    Dynaspheres Factory and Manufacturing

    The balls are cleaned everyday at the hall. Maybe it's what they are cleaned with? I don't know. But It seems like Dynasphere get mucky faster. I am not saying they are bad, or that I dislike them. Just that I feel like they become grubby faster. I have a set of my own platinum balls at the...

    Dynaspheres Factory and Manufacturing

    There are a couple of sets with different colour patterns. The Japanese version of the platinum set is used by one of the big hall franchises in the city. Every time I go there I seem to get confused. All sixes and sevens to me... Literally, need to stop and ask myself is this the 6 or the 7 😂...

    Dynaspheres Factory and Manufacturing

    Dynasphere seem to be the go to competition balls where I am living. They play alright, and I don't think they are too disgusting to look at. They have a deal with the hall I usually practice at. I prefer to play and practice with the Aramith balls they have there, reason being, that they tend...

    Custom and High End Cues on the Decline?

    You can specify all of these things, but they likely already are prepared somewhere. I mean, you can ask Zen (仁杆) for just about anything you want, but most of what they are going to push to you is going to be selecting from parts they already have partially prepared. I would describe this as...

    Mosconi cup SOLUTION

    Gary Oldman used to play the part of a psychopath quite well - bit past his prime now, sadly

    Chinese 9 Ball

    They're quite 'dynamic' with rule changes, like policy in the Middle Kingdom, so hopefully it works out soon to something a little less time consuming in the future. Till then you have some butts to enjoy lol

    Mosconi cup SOLUTION

    Mosconi Cup solution = 3 parts of play better pool + 1 cup of don't choke the 9ball + a sprinkling of not being so wet (per 100ml of play)

    Chinese 9 Ball

    Chinese 9-ball is F lit. I recommend ignoring a large portion of the event and tuning in from the business end. Insanely good pool, and the pace of play isn't that bad.

    Custom and High End Cues on the Decline?

    My observations here in China, would be that mass produced (in a new colour every season), and what I would call "Factory custom" are heavily outweighing true handmade, custom built cues. There is aggressive marketing from influencers and 'experts' There used to be a steady and observable...

    Mosconi Cup 2025, Dec. 3-6, Alexandra Palace, London

    Define subtle, because I would replace that with more suitable words, such as; cataclysmic, catastrophic, enormous

    FSR 2026 #1?

    FSR is phenomenal to watch when he's in flow. One of the players that made me really get into pool and take my pool more seriously.

    Never has there been a more appropriate time to use the word 'guff'

    Good question, genuinely curious. All I have seen so far are Cuetec rests painted in different colours

    I found that quite funny coming from the biggest gimp in pool 😂 This was also hilarious 😂

    can you explain please this break shot by Yapp?

    Ah, I see, the cue is misaligned to the burn mark. That's what you mean. The burn mark is the intended line of travel, meeting at the point I described above. The cue is attempting to point at the desired striking position on the CB. As mentioned above, It's a hard stun, with a touch of outside...

    can you explain please this break shot by Yapp?

    I thought I was being helpful 😂 I can try draw some lines on later. You mean you want to see the lines through to the end of the table? Maybe it's just not the best photo, was hard to hold the cue steady with one hand, and picture with the other lol It’s not different, simply quite heavily...

    can you explain please this break shot by Yapp?

    As described, looking to go in and out to the rail at a straighter line to the 9 with more speed. This can be achieved with tip aligned with the meeting between 1-ball, and second row, through the ball with a slight flourish of the arm toward the outside (though not all of those players can be...
