    If Joshua Filler and/or Fedor Gorst Were Born In The United States

    Sometimes this forum gives conservative old man vibes, sometimes it gives teenage girl vibes. This thread is the latter :ROFLMAO: Since we are speculating... Cuesports are 99.9% coaching, both physically and psychologically, not exactly genetics... Otherwise I would be banging in tons for fun...

    If Joshua Filler and/or Fedor Gorst Were Born In The United States

    It is. Fact. Nothing can be gleaned from such questions except fan fiction.

    Alex P vs Mick Hill in the Finals of a Chinese table 9 ball tournament

    Dual nationality isn’t prohibited in the US is it? Genuine question, as it is in some places. If it isn’t… 🤷

    Tell me what should an American name sound like? 😬

    They do require ironing, and if not cared for, they turn to shit pretty rapid.

    Alex P vs Mick Hill in the Finals of a Chinese table 9 ball tournament

    As I understand it, they all are templated. I do know that different brands use different rails, and this affects how they accept balls at speed (a crucial element of the game).

    I’m not Chinese, and i’m certainly not an entire country 😂 Anyway, Phone vs. Bingjie is a good watch right now!

    Alex P vs Mick Hill in the Finals of a Chinese table 9 ball tournament

    Find the sides tough but fair where I play. If you have any questions specifically about the tables, I can ask directly. Agree with you. The major table brands all maintain a set standard.

    Alex P vs Mick Hill in the Finals of a Chinese table 9 ball tournament

    If you’re implying censorship, coercion and control doesn’t exist in your “land of the free”, you’re a) delusional, b) probably need to start a thread about it in NPR 😂

    Alex P vs Mick Hill in the Finals of a Chinese table 9 ball tournament

    Orcullo. Break and run in the final moments of the match, which took the score from 54-61 in Wu's favour, to 64-61 with Orcullo taking it.

    Matchroom schedule - double-dipping in Vietnam

    Been robbed at knife point twice in my life. Once in London, once in HCMC. Difference being, I enjoy being in, and would go back to HCMC. Only event that lines up with my work calendar is PERI open, considering it. Lots of Friends from China and TW likely to attend.

    Alex P vs Mick Hill in the Finals of a Chinese table 9 ball tournament

    I have learned to make the most out of the month so after they get a re-cloth. But I shouldn't complain that they get a lot of use. It's good to see American tables getting a lot of use here.

    Alex P vs Mick Hill in the Finals of a Chinese table 9 ball tournament

    The general public here are pretty interested. Many millions watch it, and people here tune in throughout the day, mostly through re-streams on Douyin or WeChat (It reminds me a bit of when I was a kid and my family would leave snooker matches on the telly all day whilst doing other stuff...

    Alex P vs Mick Hill in the Finals of a Chinese table 9 ball tournament

    Top + a little outside. It works on 4" Rasson tables too. Have to be more specific with the point. I've also used the jaws of the middle on an American table in a similar fashion. I made a 3/9 combo after using the top left jaw in this fashion. One of the best shots I have ever made. DM if...

    Alex P vs Mick Hill in the Finals of a Chinese table 9 ball tournament

    These tables have existed for quite a while... longer than they have been exporting the game to global eyes. agree It's easy once you spend a second thinking about it. It also makes games much closer and more interesting. A lot of the general public play "Zhuifen" with cards to keep score for...

    Alex P vs Mick Hill in the Finals of a Chinese table 9 ball tournament

    Tables look alright, Dynaspheres are nice and the right colour, the cues are a players preference I quite like the colored differentiation to show ranking (a bit like the purple and orange caps in some t20 cricket tournaments to show highest run getter or wicket taker), and then the standard...

    Alex P vs Mick Hill in the Finals of a Chinese table 9 ball tournament

    Correct, and give one to opponent for a foul Correct - Or if the time elapses. Highest score wins. Took a while for my American friend to get that one player could win more racks, but lose on points. Orcullo vs Wu Jiaqing was awesome Ko Pin Yi vs Chu Bing Jie promised to be close for a while...

    Summer is here....who is responsible for WARP IN TRANSIT

    Agree Shanghai is the same

    Why do players seem to want the same cue, tip, and specs that their favorite player uses?

    17 to 17.5oz with 9.5mm tip seems to be about the 'standard' from observation/players I know - I play with 18.2oz and 9.5mm tip, always have and always will, and I get told it's heavy. English billiards cues were slightly lighter and with a thicker tip. My grandfather played a lot of English...
