Predator Cues adds ‘Exotic’ updates to popular cue
Predator Cues has updated the P3 cue, one of its most popular cue series ever, with two new P3 Exotics. The newly launched cues – Golden Oak and Leopard Curly – deliver the solid feel and accuracy characteristic of the P3 Series, but with exotic wood details. The Golden Oak and Leopard Curly P3 Exotics represent the third installment in the P3 Series.
“Our P2 and P3 Series has been a success for more than 10 years,” said Karim Belhaj, president and CEO of Predator Group. “We released the new P3 Exotics for players who love the feel and accuracy of the P3 but want more exotic styling.”
The Golden Oak and Leopard Curly P3 Exotics each prominently feature curly maple wood, and are accented with a chrome butt cap with the Predator logo. The Golden Oak cue exterior is entirely curly maple with a golden-oak stain, while the Curly Leopard has equal-width striping of unstained curly maple and exotic leopard wood. The P3 Series first launched in December 2008 with the original P3 cue in metallic black with black matte striping. In 2009, Predator celebrated the company’s 15th anniversary by releasing P3 White, a limited edition cue in metallic white.
The Pearl Strings Together A Victory By: Gerry Mayen
The 2010 Steve Mizerak Championship kicked off on Thursday November 4 from inside the Hard Rock Live at the Seminole Hard Rock hotel & Casino in Hollywood, FL. 71 Players registered to compete for the championship. An impressive field of players lined the brackets, including all winners the 2010 Seminole Pro Tour winners: Johnny Archer (Mr. Cues II Atlanta, GA); Stevie Moore (Bankshots Billiards, Jacksonville, FL); Rodney Morris (Hollywood Billiards, Hollywood , CA and Strokers Billiards, Palm Harbor, FL); Donny Mills (Capone’s Billiards, Spring Hill, FL); Shane Van Boening (Marietta Billiard Club, Marietta, GA); Corey Deuel (Diamond Billiards, Cape Coral, FL); Mike Dechaine (Raxx Pool Room, West Hempstead, NY). A slew of other great shooters were in the competition as well, including: Thorsten Hohmann, Mike Immonen, Ralph Souquet, and current US Open Champion Darren Appleton.
Though play started on Thursday morning, the excitement began during the draw held at the player’s meeting the night before. The luck of the draw was not so lucky for some players, as some amazing matches were drawn right from the start. Ralph Souquet and Corey Deuel, Gabe Owen against Ernesto Dominguez and Donny Mills took on Dennis Hatch. Any of these early matches would have been worthy of being the finals, but the random draw played no favorites and the crowd got a special treat of seeing these remarkable matches in the opening round.

Rankings updated after China Open
Before the China Open, Finland's Mika Immonen was sitting on top of the world in the Men's WPA World Pool Rankings with 7 Europeans listed in the World Top 16 but it's all change at the top with the final end-of-year rankings published today, as Mika is replaced by the Philippine's Francisco Bustamante.

Chris Melling finally stamps his name into 9 ball history
It's been a long time coming for those of us who have admired his playing style and pace on the big ball table for nearly a decade, but at long last Chris "The Magician" Melling has received the official recognition of the ability that he has always possessed, with the winner's trophy at the Portugal Euro Tour event in Albufeira.
The Dynamic Portugal Open Champion certainly didn't have an easy run through the field as he faced champion after champion with the likes of Germany's Christian Reimering and Oliver Ortmann, both previous Euro Tour champions, obstructing his route to the trophy. But beat them he did, along with a strong performance over Poland's very capable Karol Skowerski in the semi-finals. That 9-1 victory and a break between that and the final match may have helped the WEPF World 8-ball Champion to push through Spain's very talented Carlos Cabello in the final.
Melling's good natured attitude and approachable demeanour means everyone has a bit of a soft spot for him, and this victory will be welcomed with open arms back in England!
