    Predator launched a new site

    Yup, you're right. SEA market, and a little bit of the China market.

    Fedor’s “new” chalk…

    It's made in China, and I am sure upwards of 20 other companies have their chalk made in the same place (Tuen, Wooldrigdge, Lambros and other stuff aimed at China market mostly etc etc etc) I know this comment is supposed to be funny, but it's actually pretty close to the mark lol

    Thoroughbred Tips

    Do enlighten me, I am not sure I understand :ROFLMAO: (It's a combination of a nickname I've had since a child, and, well, break and run lol)

    Fedor’s “new” chalk…

    He just gave me blue, so I went with it. Works well on my break, jump and playing cue. It's softer than the chalk I replaced it with, but not discernibly messier.

    Thoroughbred Tips

    I find the medium to be awesome. Plays into a medium/hard after a day or two. Zero mushrooming, Zero complaints. Good work! Great product. My friend sent me over a load, as it's certainly cheaper buying them in the US than it is in China!

    Fedor’s “new” chalk…

    The first half of mine wore down quicker than the chalk I was using previously, but seems to hit the point of either an optical illusion or infinity, as I feel like I have been at half a cube for an eternity now. Got 4 cubes of the blue one, and really see no reason to switch. Grabs nice, it's...

    Fedor’s “new” chalk…

    I am using the pagulayan Alex gave me. But I’m not short of a lifetime supply of chalks… 😂 Lucky enough people give them to me, otherwise I’d use whatever’s at the hall tbh

    Fedor’s “new” chalk…

    25$ and 40$ for two apparently 😂 I’d sell you HC for $10 + shipping Constantly dumbfounded by the new colour, new shape, new ‘tech’ people lap up in this game

    Fedor’s “new” chalk…

    Anyone at the expo got an idea how much he’s selling that for? It’s just rebranded “Hola Champion” chalk… From 3$ a piece on Taobao to… “place your guesses here”

    AZB Appreciation...

    Access to some websites has been moderated on my work intranet, and I can now access Reddit with no VPN (annoyingly, I need to use one to get on here...) Though I don't post there, I started using the platform to look at some other interests and hobbies, peering into r/billiards from time to...

    2026 JOY Heyball Grand Masters Finals

    That was a decent read. Wish I could get the time away from work to compete in more things.

    2026 JOY Heyball Grand Masters Finals

    Perhaps, I only have experience playing on 9 or 10ft American tables. Played on lots of Chinese tables, and I prefer newer Duya spec tables (and playing 9ball, rather than 8ball). Rasson do American tables immaculately, but their Chinese tables are... meh. Joy tables are nice to be honest, but I...

    2026 JOY Heyball Grand Masters Finals

    I think Joy has set standards for all tournaments. Duya standards differ slightly (I like that they squared off the jaws a little, much more interesting to watch than Chinese 8-ball. Refuse to call it "heyball" - it's supposed to mix Chinese and English together 黑 for black and ball. Sounds dumb...
