Dudanets wins over Dalmatin despite several hiccups
Karlo Dalmatin (CRO) lost to Maksim Dudanets (RUS) with 8:9 in a heartbreaker at the Dynamic Billard Dutch Open Euro-Tour in Leende, The Netherlands.
The first round match started out as expected. Dudanets had a grip on the match and took a quick and comfortable 6:1 lead over Dalmatin. It looked like the Croatian would receive a tough bashing by the Russian kid. But then Dalmatin somehow recovered and started playing more focussed while Dudanets committed some negligent mistakes. „These pockets do not allow mistakes“, stated Dudanets right after the match. And he definitely knew what he was talking about. His easy going allowed Dalmatin to get a foot back in the door. Better performance together with a bit of luck turned the match which started out as a one-sided show into a thriller. Trailing 4:7, Dalmatin found himself on the table without any position. Dudanets had played a safety shot and Dalmatin needed to hit the 4-ball over one rail. In fact, he did not only hit the correct ball but also pocketed the 9-ball unwanted in the side pocket in order to turn the scoreboard to 5:7. That obviously caught Dudanets a bit off-track. The Russian struggled and started to commit easy mistakes himself. Leading 7:5, he missed an easy 6-ball and Dalmatin accepted the gift, coming closer with 6:7. Rack number 14 was a break and run by Dalmatin.

Kimberley back to winning ways, as Oliver wins back-to-back Challenge titles!
Escape Pool Bar in Barnsley was the venue for the penultimate BWPPA event of the season on 10/11 September 2016, the Kamui 9-ball Shootout.
Birmingham’s Roy Kimberley won his first main event on the tour in over 3 years beating Midlands rival Aslam Abubaker in the final.
Going into the event Daniel Lee and Fred Dinsmore seemed the only players still in realistic contention for the no.1 spot at the end of the season, which not only brings with it its own prestige but also a cue from our generous friends at Predator. Only some unusual results against the formbook could change that!
Launch of new Mezz SKR-E1a Series snooker cues in Europe
Today we are launching the new SKR-E1a Mezz Cues snooker cues in Europe. We are proud to be the pioneers to release our snooker cues with the V95 6 pie maple shaft. After more than 6 years of developing our snooker cue, a lot of studying and tests maple vs ash shaft, we have in fact on the contrary to common beliefs, discovered that the maple shaft is much more consistent in it's structure and performance than an ash shaft. The data is collected through different tests including machinery, people playing with our cue, chemical tests and etc... The uniqueness of our shaft does not stop with only maple vs ash, there is another twist to it. Namely our shaft is equipped with the United joint and the Shaft Weight System (SWS) which gives you different balance points in case needed. Before drawing any conclusions please visit our website to learn more about the unique SWS, just click here here.

2016 French Open gets underway in Paris
The main event starts today with some heavyweight players joining the fray, in addition to those who have advanced from the qualification groups.
Reigning French Open champion Imran Majid (GBR) is looking to defend the title he captured in 2015, while the talented Dutch duo of Marc Bijsterbosch and Huidji See are also in town. Both went deep in this event last time round but came up short in the final stages. Can either of them go further this time around to dethrone the Maharaja?
The French pool community will be hoping it is third time lucky for one of their players. Having seen the trophy go to British players in the first two editions, it would be a big celebration for a Frenchman to take down this event.
