Wonder why they had them switch seats, kinda odd LoL

I just got back from the event. Svb won 13-8. Very difficult table- not sure if I like it- it is cool to see them look human but the table is so tough that you can’t even think of attempting certain shots

It looked tough!
Thought it said it was a race to 25

I think that means best out of 25- so race to 13

My bet is so their seating matched the score bar on the bottom of the screen (SVB was on the left on the score bar). Without commentary, and intended for a foreign audience, perhaps someone felt that the viewers wouldn't know who was SVB and who was Corey.

I see Joy is sponsoring more of these in the future. There is a match with Kaci next month. I've never played on a true Chinese 8 ball table, but good to see them investing in the sport.

yes, but still players like bingjie and yubo almost don't miss a ball. it's not insurmountable for westerners to win on these tables either, darren appleton won their world championship, cashing in 100k some years ago. albin has been a runner-up, melling as well many times. i really recommend watching melling play that game, he is brilliant at it.

Played once on a Chinese 8 ball table in Bangkok, Joy as I remember. The cloth has nap, hit 'em too slow they roll off, hit 'em too hard they rattle Speed matters. Good fun.

I just skimmed through bits and pieces, but from what I saw, Shane didn't seem to have his usual solid CB control.

The rails were very bouncy- that coupled with having to focus so much on ball pocketing likely influenced his uncharacteristically weak position play

There's a 9 ball tape on the list with some superb shooting.

It was in L.A. and I was going to go. But I'm not a big fan of traveling around this city at night. That's when the vampires come out! Seriously, most (over 90%) violent crimes in Los Angeles happen after dark. In this big city there are at least one or two shooting deaths a day, and several more non fatal shootings that are barely a blip on the evening news, unless a cop is involved. Often it's innocent people who some ouitlaw tries to Jack, whether they resist or not. I don't like to feel like I have to carry just to travel across town, but that's the reality in the world we live in today.

Considering all that I'm glad I live in the sticks but pre covid or maybe post covid being in town can be awesome.
