Thanks, let’s see

Yes, love playing in Vietnam. If you find the right hall, you can be in heaven. There’s high level. There’s the other end of the spectrum too. Well, Phnom Penh and Siem Reap should have something. On the lookout. Chinese or American table isn’t a bother.

Anyone knows a decent place to play in Cambodia? Here for a couple weeks for a friends wedding. Just curious if anyone has been or knows a good spot to play a few lazy racks.

Got given a few pieces of blue and it plays alright. I found it to be quite soft in the beginning, and was worried I would get through it quickly, but as I got down to the wrapper, it's become a bit more resilient. Used it for 3/4 months now, and it will easily last me a year or longer at this...

I’m at my club now and can’t really tell, screenprinted or painted. If it’s a decal it’s realllllllly thin.

In Shanghai and Xiamen you can easily find American pool. Shanghai/Xiamen being the main American table stalwarts. To a lesser extent, Nanjing, Guangzhou, Chongqing, I see with growing scenes (or co-operating with businesses in Shanghai/Xiamen). There are other areas too, but Chinese Billiards...

He's very popular in Asia, and especially China, and the market is already fixated on other things. He cannot meet the price needed to obtain a valid market share. It's the same with all the products he sells, right down to the chalk. Ding Jun Hui has the market there, so why bother. He comes to...

As I mentioned above, after a little thought, it is like other aspects of the table; cloth, pocket size/depth/facing etc. That contribute to its perceived easier play compared to the 9ft tables I mostly play on. I also think that the hall would be doing themselves a disservice to get rid of this...

He spent a long time on social media last year saying "sOmEtHiNg BiG iS cOmInG" While he rubbed off 'Aaron the pool shark' This is probably it... Seems a lot of players have figured out how easy it is to pay a Chinese speaking agent to take them to Mordor, like the greedy little hobitses they are.

That sounds like an interesting table to play on! I think that perhaps the other factors, such as; the rails, cloth, pocket size/depth/facing, all likely contribute to why this 10ft table feels easier than the tables I usually play on. Hopefully the situation allows you to get it out and get...

That's awesome, certainly jealous. I would say it's a mixed consensus on the considered difficulty where I live. But to be honest, the 10ft is not used to its full potential here. They will likely get rid of it soon. Many preferring to play on 9ft Rassons. Personally, I think it would be a...

I see your point Jay, and of course you are much better informed than I could ever hope to be. In my experience, I found 10ft much more comfortable. Maybe it is snooker background? Maybe it is a result of the type of 9ft tables I play on? Maybe there is an optimum playing surface area for...

I cannot speak for everyone, only my own experience. I generally find the 10ft table to be easier for both games. But then my usual table is a Rasson Accura, Ox or Wolf with 4" corners. I found (and still find) that my 10ball break took a lot of adjusting for me to figure out on the 10ft, takes...

To be fair, it would be easy enough to have a shotclock on every table if that was the case. No tech or AI needed. You might have just solved an ancient pool mystery hahaha

Yes, I play on one twice a month on average. It's quite expensive though. Well, compared to my usual hall where I barely pay a thing. A couple of times a month I will go to the other side of the river and play with a friend. Usually 10ball, but occasionally 9ball. It's convenient, as my GF works...
