Sure, I think one of the problems in such discourse, is that the ideas of 'privilege' that we are conditioned to see as the normal, or even the perceived definition of the word itself, doesn't really bridge the understanding of what it's like to not receive it to those who do receive or benefit...

whack

Yup, whether that is social, or financial. Both impact, and affect, not only a persons ability to tour or play the game, but how they feel in match, or about their relative progress. Once you can move a stick backward and forward, let's not pretend that it's not mostly psychology.

It's a money game, a class game, a privilege game (privilege takes many shapes and forms - from a shove in the right direction, to fully fledged hand holding). Numbers corespondend to the opportunity that is both presented, and afforded to, certain people (as well as types of people).

Agree with you totally here. JFlowers for value (if you can get past the logos and designs, great product)

Not an equal comparison, but I didn't say it was, nor did I intend it to be. But they do ultimately suffer from many of the same issues.

Similar reasons why people say it's impossible for women to be as good as men. Pushed consumer trends and prevailing psychology of the people who run the show...

It's funny that the green one is probably the cheapest one here right now (besides the original or blue). Everyone is currently Fapping over the Nightcrawler, pink, and to some extent the white one still... The new silly neon ones they unveiled at the expo didn't gain much traction beyond...

Can't imagine Ronnie saying that. Can imagine him saying, "Efren is Facking Brilliant to watch, Wotta bloke"

Nightcrawler and Pink are selling for up 15,000-20,000rmb (cheapest brand new I saw from a quick scan just now is 13,000rmb) - I will let you convert it, because thinking of consumer drones throwing that much money at a product made for the tiniest fraction of that price (especially when there...

You should see how much they go for in China 🤮 so crazy.

Tbh, CueLee's (LiSi), CueRoc, JFlowers - are all making a similar, equally useable (if not better), cheaper product. They all have garish logos, much like predator, but they come with half the hype. I'd argue the latest CueLee's iteration looks better than the re-hashed BKrush colour swap once a...

1. Penalize slow play to a point where it becomes the norm in all contexts of play to use a shot clock or faster pace. 2. 4" pockets - standardized measurements, uniformed across table manufacturers (4.25 or 4.5 can be training aids, or used to work through as levels) 3. All ball fouls, all the...

I went home for my summer vacation. 6 weeks of not playing pool (though I did get on a snooker table 2 or 3 times with my dad, but that doesn't involve a lot of table time for me... I took one frame off him the whole vacation, and that was because he blasted the reds open early lol). Got back...

You can get differing diameter of C8 here in China. Because you can look up c8 and find all you need to know :ROFLMAO: What I imagine they are going to do is use the name to differentiate the size in future. I have seen c8 shafts in various diameters here. In fact, two guys I play regularly...

It is just a c8 with a new name. Confirmed from three different current players. They didn’t even change the logo.

Jayson Shaw might not, having just watched his interview on the tube of you. Have a little more respect for the guy after that to be honest. Was decent background noise at work this morning.

They play great too

Yeah, I can't wear a hat and play. If it's hot enough outside to wear one, like when it's 40*C here, I just don't go outside.
