A lot of unsubstantiated claims have been getting thrown around regarding Predator's set format for the World 10-ball Championship, so I decided to take a look at the actual data and find out the truth. The first claim I wanted to tackle: the set format leads to a lot more upsets than a single...

Obviously unplayed. Exactly 30" from the black pad under the tip to the end of the shaft. Still has the Predator sticker on it but it DOES NOT come with the "V" decal. I can confirm it is a Vantage partial and you can see the tip size in the photos. Has the tiniest of roll in the center...

I just got back from a two week trip in China to play in the latest JOY Billiard's Heyball Masters Tour event. It was an all expenses paid trip, my first time playing in an international competition, and a completely eye opening experience. The quick summary The events in China are massive...

What a year this man is having. Here's the stream of the final vs Ko Ping Chung: It was a smaller prize pool, but very solid field. Brackets can be found at https://challonge.com/Stage2_AdultGroup

I was watching some recent Heyball tournament videos and just came across a player asking for a video review, which I've never seen before. (Start at 2:20 if the video doesn't already take you there) I'm amazed that he did it right as his opponent got on the 8 and his opponent didn't bat an...

I feel like on average, the Shurtz cues sell for around 3x less than the ones he made under his own name. Is there something about the production process that changed? Or something else?

Last event I played, I got third and didn't tip (didn't realize this was a thing). Got a text from the TD saying "don't forget to tip next time". Looked up some old threads on here and it looks like tipping 5-10% is reasonable, does that sound right? And is that % of tournament winnings or...

I know it sounds silly but I had to ask. Is it possible for a cuemaker or repair person to add an inch and change a shaft from 29" to 30"?

Predator Z3 with a 5/16x18 joint is the ideal but I'm open to other joints and cuemakers/manufacturers. Must be 30".

Selling this very nice Carolina Custom. Unplayed - I got this from a defunct dealer that said it was new old stock. Located in NYC. Beautiful orange-ish red paduak wood with silver rings, linen wrap, and mother of pearl inlays in the buttsleeve. The ferrule appears to be micarta. In the photos...

Looking to buy a Predator Z3 shaft in a 5/16x18 joint. Used condition is fine. 30" length is preferred. Could also be interested in other 30" wood LD shafts in the 11.75 - 12mm range, such as OB Pro+, Mezz WX900, Jacoby Ultra Pro, etc, if they have a 5/16x18 joint.

Surprised nobody has posted a thread about this yet. 64 players and only 4 higher than 790 Fargo, but a Matchroom ranking event nonetheless. We're now down to the final 8. Edward Koyongian, the favorite with a 823 rating, has already been knocked out. Here's the bracket...

You can see the entire list in this spreadsheet here. Some takeaways Of the top 100, 46 players use wood, 53 use carbon fiber, and 1 uses fiberglass (Skylar Woodward) Wood is way more popular than CF in Asia. For example, 8/10 Taiwanese pros and 20/30 Filipino pros on the list use wood Carbon...

Hi all, I picked up two Carolina Customs merry widows recently, one goncalo alves and one "cocobolo", but it doesn't look like any cocobolo I've ever seen. Can any of you identify the wood? It almost looks like goncalo alves too, just with less figure and a lighter color. Or maybe bloodwood...

Hi all, I'm selling a 30" Mezz Expro shaft with a uniloc joint and a thin black collar. The shaft is straight and clean. Condition notes There is minimal discoloration on the ferrule and shaft There is a slight amount of wear on the thin black collar The shaft has the tiniest amount of...

Now that both Bill Stroud and Dan Janes are gone, is there anyone left that could authenticate/write a COA for a Joss West? Inspiration behind my question is this eBay post here...

Brackets here: http://spba.org.cn/match/tz2024/mindex.htm Only 7 Chinese pros, with Dang Jinhu being the only one I recognize. Anyone know why Wu Jiaqing and Liu Haitao aren't in?

Just noticed he played in the Felt qualifier yesterday: https://digitalpool.com/tournaments/felt-2024-us-open-qualifier-saturday/bracket Does he really not get an invite? Did he not sign the Matchroom contract or something?

29", 12mm Kamui S tip United joint, fits 5/16x14 joints as well Comes with a black plastic joint protector Like the title says, it's been used twice. Flawless and would pass as new if the tip didn't have chalk marks on it. $210 shipped in CONUS. Paypal or Venmo are both accepted.
