American 14.1 Straight Pool Championship 2016

von Lucasi-Team Deutschland Bei den Deutschen Meisterschaften in Bad Wildungen machte jüngst ein neu gegründetes Team auf sich aufmerksam. Dabei handelte es sich aber keineswegs um einen neuen Verein oder gar Organisation, sondern vielmehr um das Lucasi-Team Deutschland, welches bei den nationalen Titelkämpfen seinen ersten Auftritt hatte. In diesem Team spielen Ina Kaplan (BC Siegtal), Sandra Graw (PBSG Wolfsburg) und Marlin Köhler (BV Mörfelden-Walldorf), die mit Produkten des Herstellers Lucasi ausgestattet wurden. Darüber hinaus gehören hochwertige Shirts und einer Jacke zum standardmäßigen Equipment der sympathischen Mannschaft. Die Idee zu diesem Team hatte die Firma BB Eurowest UG in Rödermark, die bereits seit Ende 2010 die Lucasi-Queues, die im Übrigen auch vom 2-fachen Weltmeister Thorsten Hohmann gespielt werden, vertreibt. So erzählt Jochen Maurer von BB Eurowest, dass er die Idee zu diesem Team hatte, weil ihm aufgefallen sei, dass Thorsten Hohmann zwar an sich ein extrem guter Repräsentant sei, aber in Deutschland aufgrund seines Profi-Daseins nur in den seltensten  Fällen – und wenn, dann zu Familienbesuchen – weilt. „Er war also nicht greifbar und ich wollte die […]

22nd May – 2017 World Cup of Pool Naoyuki Oi: Crazy Interview? No, That’s Just Me. Ahead of his trip to London to represent Japan at the forthcoming World Cup of Pool, global sensation Naoyuki Oi has insisted he was just being himself in the interviews which gave him worldwide fame earlier this year. The Japanese No.1 made waves across the globe in February with his hilarious post-match interview at the Dafabet World Pool Masters, which took inspiration from PIKOTARO’s smash Japanese hit song PPAP (Pen Pinapple Apple Pen). Recent estimates conservatively suggest the video had been viewed in excess of 100 million times. As the world’s best players prepare to travel to York Hall, East London, June 13-18 for one of the sport’s biggest tournaments – the World Cup of Pool – Oi knows his post-match interview is likely to be almost as much anticipated as Japan’s first-round clash with Thailand. Speaking of his new viral fame, Oi said: “Many reactions come to me from all over the world. Many people liked the interview. […]

6th October – 2015 PartyPoker Mosconi Cup Feijen set for MC Number 11 FOLLOWING ON from his last 16 finish at the recent Dutch Open on the Euro Tour, Holland’s much decorated Niels Feijen can ready himself for his 11th appearance pulling on the blue European jersey at PartyPoker Mosconi Cup XXII at the Tropicana in December. The athletic Dutchman first competed in 2001 when Europe was hammered at the York Hall. His next two appearances also saw defeat before he became part of the group of European players who enjoyed almost total domination of the event from 2007 onwards. The 38 year-old Feijen will become tied third on the European list of appearances as well as tied fifth on the Mosconi Cup all-time appearances list. In addition, the sharp-shooting Feijen has won the MVP award three times in the last four years – a record for the event. “The Mosconi Cup was one of my goals again this year and it’s very cool to obtain the first ticket,” said a delighted Feijen. “I’m looking […]
