I vaguely remember someone (maybe Mark White) saying it was his nephew also.

If someone asks me what I remember about Fu from watching this event, I would say "makes the extremely difficult shots, misses or scratches on relatively easy shots and jumps the table a lot for breaks and jump shots." She needs some fine tuning after her layoff from the game. Oh, by the way...

That's what I thought... that the Apex is being used with 4 1/8" corners. For some reason, one commentator keeps saying it's the Predator ARC being used. I also saw a Facebook comment from Darren Appleton that the ARC is the perfect table guessing that he is also thinking that the ARC is...

What table are they playing on in St. Louis - current tournament? I heard a commentator saying it's the Predator ARC and another saying it's the Predator Apex. I thought the ARC had the gold lining pockets and the Apex had the black lining like the ones in this tournament. I note that the...

I personally don't mind him even though he has a kinda sleepy voice. His best line was that they should have switched around the names for FU/Bergman in the score template for the doubles 😆

Cinderella and the Prince going to the dance tomorrow night! What a match! I literally got a headache watching in disbelief 😆 🤣

According to Wikipedia, Albin won the 8 ball last year but never won 10 ball.

Why do you have to add the tenths for the banks relative to kicks (e.g. 4 to 2 for kicks and 4.4 to 2 for banks)? Was this developed through practice or is there a "physics" explanation for it?

It would be a good if someone can ask Karim about his revenue stream on a Podcast. Someone did ask him about the number of employees and he was willing to answer, but he might be more reluctant on revenues - doesn't hurt to ask though. Karim said that he would like to see prize money in the...

Annual revenues of $6 million is not enough to cover salary for 200 employees worldwide and expenditures. Predator does not make its income statement available so I would not give much credence to Internet search values. The same internet search says that the carbon fiber market is about $400...

Not sure what kind of marketing research these pool promoters do, but I think there has to be 99.9999% agreement that it is brutal to watch pro players ducking the Predator ARC side pocket. Hopefully, Predator will use good sense and redesign that pocket. Granted that you cannot satisfy...

4" is what I heard the commentators say. I don't know if they were correct. Edit: I take that back. Let me check back. Ok, the commentators said the pockets were 4 1/8" corners and 4 1/2" center.

The Predator ARC table with the 4" side pocket seems to be unplayable even at the pro level. You can see players avoiding it if they can. Can the pocket be cut differently and still maintain the 4" width?

From what I understand, pool only took off in Vietnam after Covid in 2020. I understand that the Vietnamese Federation claim that it's the reason for the rise. Not sure if we have a Vietnamese on this site who can shed some light on this.

I don't spend much time following pool to speak as an authority. However, I know that Matchroom didn’t discover pool potential in Vietnam. If I remember correctly, I think Matchroom initially wanted to call it Vietnam Open and was forced to change it to Hanoi Open. I cannot answer the...

Some watch the game for pure entertainment while others prefer to see tactical display of professional talents. I prefer a more difficult game where someone can run a 3 pack over one where they run a 6 pack on buckets. The same reason why I prefer 10 ball over 9 ball. However, I am not...

How can you prove that Predator is responsible for clashing the dates for the Mosconi? Matchroom cannot say that the Mosconi will be in November and expect Predator to wait for the actual dates to be announced before scheduling events in November ... Karim alluded to this by saying that...

I suggest that you Google and listen to all the Podcasts Karim Belhaj participated in so you can hear directly from the "horse's mouth." Predator does not see WNT as a competitor for viewership. In fact, it is in Predator's interest to flood WNT events with all its best players so it can get...

From listening to Podcasts Karim Belhaj did, I got the sense that he was not onboard with a 9 ball only tour. He wanted 10 ball tournaments and also wanted to promote women pool.
