I never had any real problems with him, but he seemed like a bit of a loose cannon. He's not around pool much these days, so your fear of forehead reconstruction is likely unwarranted :thumbup:

Maybe you should meet Joe B first...

Stunning work. By the way, it's 'Fleur de lis' :grin:

If by 'whole world', you mean North America and parts of Europe, then yes. How about Cleopatra?

I know a lot of Mandarin speakers... and they pronounce it 'Bay-jing' :D The only people I've heard refer to Beijing as Peking are European tourists or old colonialists. Most of the Japanese folks I've encountered avoid referring to Beijing at all ;)

That was a fantastic match; thanks for linking it. Dear snooker commentators, 'Beijing' is pronounced 'Bay-Jing'. Do make a little effort, please: China is the future of the game.

This thread is great. I only have one to offer, but I've seen this guy in every pool hall I've spent some time in... The Employee works at the pool hall, is probably in his late 30s (rumored to be much older), and has a name like Steve. You never see him on a table, but it is widely...

As above, wenge. Very nice.

Looks much like how I show up for work - minus the cars, crowds, and fancy footwear.

Two for me. I'm not much of a 9-ball player. Although, I'm not much good at any other cue game, either.

Ditto. But for pool, a 9-foot is fine. I've played billiards on a 10-foot table, but not pool.

You neglected: "A bit pacey, a bit PACEY" and "What can you say..." :grin-square:

I haven't played in a tournament in years, but when I was younger - and working in a pool hall - I played in everything I could afford, mostly for the experience of it all. I never snapped off a win in a major tournament, but I made a few established players uncomfortable a few times, and...

No league play for me, either. Nothing against it, but if I have an opportunity to play pool, I prefer 14.1. Not too many leagues (none) for that game in my neck of the woods.

Yes, pretty unique. Pretty spendy, too, at around $1350.00. Hope they are comfortable.

Ah, thanks for the clarification.

Nice payout. 300,000 CNY = ~ $47,000.00 Pin-Yi is a great shotmaker. Yang can play much better than he did here. He's a killer for the cash.

I bought a plain Falcon in Saskatoon in 1994, and it was my main player for about 8 years. Picked up a 4 pointer, a WS3, in 2002 in Calgary. Both cues are great, and no plans to get rid of them. I haven't tried the overseas offerings.

Yup, I like. I like very much.

Nice to see Dott knock in a century. Whenever I watch him, he seems to struggle. Maybe it's me:p
