Wow nice and open break for Toasty to clean up :)

Souquet has one of the most fundamentally sound games

I agree, either lock or delete threads. I mean hell, this is a POOL discussion, not a drama series on AZ billiards

Same can be said of the America events in terms of a big handful of elites not participating from the Asian countries. Other than Lo Li Wen, I don't think any Taiwanese players have participated in any of the American events in the past few years. Maybe the WPC should be held in Hawaii :)

Taken straight from the forum rules: "Disagreeing with someone is fine, but calling them an idiot because of their opinion is not." I hope the moderator would keep this place a little more in control. Trolls should be monitored but those who flame the trolls should also be warned. Sick of these...

So who are you guys rooting for? I'd love to see some young talents take this event!

No problem, I got tricked at first too and got excited. I live literally 3 minutes from his shop.

hey i think your caps lock is on!

It is not a pool room, but rather a cue repair/maintenance shop with one table. Awesome place though :)

I do this every once in awhile when I miss my bank :) Unintentionally of course. Actually, its funny how a lot of missed fluke shots are "amazing" shots when played intentionally.

Was born in 88 so never gotten the chance to see him play lol. Let's just say, appreciate the legend and keep it at that. No need to try to dethrone him or make comparisons. The era is different and its difficult to make a comparison when so many factors are different. This is just as annoying...

Because beginners wants something flashy and haven't learned the true aesthetics to cues yet :) How cheap are "cheaper cues" though? Mezz has plain janes for 300ish? But if we're talking about like 100-200, yup its rare, they all come with questionable designs.

Do we know how he ended the run? If its just simply poor position play, then LD shaft will make no difference.

Sorry dude! I really hate leagues, bar boxes, and private lessons! Expensive custom cues and Kamui chalks are for the wasteful ones. CTE is the only way to aim!

I like how every topic on AZ can turn into an argument :) Can't we discuss things rationally?

I also believe that its the player and not the equipment unless it isn't shooting straight. If it made that much of a difference I'd expect more pros to be using LD shafts. While it may make a lot of difference for players who are not experienced in judging squirt levels, to the pros/world class...

The placebo effect is very strong, especially in pool.

That is very true. A couple games with some advices and teaching for players who can pocket balls well but have poor knowledge on position play can take their games to the next level. On top of that while these games may not be important for the better player, it can become a lifetime experience...

Lets just say Kamui's marketing strategy was successful :)

Great post. I think the key is to clean up all the negative connotations that is widely associated with pool (gambling, alcohol, and bar-like setting) and encourage the youths to participate in this game. The reason why America dominates most sports is that we have good training and knowledge...
