I’d rather listen to Vietnamese rabbiting on than Phil Yates (+whoever they decide to chuck in with him at the time), rabbit on about nonsense. Surely there is someone more knowledgeable, and more charismatic?

Been a while since I posted an 'experience' here. The other night I had a chance to play with one of the better foreign guys who had been playing in the Duya in Qingdao. He's from the same neck of the world as me, and he was chilling in Shanghai waiting to move onto somewhere else. Humbling to...

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”

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...

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.

When players look down the line of the ball to check a safety, or snooker, when the next player is getting ready to, or is assessing the table, or even getting down on the shot. Some players run, dance and crouch over a safety played, or a ball that's hooked, when they should just sit the F...

11.8 - 12.2 - 12.6 Smells like a Mezz Ignite to me ;)

What’s the stupidest reason someone has given for welching out on pay? I was playing a low stakes set, 8-ball, and trounced the guy 9-1. Equivalent value of about 50$. Apparently, the chalk mark (which I hadn’t noticed) on my break cue is an aiming aid, and then classified it as cheating and a...

Two things: 1) I got a hairline crack in my Ignite G ferrule, and I am considering whether to have it repaired or to leave it. It doesn't currently affect the breaking, make any strange sound or anything like that. But I am concerned it is a problem waiting to happen. I can have it repaired for...

You found out some people you knew were logging into the cameras at a hall to watch matches you're playing in and making bets on the outcome. No intent to inform you, or have you be aware of the action?

With low point 9ball on the new table at a friends hall. He installed a Rasson Victory with sub-4” pockets. We played a few racks of high point with MR break box, but the spreads made the games HARD. Even 8ball is hard on this thing (easily harder than a Chinese table). We switched to low point...

Table next to me in the tourney had an interesting situation today. The player holding cue in hand, lined up a kick with tip to cushion, while pulling cue back his tip marked the cloth, he played the kick, and his opponent mentioned it to him. A few shots later, another situation needing a...

Racking the 2 ball at the back or wings of the rack has bee the requirement for a while now in this format. When playing 'rack your own' - casual/petty cash games - I used to favour putting it on the left wing, matching the side I am breaking from (Logic being that there was a possibility the...

There's a wave of new chalks all copying or emulating a mixture of TP and Taom (a lot with the same smaller square shape of Ding Jun Hui/Pagulayan becoming popular lately). All have one or more similarities with the other. From boxes, to soft-hard ratings. From octagonal Roku or Predator style...

Listing my case queen for any interest (in line with my belief I only need one cue, which I have and will keep forever. It was going to be this, but another great option wandered into my life) Larry Vigus - Purpleheart and Curly maple 3/8x10 Modified pin Butt: 15.7oz. 29" LV S1: 12.8mm 3.75oz...

Unaware it’s streamed? Or he simply dgaf? 😂

In a row, of high point, three point rule, no box 9ball (China open style) Have a video of Fedor at my local, making the game look too easy… Been so cool seeing Pagulayan, Ko bros, Yapp, Souto, Capito, Al-awadhi and many more going about their training. Watching their different approaches is...

Like a multi-cue sport event league. Probably expensive, annoying to organise and maintain. But certainly entertaining for fans of cue sports. Snooker, American table 9-ball, Chinese table 9-ball, 3-ball Carom, 235, English billiards etc Some kind of points system to work out “Lord of the...

Just went to support a few friends briefly last night. Set-up is awesome, just like last year. Can get a few pics next time I go, but won’t pop in again til finals. Here’s the current match list. Original image was hard to upload, so hope it is readable.

Looking forward to try this later on today when I get some time to shoot. Fits well, and in variety of sizes. I wear an L here, and they recommend to trim the fingers to size, but I got big hands so no need for me. Fits a little tight, but told it gives a little. No strap and no stitching of the...
