if you have not heard of or played with a Joey B cue, you are missing a lot the Dunkel is no pushover either playing cues for good prices here

haha are you in Hanoi or HCMC, we may have known each other :D

those are billiards game, right? years back when there were more carom tables in Hanoi, I saw ppl play that a lot, now, much fewer carom tables in Hanoi. the game may still be played in HCMC.

I think we wont see Shaw get on the table vs Shane or Dennis anytime soon. Earlier Alex was calling out for a race 100 9ball, Shaw said on fb he was getting the money together, and no update since then. Of the top dogs, there are not many who would jump in a long 100 race, lets name, Shane...

Yes you are correct maha and realkingcobra, in the case of USA. In Vietnam, a majority of players play a local game, where players are dealt a certain a number of cards, they shoot the ball representing that card and gets rewarded for potting in the side pockets. That is how pool has been here...

yes that is the standard, pockets are cut like that, and we normally avoid the side pockets and play position for corner pockets more, but the way I see it, matches on youtube, players do not noticeably play for more to the side. It would look like some tables at Hard Times Billiards. game...

Thanks for the explanation. The way Dealers look at the question is quite different from Buyers imo. The argument "you would not get hit much financially trying to get out of SW" is not generally true. I have friends who bought SW's for a fortune, keeping them in shape, years later they tried...

I wonder, how many cues they make each year, an accurate estimate pls. based on that, and ppl still have to wait 13years, then how many SW on the market? I am pretty sure there are no shortage in supply to drive the price high.

Hi Matt, It is always glad to learn about pool rooms running by great pool people. Sad story about Vietnamese pool scene, there are a great number of pool rooms, but just a handful run by pool people, most by investors who dont know the game and the players, who just look at profit and loss...

Are the makers at SW command high prices for cues right off the shop, or are dealers pricing at a good margin?

Thanks for sharing, Matt. I do believe the same, when more and more players can shoot, there must be a line to separate a better player and lesser ones, even in the shortest races of sets, those who can work with tighter pockets and still maintain good positioning must be better than those who...

Yes, that was the pockets for WPC 2014, I believe Doha still setting up tables like this for the WPC. wide pocket, but the shelf is deep though. I kind of 50/50 on this, we have a local game that reward players for every ball they pocket to the side, most of us grew up playing pool like that...

I cant understand too. PI and TW players came here to play and they said tough tables actually limit VN players' chance of doing better in international tournaments. Cloth aside, needs to be new, but I believe pro players should play on tough tables with narrow pockets and deep shelves.

I took this comparison of pocket size. on the left is the pockets for World 9ball Championship 2014, on the right is pockets we play 8ball, 9ball, 10ball, 14.1 in Vietnam. We have tables for local games (pool with cards) on which pockets are even more unforgiving. just sharing :)
