for Hanoi Open, it's been the practicr from the first year - refs rack only - refs clean cue ball only by their gloves after each rack - after the day they only use gloves or clean towel to clean the set of balls I dont believe J Chua did the wax last year, evident showed om that match...

I believe Marcel relied on over-the-top camera angle, even used the slow-mo from that, and in a slomo replay it showed to hit the 4 first, but that was wrong 1. over the top camera is not a slomo camera, it only reach 60fps max, even lower... while slomo camera should be 240fps or even more...

I agree, but we have seen Marcel made similarly bad calls

new 2025 WPA rules, simultaneous hit is deemed good hit and per new WNT rules, which based on WPA rules, benefit of the doubt goes to the shooter when it is so close to call I read these set of rules last week

I believe the ref could not tell, so they treated it as if the cue ball hit both the 4 and 9 at the same time, or gave the shooter benefit of the doubt

feel bad for Max Lechner, he has been playing so well in this tournament I messaged the ref right away, he was the one who called foul on Shaw at Peri Open last week, he said he was not sure, and he paused the match and consulted ref Marcel, after reviewing a few times, Marcel said it's good...

it's nice to meet @Rocket354 at the venue

there are 2 POV to look at this yes you can say Reyes is a WIP and they can do things they deem necessary to boost the image, they change the selection criteria and even format, but they also do that with the Mosconi Cup way I see it, Reyes is a WIP, so they will profit in the long term by...

I personally believe picking AJ will prove a mistake Matchroom has been promoting their ranking, their order of merit... and they are going against it earlier this year, they announced the truce with WPA, but it seems they will never get over it... if they call for players' freedom then they...

guys, about the shot clock an referees, there is only dedicated refs on TTV table T1 and T2 refs only do racking, and watch the sensitive shots if the players request... however the players can spot fouls from the opponent and request a ruling, in this case livestream replays can be used (if...

Matchroom reserves the right to broadcast on WNTTV and youtube with clean source, but only WNTTV have graphics, and they only do commentary on TTV Vietcontent reserves the right to livestream on youtube but only to certain Asian countries and territories... sorry for your experience

see you tonight, or tomorrow... there are 2 rest rooms on 2 wings of the venue no worries, it's an indoor gymnasium, and tons of doors and exits, Matchroom just requesting to cover them so no sunlight get in, I was in the organizing crew last year, I know this

I will be there in the last 2 days to do commentary, would love to meet you

it's the 3rd flood in Hanoi in more than a month, 3-4 storms back to back, it's been tough luckily this time it's been raining for 1 day only, the the flood was drained quicker than the last 2 times, when it took 3 days to get better play is underway, I will be at the venue for evening session

Yes, I am aware his cues are sought after, have a good market and prices have gone up, but if you can find a good affordable one on the market, take it. I have been following Pampi Pamplona who also follows Joey's building method, his cues are within 1000 range

I am surprised no one mention Joey Bautista cues, imo Joey makes the best plain janes/merry widows with superb seasoned wood, shafts and building method for 1000-1500 you can pick up a cue with BEM, if anyone parts with it

have you tried rolling the shaft with 2 finger pressing at the shaft wall? different points, you may feel that. I noticed that with cuetec cynergy, both break and play shafts, peri, jflowers smo... but not with revo's I agree the minor thing the op noticed, and what I noticed, may not affect...

it's not uncommon, the inconsistency of carbon fiber shafts... I have seen shafts with inconsistent specs, from Cuetec, JFlowers, Peri, How,... many of them are not round tubes, deviates at many points along the shaft, you can feel it when rolling the shaft at different points against your...

one must-do thing for me when doing commentary is that to focus on the screen, even when I have views of the table, I would take a look only when I need to see difficult angles... we do social commentary so reading comments are also necessary to communicate with viewers, but still the main...

thank you for the superb detailed stats, again. I watched a lot and noticed on Diamond tables in the US, players tend to break better, but on Rasson, especially at World Pool Championship, the 1 ball hit the middle pocket jaws A LOT. Matchroom may have made the middle pockets at WPC a bit...
