Just to clear up some questions/statements that have been made publicly on these forums or otherwise. Tiger Products, the largest laminated billiard cue tip manufacturer in the world - and one of the last US based billiards industry manufacturers, officially sponsors the following five players (only):

Samm Diep, Shawn Putnam, Neil Fujiwara, Oscar Dominguez, and Mazin Shooni.

They are to be known as Team Tiger. Click the link(s) for more detailed info about each of the team members.

Any other claims to be "sponsored" by Tiger Products are untrue.

Tiger Products does have a vast network of high profile and top notch players that prefer to use our products, and in appreciation of their choices we do provide some loose support as best we can. The above player list however; is the only "official list" and each player has fullest of our support out there on their respective tournament trail.

In the future, we at Tiger will be providing updates on how each member of the team has been doing and where you may see them next.

If you see any of the above mentioned players out there, feel free to say "Hello" as they are each and everyone of them is extremely knowledgeable, approachable, and friendly - aside from being experts in these billiard sports.

Sincerely,

Corey Harper
Tiger Products
Marketing Director

What a great team of players!

Samm is an outstanding and beautiful lady. I couldn't help but notice that her photo wasn't finished, though. I took the liberty of balancing the levels, contrast, and colouring.

So you are saying there is a difference between actually being sponsored by Tiger and simply claiming one is sponsored by you?

You might know a little about this so let me ask you. Say I go into a billiard supply store and maybe buy some stuff or get some work done on a cue and the owner gives me a tip tapper made by Brunswick. Its clear that I then could type on the internet that I was a Brunswick sponsored player but I think you are saying that I wouldn't actually be sponsored by Brunswick?

Thanks for clearing that up for me, and.....

GO LANCE

a few days to the Alps when all issues will be decided.

Thanks

Lol! Many of the players that we show support for like to say that the are sponsored by us or player reps, and I see nothing really wrong with that as they help spread the word about the what they have chosen to be the best equipment/brand; however let's not confuse them with "official player reps" of a that brand.

If you watch pro tennis, you will see a zillion players wearing Nike and they probably have some sort of deal with Nike; however Federer is the only "official representative" player by Nike.

Re: Lance - I am waiting impatiently for him to step it up. If he has intentions on winning, it will show increasingly over the next week :thumbup:

Cycling is exciting shi*! My Wife thinks the best part is the doofusses running along side with antlers - LMAO! Imagine that in a pool tournament! :D

That may be Earl's net thing to help him concentrate. It will help difuse negative energy from his brain, and allow him to play more balanced. Plus, who can be pissy when they look like Rudolph?

There's no way of telling if Lance has it until he gets to the point where he needs it and he hasn't got to that point yet. It seems to me that both Lance and Contador are perfectly positioned and have ridden a perfect race thus far. In the past, every time Lance has gotten to the crucial point he has outperformed everybody by far and I'm conditioned to believe (hope) he will again. The Lance/Contador drama will unfold in the Alps and it should be epic (unless Lance just gives Alberto "the stare" and blows him off). Whats coming up should be as good as it gets in the Tour, assuming Lance has something to give and I'm betting he does.

Those crowds hemming the riders in on the climbs creeps me out! It makes me nervous just watching (not that I could do anything but watch considering those animals are at 6500 feet, 8% grade and riding on the big ring).

Ping had a deal available on the PGA Tour for years (still might), that if you played their irons (they would supply for free) and their logo bag (also free for the asking), they would match your winnings at each event, a neat sort of floating sponsorship deal.

Here you go. Like I said, I only made some minor adjustments.

Note to Neil: I'll take your portrait for free if you're ever in my area or passing through.

Thank you Marissa, I might do that once I get to my target weight which might take a while ha ha. I've never had professional pictures taken and am actually curious to see how they would turn out, I understand they would only be okay at best as you are a photographer not a magician.
