    Shane calls a foul on himself

    I must say I dont have a slight surprise to learn of what Shane did. I witnessed the same thing in a big tournament here in Vietnam last year. My mentor (former national champion) called a foul on himself in a knock out match (vs. Aloysius Yapp of Singapore). Aloy did not notice, even the ref...

    So there's THREE generations of 314.... Help

    I have not tried the new shafts as I dont want to, but I have beard positive feedbacks about the Vantage shafts, most Predator players at pool hall I play at, pros and amateurs, have switched to the Vantage and swear by them, my mentor sells Predator shafts and says Vantage sells like hot cakes...

    10 ball rule question

    I had the same incident when played tournament a while back. I was leading 8-7 in race to 9. it was the semi final. I had a long shot on the 5 and it hanged at the jaws, I could not believe how it hanged but when my opponent shot, the 5 fell before cueball touched it and cueball fell into the...

    What's up with Efren's cue in this video?

    I have seen many pros wrap their cues with tennis or badminton racket wraps. I myself prefers decal paper lol

    Scruggs Sneaky Playing Cues

    my pool mate has an old old Scruggs sneaky and a new Frey sneaky, and I would strongly disagree with those who said Frey is better. it may be the case with the 2 particular cues I tried but the Frey is far inferior with inferior wood.

    Bad Problem with John Showman, (Cue Stolen)

    sorry to learn of your bad experience Mike. Too bad a master cue maker would be like this. the more i read about ppl speaking up their bad experience with cue maker, the more I feel lucky for the years I have been collecting cues and appreciate my connections with some great ppl here on AzB...

    JB "Nightshade" 4x8 Butterfly case - black leather - Excellent Condition!

    great case Bobby. I owned a butterfly myself and know how nice and functional they are. Just that I am not looking to buy a case at the moment. and I would not look beyond a JB anyway :)

    Shane Van Boening -CHAMPION.

    So true, Shane played superb through out the tournament and only lost to Pool God. a clear example of "you can play perfect pool and still lose", the better performer did not win. Ko deserves great credit also having ousted on-fire Wu and managed break-and-runs at crucial points in the final...

    Shane Runs Over Dennis

    he missed a few in the whole tournament :grin: but he has been the most offensive player, others tend to choose defense so quickly Wu Jiaqing has been brilliant recently also, I hope it will be Shane vs. Wu in the final

    Shane Runs Over Dennis

    8:15, why dont they just cut the rack to remove it then use another for the rest of the match? https://youtu.be/IrhtdYDvwks?t=494

    Johann Chua. What a beast!!

    It's true Lee Vann is, or was, sponsored by Diveney, but I these 2 pics were taken in the recent China Open, it does look like SW to me. the argument of LD vs custom has been for long now, and I have the exact opposite thoughts against the pro you mentioned, I think it's the indian, and the...

    Fitting a LD shaft on Judd Fuller n Jeff Olney 3-8-10

    I had a Judd Fuller sneaky pete and I can honestly say it was very easy to control cue ball, cue ball movement and action was so wasy. Judd cue does have a thinner joint than most and it's true Pred or Mezz shafts are fatter at joint. my advice is dont bother LD shafts, your cue ball action...

    Johann Chua. What a beast!!

    he does play money matches, even, with top Phi players and have won and lost. he is ranked 9th in WPA ranking which is higher than Orcullo :thumbup: fact is he is not exposed to international scene and has not travel much for tournaments. last year he said he wanted to go to US in 2015, we all...

    2015 China Open 9ball (2-5 July2015) Shanghai

    true it's Chang Jung Lin. Yang Ching Shun made a come back this time, but he could not qualify from the 3-day qualifying round. qualifying round is tough, each day around 128 players play consecutive knock out matches until last men standing (2 for each first 2 days and 4 for the third day)...

    Efren Reyes' playing cue

    FYI, this the older cue in his Efren Bata Reyes series made for him by Cosmo. I read that he was under contract with Mezz/Cosmo so he had to use the BEM plain in major tours.
