Super billiards expo 2025

[bbb]

Someone had a heart event of some sort during the 3C tourney. Tom Rossman? Not sure who, can’t remember.
I saw it happen, though.
Will Prout

hope whomever it was is ok

I was there at that Expo. The ambiance of the pool room was monster tee shirts and beer while the 3C room was bowties and mimosas.

To paraphrase the Simpsons: "POOL TOURNAMENT: Tasteful Attire Prohibited"

We want glory over money.

With glory, comes sponsorship, deals and social media influence.

I've always known the SBE as a trade show and they have tournaments. How legitimate it is to win a tournament there?

Not sure how you can speak the first two paragraphs and follow with that final question.

None of the 'wants' trump money. See Maslow for further.

He competed against Gorst and both Kacis to win it. Those players were not there in previous non WNT events.

20 years back they fielded more top talent, but WNT will change that.

Congrats to Niels.
Saw him play Saturday night.
He missed one ball the whole match I saw .
He was playing extremely well.

His grandson is building? I have an Espiritu that I want refinished and an additional shaft made. Any contact for the grandson? Does he work on his grandfather's cues? I would assume he does.

I am unsure if he works on Russ's cues. I got this cue on a trade and have not had any direct contact with him. His Facebook page is easy to find. I just searched "Heath Outlaw" and he was the first guy to pop up. I am sure you can shoot him a message on there.

Russian K. is on vacation for a couple years True story.

I figured he must be when I didn't see him there.

Kenny has had a rough couple of years.
I've played him a few times in tournaments.
Remarkable focus and consistency.

For anyone who attended the Expo, I am trying to remember the name of one of he vendors. He was set up close to the Adam/Hayakawa cues booth near the main entrance. Something like booth 53 or so? He was a super nice guy with really nice looking classic style four point cues. He was from somewhere in Jersey, said he has been to every single on of the Expos. The website took down all their info on vendors and I am having a brain fart.

It is probably Mike Bender.
He is a super nice guy and he is from New Jersey.
