I have no idea. Wasn't the point of the comment. Apologies, I forgot where I was posting.

Weird considering we all know that NA is the center of the universe...lol. I actually applaud them for not bending a knee to gain NA approval. If this was a Canadian game, we'd be apologizing and promptly morph the game into whatever you wanted.

I agree... Although I have heard rumour that inclusion isn't as open ended as you may think. Again, I've been lead to believe that the Chinese gov has it's fingers in the pie (so to speak) and they are protective of their product. I don't believe anyone with entry money can waltz in and play...

52... The best way to watch pool is with your finger on the skip 10sec button... ;)

You're assuming you're preference is the way it's meant to be or should be. The biggest issue with 8b is all the variations of "the way to play". While I'm no C-8b fan, (nor hater), at least it does provide some level of effort. 8b on a 'normally' cut table, is far to easy a game. Probably...

No I get it... But complaints about pace of play and glacier like table pattern development by 1pkt fans, is about as hypocritical as it can get...lol. Not saying you're complaining or a 1pkt fan. Just drawing a comparison to a somewhat popular NA game. That's actually played on a much...

Oh come on... This is no more boring than 1pkt. I'm sure some if not all 1pkt fans will claim how much difficult and strategic 1pkt is. However, I'd wager there's more 8 and out happening in 1pkt these days then there is in the wide open chinese 8b rack. C-8ball is simply a strategy first...

That's funny... Because I actually do laugh when I see players pull chunks of sandpaper out of their cases....lol Guns don't kill people ;) Kidding aside. For me personally, all what I want to do is recondition my tip so it will successfully strip chalk from the cube. I do not want to alter...

^^^This... I never use anything other than a pick or ever have. I have also never needed to shape my tips or ever experienced a delamination as well. Coincidence...?..., maybe. I simply angle the pick to somewhat match the arc of the tip at it edge. Tap it gently but firm, while spinning...

Nice, and I can completely relate. I jumped into my 50's a couple years ago and my eyes are also going down the shitter. Make most shots based on muscle memory at this point...lol

Of course... again though, I wonder how often that extreme pops up. I know I'm not the player you are, but even I can rip a ball pretty damn hard without things breaking down. I can't imagine a shot I'd play within a game that requires more than I can muster, with accuracy.

So my honest question is why...? Is there some shot in the game that you run across that requires an additional 15% of power that you can't seem to generate with the Z3...? Personally I don't find a struggle generating power with my old Z2 or the 11.6mm wx900 I play with during game play.

I know the both the Mezz wx700 and wx900 are hollowed. At least at the for the first handful of inches.

Let me define what I mean by "excessive english". It's meant to illustrate the amount a player uses english, in totality, for their chosen style of play. There are examples of when excessive can be used to describe a player opting to spin the CB off several rails rather then 1/2. I'm sure...

Not that I live in the hot bed of pool talent in NA, but if you took a look at the equipment used by the upper crust in my neck of the woods. None of them are using CF. I have personally witnessed some of them switch to CF and come back to wood. "None" is an absolute word, so let me rephrase...

I believe the argument is being made based on the process before the shot with excessive english. Something lead up to the max english requirement. Those with the max english is ok mentality, are playing the game wrong. It's also very likely that if faced with a shot requiring max english...

Until pool players evolve into beings without eyes, and become solely dependent on the numbers, there will never be a consensus, imo. Based on my spd and that of others local to me. I'd say "shortstops" start at 700 spd. ...and even then they might be a bit of an underdog against the player...

Good call... I revisited it However according to the "medium" which is typically considered "fair" contest. If my opponent is going to 9, then I'm going to 8. The 677 vs 726 comparison is drawn from a match up between me and the local top dog. No way, he'd be willing to give me 2 on the...

I understand... My venture into LD was on the used market. Both with my OG 314 and then the Z2 I used for a very long time. It pained me to pay a new cue price for my OG Falcon plain butt w/ solid maple. Cue's for me where always about function, not form. Fast forward a couple of decades...

I'll never own CF... No hate. Just don't see the value vs cost. That said, I'd never buy a solid maple either. The drilled out design of the wx900 checks all the boxes for me.
