Chang Jun Lin
- Thread starter Cuebuddy
- Start date
I met Chang at the 2010 Qatar Open. He had an engaging personality and we soon struck up a friendship. He had been the World Junior Champion and then he spent two years dominating the Guinness Asian Tour virtually winning at will. But he wasn’t doing that great in other events and had not secured enough points on the relevant ranking list to get a place in the 2011 World 8 Ball.
So I gave him a promoter’s wild card and sponsored him. He finished 5th and this gained him an entry into The Japan Open, the Beijing Open and the 2012 World 8 Ball. He won them all.
He is certainly in the top five players in the world today in playing ability and character too and I am proud of his performance this week.

Those two jumps in the finals were alone worth the stream price
CJL.was.up 3-0, then they changed fhe rack template.
Did they actually shake hands? It looks like Chang turns away before shaking.
It looks like he purposely pulled a fast one on Shane. What, is he 10 years old? The only thing missing was after pulling his hand away was running it through his hair.
I respectfully disagree, Terry.
The guy who wins the B side has to prove his mettle by taking the longer road to the final and once he and the winner of the A side meet there, I don't mind the extended game single race format.
As for JL Chang, he was great to watch and I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot more of him. Aside from his regular shotmaking brilliance, he sure put on a jump clinic at The Open. :thumbup:
Shane beat a real killer. :thumbup:
best,

I'm guessing there was some reason within that particular match (looks like World 9 Ball, maybe 2014 QF's?) for bad blood. Shane and Chang's hug yesterday after the end of the final betrayed no such animosity.
In the heat of battle, I'm sure that anyone could get a little heated during the match. But to extend your hand, only to then pull it back, it a bit over the top and childish.

if you watch the match, he does try to reach back with his left hand. he was pissed and embarrassed over scratching. he seems like an ok guy.
Yeah, he did show a fun side in this year's Open. I'm sure he's an okay guy overall.
Yeah something must have occurred in that match. I looked it up on YouTube and Chang scratched on a jump that might have gotten him to the hill. The handshake was actually a concession. After the clip where he does not shake SVB'S hand he does hand him something with his left hand, maybe chalk.
We are all missing the bigger picture with that brief clip, the before and after probably clarify some things a bit and it seems SVB and Chang themselves are over it, which is a little more important than angsty posters on AZB wanting to fan the flames on it.
I don't always trust the WEB.
I saw NO trace of that attitude in Chang in the US Open....a class act.
I watched the match. It's not edited. I think maybe he was starting to cry and wanted to save face and get the f#ck out of there. He was acting like a legitimate nut while breaking his cues down.
since it was rack your own, i don't think anyone would have argued against him using his preference.
the rack should function as intended, if possible.
You are talking like a child and making mountains out of molehills
Look at the video https://youtu.be/TZLChchoP7I?t=5967
He scratched, extended his right hand to Shane and turned and walked toward his chair at same time while Shane was on his left. Shane extended his hand and by that time it was awkward to shake with his right hand so he did with his left as Shane was on his left
+1
Hey, I was just going by the short clip. It looked like a kid that extends his hand, only to then pull it back and slide it through his hair.You are talking like a child and making mountains out of molehills

If he shook his hand later because his hand was sweaty or he had just wiped his nose with it, then he's not a child.
Okay, I watched the vid. Chang handing him chalk with his other hand doesn't make up for not shaking his hand. Poor sportsmanship.
