I recall the shot and struggling to recall his opponent too. Maybe Dallas West?

I have wondered the same from watching Niels. I'm a straight arm guy and do worry about shoulder wear. But did try the arm on the table thing and it feels about as awkward as standing on one leg to shoot. I seemed like my head was over my tip!

I know what you mean. My girlfriend works for a Vietnamese family and the discourse among them can sound like a percussive machine gun rattle of soft 'a' sounds. Nonetheless, there is a big community of them in my part of Florida and they all seem like good human beings.

I like the looks of your with those dark tones. I pulled out my satin last night to rattle some balls, but that'a the extent of my South West experience.

I've long felt Matchroom's camera angle could be better, back to the 2004-2005 world championship events. It seems to make the table look smaller compared to Accu-stats and others.

Yeah but to be fair, there are so many rosewoods that somestimes the maker doesn't recall which it is. No way I could say with certainty what wood is in a few of mine.

Yeah easy to forget with all the US tournaments in August. But will say it is refreshing to see players having to kick now and then whenever they get hooked.

Or attend a LeMans classic event and listen to the Mazda 787 at the expense of your hearing.

I like the nostalgia there. F1 cars sound so unappealing now. The newer fans missed the V10 symphony we got to hear.

I seem to keep buying these pretty hunks of lumber with no visible improvement, but damnit I have hope on my side!

My ESPNU only has college volleyball as an option?

It's mostly the sound for me. I like some pingy tones in my cue. But not too pingy, which I've had in a few cues. To some, the sound means very little and I respect that. But I think almost everyone hates the sound of a miscue. On a different tangent, I might like one guitar player's tone...

Watched an hour or so last night and agree the gray cloth does not carry over well on TV. N. Oi played a draw shot and I thought the cue ball reaction looked weird; turns out it hit the rail and I couldn't see where the cloth and rail intersected.

Nice work as usual. Thought I read Quoc Hoang Duong was a late starter to the game, maybe in his 20s? Makes me think his ceiling his higher than the other 30somethings.

Thanks for all the updates on the tourney. I know sandstorms are a real thing but like many of us I have visions of some Mad Max like movie when hearing of them in real life. Maybe Matchroom can get Tom Hardy in some promo spots if they return to Yuma.

Yep, I was thinking along those lines too.

I love his stroke and this was some good content. But I'm not convinced of the tight grip observation. It looks 'tight' during practice strokes but I think we'd have to measure his grip pressure at tip contact to know for certain. Seem to remember Buddy Hall's grip hand looking similar to...

I was watching him shoot a stroke shot on social media recently and he definitely doesn't get down over the shot like he used to. It's expected given his age I guess. Having watching the FL Open this week, the prime guys in their 20-30s look so solid fundamentally when they get down.

My default thinking of new cloth colors was the financial incentive to sell more of it. But I can't see much return in that, i.e. wouldn't pool rooms replace cloth at the same frequency? Perhaps a small percentage would buy new cloth earlier for the new colors of the month.

What do you think you'd get for it though? $4k?
