    MR format racking preferences

    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...

    Abundance of new chalk 'flavours'...

    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...

    15 racks…

    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...

    An event I’d watch…

    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...

    Yuan8 open match update

    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.

    New TP glove

    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...

    High point 9ball, no break box, 3point rule, advice wanted

    Practicing for an upcoming event, new cloth, 4” tables, 3point rule. Haven’t played high point with no box in a while. Usually, playing the CB off the side rail back to center table, taking the one, and usually the wing ball. Had to take a step back yesterday, and remember old cloth on the...

    Take all of the weight out of your break cue

    Do it now. Not sure why it's in there to begin with.

    Rasson Wolf

    The hall I play at is always working to develop their game. They have just renovated another store (the one they host domestic/local tournaments at), which means all three of their halls are renovated within the last year. It is about halve the size of the one I often play at, but it is awesome...

    For Fatboy

    ...and other orange ball enthusiasts. Got sent this by a friend. Produced by 5boro NYC. Probably pick one up to go with the board collection (some hometown boards, one pic I had printed on a board from North Korea, some from the Shanghai scene, A couple other Cuesport related special editions)...

    New ferrule

    I'm no expert in anything, but love seeing how things are done or having a little go myself. Replaced the ferrule on my ILC shaft (the guy let me help and pretend I am capable 🤣 ) The older XTC ferrule had protruded slightly... Now it has a nice flush Melamine with a thoroughbred tip on top. I...

    It should be a foul…

    If I have to see your ass crack… have belts increased in value?

    Wrap Q

    I noticed a little bit of give in the glue on the wrap near the bottom. It's causing a light crease in the leather/noticeable bump from time to time. I think the humidity here caused it to be honest. I was thinking to change it with white/navy speckled Irish linen. I assume this might be a...

    A nice find

    I was thinking to pick up a KW shaft, and I still might in the future - mainly for the fact that I bump, bruise and batter solid maple - the more I take care, the more I notice... (though these don't affect play, and make it recognizable as mine... If I had to name a positive). Carbon feels...

    Break Theatrics

    You watch Heyball or Duya, and you see some real empathetic body movements going into the break. I guess WPA 9ball can be added alongside those two, as a game where the ballet leg and upward thrust come into it. There are a handful of Chinese 8ball players with a break that is solid, powerful...
