Yeah i too think that he's great and should be winning many tournaments but sadly he seems to have a problem overcoming and breaking into the A-listers from philipines like Orcollo, Biado or Jeffrey Ignacio and gettinf results like they do.
I wish him all the best
Yeah Johann southwest is gorgeous.
But i tot Lee van is sponsored by Diviney along w Biado.
Thats the thing, anyone can beat anyone in the world gambling as you always have another shot if u lose.
But in a competition, u only have 1 shot and he seems to have trouble overcoming A listers , theres a reason why Ignacio n biado were exposed to the international scene over him.
And speaking of southwest, im a southwest fan f.y.i, love the way it feels , looks n hits but a respected pro once told me you can't possibly play international competition with a southwest or any other custom cue and i stared at him doumbfounded in disbelief as i always thought its the indian not the arrow and he asked me, do u see many pros using custom or southwest cue and i was speechless and finally uttered Kim ga young using sw n biado using diviney. He replied' there you go, the reason why most pro is using ld shaft is because its easier to catch and adapt to the deflection on different tables n clothes and i understood.
By the way, he loves his custom n owns many Dpk n Franklin-era southwest so i knew what he was talking about.
Just my 2cents

It's true Lee Vann is, or was, sponsored by Diveney, but I these 2 pics were taken in the recent China Open, it does look like SW to me.
the argument of LD vs custom has been for long now, and I have the exact opposite thoughts against the pro you mentioned, I think it's the indian, and the arrow just supports him.
how can he explain Taiwanese players, Chinese players, Rodney, Frost, etc?
I have talked to numerous players, and they do have different approach, aiming and strokes, they have difference preference in how their cues perform, that's what decides which cue suits them. and sponsorship also.
i dont want to flame another discussion on cues, to each his own
Maybe there is some truth to this but we'll only know by asking the "Indians" themselves...with regards to Johann, I don't think his cue plays a factor with his results. He placed very high in the 2014 World 9 ball tourney in Doha (reached quarter finals) & again quarters or semis in the most recent MP 10 ball Cup that had a monster field. I just think he lacks exposure and he isn't seasoned enough yet. I hope that it is only a matter of time before he becomes one of the elites...Yeah Johann southwest is gorgeous.
