    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.

    Eliminating / minimizing english has helped my game

    I think changing game around, adjusting things is part of anyone learning curve. I myself did this also. started play fancy pool with a lot of english, needless to say I used an LD then. Then I switched to custom cue and played a non-LD shaft, tried to minimize spin, it's like starting to...

    mezz power break 2 vs predstor bk3 (if u had to choose)

    you are spot on about the tip Ralf, I cant say enough about how much i hate the sonic tip. changed to Samsara tip on my friend's mezz breaker and it's the beast now. sadly I gave him my last samsara and dont have one for my cue now. about BK3 vs PB2, I find the mezz to be a harder cue, breaks...

    Full Splice vs. Regular Cues

    I do share this with you, I am not sure why, definitely not the "feel" factor but when I play with my fullsplice sugartree I got to a higher level of finesse and cue ball accuracy than other cue

    Full Splice vs. Regular Cues

    I have 1 cored cue by wes hunter, 1 fullsplice by eric crisp and 1 a-jointed cue by eric crisp (with uncored forearm and handle). honestly I loved them all and got on well with all of them after a few months play. with eric and wes allegedly share there shaft wood, I would say the difference in...

    Dealing with Slow Players

    I used to be annoyed by slow play, not anymore now, everyone has their tempo and I have mine, when I am at the table I play my tempo, that's it.
