pull their fingers out of their proverbial. Europe could field a team that competes with an Asian team (though the way the teams are organized and selected is so heavily mummied by MR anyway, in order...

    Phillipines Open

    This event has certainly amplified just how insanely boring pool is without a shot clock. The stop, start, bobbing up and down, lint picking, jerking off shafts, leaning left and right. It's not PSR, it's sharking. Bloody boring as hell to watch (apart from the times it occasionally erupts into...
