Chinese 8 ball world champion the skill disparity remains too wide, his poor current form not withstanding
idk how long he's spent playing that game, but it didn't take him long to become the best / 2nd best at one pocket. if he's played a year i would exclude only potts and melling, of the ones mentioned
What's all this about Dennis playing C8B? Is there even a C8B table in the Philippines? I thought they were almost exclusive to China.
Shorter shipping time than a new Diamond: http://www.joybilliards.com/product/joy-q3-pool-table
What does Diamond's long ship time have to do with C8B table in the Philippines?
I personally don't think there are any there, or so few, that it would be a complete rarity. Same as if one was in the USA. I think a member here that was a room owner bought 1 or 2 about 10 years ago and then got rid of them shortly thereafter.
he plays in china
SVB hated the push for chinese 8 ball because he's a mortal on them. He wouldn't touch the Chinese 8 ball table I had at my room, but was strong at bumper pool.

You were asking whether there are any tables outside of China and the answer is certainly yes. They aren’t hard to get.

Match cut is 3.5" with standard American sized pool balls. 9ft total playing area. Down the rail involves beating it into the outside jaw at pace, with precision. Only thing I'd say is slightly easier, is playing slow over the middle pockets. Banking can also be manipulated further with spin due to the nap of the cloth, which negates the needs for diamond and makes the middles more forgiving, but playing them into any pocket at pace is harder.

I wouldn't say buckets in comparison, knowing how to play the pocket is imperative. Chinese-8 tables will take balls you couldn't imagine if you know how to work the jaw of the pocket. I think a lot of people's issues at the UK open stemmed from the pocket facings, not the size of the pockets.

Yeah, I met a guy who played and beat SVB in Chinese-8. Said it made him more than mortal, I don't think it's often you'd see SVB drop his head on an American table. Dennis comes to China regularly to play, but it's not hard to find tables elsewhere. He seemed quite enamored with the game when I met him here. With the push for chinese-8 to become a global sport, you can find tables in many places you wouldn't expect these days.
Chinese table, really...
He's calling out pool players who play on pool tables. I'm sure there's someone in China who'll play him on that weird felt table, LOL, this just woofing across the lake seeing if anything will fly. No time for this...
Now... in all actuality, I'm not sure if Dennis is the player he was several years ago when he was still in the US, probably IS, anyway, if so, Fedor and SVB are probably the only two that would play him in a long race and have a chance. I don't see Filler or other Euros, Americans, anyone really having the stamina.
Not sure how much longer the ban is, but, I can't wait to see him and Fedor, the young man ain't skeeeerrred of sh!te!
haha good day everyone.
i haven't seen him play it, just some snippet on facebook, but last time i saw him play a money game on youtube he was as straight shooting as before. i have no doubt he'll excel at the chinese tables, he's a former world 8b champ too. but yea, a bit gaffy proposition this..
South Dakota?
