    Fedor’s “new” chalk…

    I am using the pagulayan Alex gave me. But I’m not short of a lifetime supply of chalks… 😂 Lucky enough people give them to me, otherwise I’d use whatever’s at the hall tbh

    Fedor’s “new” chalk…

    25$ and 40$ for two apparently 😂 I’d sell you HC for $10 + shipping Constantly dumbfounded by the new colour, new shape, new ‘tech’ people lap up in this game

    Fedor’s “new” chalk…

    Anyone at the expo got an idea how much he’s selling that for? It’s just rebranded “Hola Champion” chalk… From 3$ a piece on Taobao to… “place your guesses here”

    AZB Appreciation...

    Access to some websites has been moderated on my work intranet, and I can now access Reddit with no VPN (annoyingly, I need to use one to get on here...) Though I don't post there, I started using the platform to look at some other interests and hobbies, peering into r/billiards from time to...

    2026 JOY Heyball Grand Masters Finals

    That was a decent read. Wish I could get the time away from work to compete in more things.

    2026 JOY Heyball Grand Masters Finals

    Perhaps, I only have experience playing on 9 or 10ft American tables. Played on lots of Chinese tables, and I prefer newer Duya spec tables (and playing 9ball, rather than 8ball). Rasson do American tables immaculately, but their Chinese tables are... meh. Joy tables are nice to be honest, but I...

    2026 JOY Heyball Grand Masters Finals

    I think Joy has set standards for all tournaments. Duya standards differ slightly (I like that they squared off the jaws a little, much more interesting to watch than Chinese 8-ball. Refuse to call it "heyball" - it's supposed to mix Chinese and English together 黑 for black and ball. Sounds dumb...

    2026 JOY Heyball Grand Masters Finals

    Nah, it's the food, and the fact it's too hard. Same reason Fedor doesn't give it a real bash. When he was in Shanghai, Josh basically ate pizza and pasta the whole time (so did the rest of the Germans for that matter lol)

    Does anyone know Wayne Yates from Mechanicville, VA

    Similar happened to me with a shaft here in China using Xianyu. I sold it to a person, who had clearly bought it without paying attention to the required thread of his butt. I had explicitly said no returns in the add, and provided pictures of the shaft on my end in detail. He damaged the shaft...

    On the off chance…

    Yes, love playing in Vietnam. If you find the right hall, you can be in heaven. There’s high level. There’s the other end of the spectrum too. Well, Phnom Penh and Siem Reap should have something. On the lookout. Chinese or American table isn’t a bother.

    On the off chance…

    Anyone knows a decent place to play in Cambodia? Here for a couple weeks for a friends wedding. Just curious if anyone has been or knows a good spot to play a few lazy racks.

    Pagulyan Carbon Fiber shaft?

    Got given a few pieces of blue and it plays alright. I found it to be quite soft in the beginning, and was worried I would get through it quickly, but as I got down to the wrapper, it's become a bit more resilient. Used it for 3/4 months now, and it will easily last me a year or longer at this...

    Rasson Table owners? any regrets?

    I’m at my club now and can’t really tell, screenprinted or painted. If it’s a decal it’s realllllllly thin.

    Pagulyan Carbon Fiber shaft?

    In Shanghai and Xiamen you can easily find American pool. Shanghai/Xiamen being the main American table stalwarts. To a lesser extent, Nanjing, Guangzhou, Chongqing, I see with growing scenes (or co-operating with businesses in Shanghai/Xiamen). There are other areas too, but Chinese Billiards...

    Pagulyan Carbon Fiber shaft?

    He's very popular in Asia, and especially China, and the market is already fixated on other things. He cannot meet the price needed to obtain a valid market share. It's the same with all the products he sells, right down to the chalk. Ding Jun Hui has the market there, so why bother. He comes to...
