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...

That was a decent read. Wish I could get the time away from work to compete in more things.

Perhaps, I only have experience playing on 9 or 10ft American tables. Played on lots of Chinese tables, and I prefer newer Duya spec tables (and playing 9ball, rather than 8ball). Rasson do American tables immaculately, but their Chinese tables are... meh. Joy tables are nice to be honest, but I...

I think Joy has set standards for all tournaments. Duya standards differ slightly (I like that they squared off the jaws a little, much more interesting to watch than Chinese 8-ball. Refuse to call it "heyball" - it's supposed to mix Chinese and English together 黑 for black and ball. Sounds dumb...

Nah, it's the food, and the fact it's too hard. Same reason Fedor doesn't give it a real bash. When he was in Shanghai, Josh basically ate pizza and pasta the whole time (so did the rest of the Germans for that matter lol)

+1 for thoroughbred, one of the best recommendations I've had from this forum

Similar happened to me with a shaft here in China using Xianyu. I sold it to a person, who had clearly bought it without paying attention to the required thread of his butt. I had explicitly said no returns in the add, and provided pictures of the shaft on my end in detail. He damaged the shaft...

Kamui Sai Hard. Fantastic Tip.

Thanks, let’s see

Yes, love playing in Vietnam. If you find the right hall, you can be in heaven. There’s high level. There’s the other end of the spectrum too. Well, Phnom Penh and Siem Reap should have something. On the lookout. Chinese or American table isn’t a bother.

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.

Got given a few pieces of blue and it plays alright. I found it to be quite soft in the beginning, and was worried I would get through it quickly, but as I got down to the wrapper, it's become a bit more resilient. Used it for 3/4 months now, and it will easily last me a year or longer at this...

I’m at my club now and can’t really tell, screenprinted or painted. If it’s a decal it’s realllllllly thin.

In Shanghai and Xiamen you can easily find American pool. Shanghai/Xiamen being the main American table stalwarts. To a lesser extent, Nanjing, Guangzhou, Chongqing, I see with growing scenes (or co-operating with businesses in Shanghai/Xiamen). There are other areas too, but Chinese Billiards...

He's very popular in Asia, and especially China, and the market is already fixated on other things. He cannot meet the price needed to obtain a valid market share. It's the same with all the products he sells, right down to the chalk. Ding Jun Hui has the market there, so why bother. He comes to...

As I mentioned above, after a little thought, it is like other aspects of the table; cloth, pocket size/depth/facing etc. That contribute to its perceived easier play compared to the 9ft tables I mostly play on. I also think that the hall would be doing themselves a disservice to get rid of this...

He spent a long time on social media last year saying "sOmEtHiNg BiG iS cOmInG" While he rubbed off 'Aaron the pool shark' This is probably it... Seems a lot of players have figured out how easy it is to pay a Chinese speaking agent to take them to Mordor, like the greedy little hobitses they are.

That sounds like an interesting table to play on! I think that perhaps the other factors, such as; the rails, cloth, pocket size/depth/facing, all likely contribute to why this 10ft table feels easier than the tables I usually play on. Hopefully the situation allows you to get it out and get...

That's awesome, certainly jealous. I would say it's a mixed consensus on the considered difficulty where I live. But to be honest, the 10ft is not used to its full potential here. They will likely get rid of it soon. Many preferring to play on 9ft Rassons. Personally, I think it would be a...
