Pick any of the winning top European players over the last year's, they're all gonna be Hall of Famers one day! Filler, Oushan, Shaw, Feijen, Gorst... You name them.

Eeeeeeeuuuuuuuuuuurooope

Does anyone know if Jeremy Jones is a hard smoker? Looking at his brownish beard around the lips I would assume so.

Does anyone know what exactly this matte finish is? I would love to have this on my old Predator Roadline SP.

Hey, modern Predator Roadline forearms are coated with a matte finish. What's that exactly? Is it oil or matte lacquer? Do you think, you could remove the shiny finish from an older roadline and apply a matte finish once that it was shiny?

Hi, what's your experience with buying carbon break cues from Asia. I'm not talking about no name brands or the poorly copied expensive brands. We now have some very established low price brands like Wolf, OKHealing, Konllen or even Rhino from the Philippines who produce a range of different...

I would let Styer out of this. He is the american player with the best technique and shot quality by far!

So when you're looking for only five (5) capable players to compete well in the MC, you really think there's a significant difference between a pool of 330 million people to 730 million?

It's not about the one very good player who comes from a certain country. A good player can develop in any country if he starts playing the sport at a very early age and has the passion. Of course, good pool players can also develop in Albania or the UK or even the US. And by the way: UK has a...

Which European model exactly is government funded? The heart of European pool is also the league system. However, it is set up professionally. The basis is the many local clubs. And even for low amateur players you have coaches, teams and leagues they can participate in. You have to learn how to...

As a European myself, I really wish the USA would win this cup again, just to have a little more excitement and to revalue this tournament. But the fact is, all five players of team Europe are top 15 players of the world rankings. Even the degraded Filler and Oushan are top 15. On the other...

Where is SVB? Was it mentioned?

You would consider 78 as hard? That's about the value of a Kamui Black Medium.

Well I bought it out of interest to see if I like it or not. I guess you just have to buy and try. I played a high quality custom wood shaft using a Kamui medium tip which made a very good combination of good cue ball control with a solid hit. Now the medium tip on the Revo feels a little hard...
