Pool Table Tournament News Kamui Link up with GB9 Tour

Pool Table Tour News - A recent announcement from the GB9 Tour has confirmed that the world famous Kamui brand will become a key sponsor of Britain’s Official Pool Tour. The sponsorship will begin straight away and is for the 2013 season.

Kamui is a leader in pool cue tip manufacture and is by far the most commonly used cue tip among top-playing professionals worldwide. They also produce a very high-quality brand of pool table chalk. This specially developed chalk is certainly not cheap, but it far outperforms many pool chalk brands. We hope to stock and sell it through our store at www.pooltablesonline.co.uk very soon.

The GB9 Pool tour is going from strength to strength and growing by the year. It continues to attract world-class sponsorship and now adds the Kamui brand to an already highly distinguished list. This, of course, includes three of Pool Tables Online's favourite pool brands. Simonis cloth, of which we are the UK's leading importer. We also represent Aramith balls in the UK and Dynamic Billiards, which is one of Europe's largest and most successful table producers.

The GB9 Tour and Kamui are both delighted with the link-up. Masato Hiraoka, managing director of Kamui, said this about the partnership: "I travel throughout Asia, North America, Europe, and other countries to wherever pool is active worldwide. In the UK, I believe there are more advanced players than anywhere else, and so I have been interested for some time in the work of the GB9 ball tour.

The mission of the GB9 is to be "the toughest national tournament on the planet." But it is getting international now. To achieve this mission, GB9 has been committing to provide the opportunity for the player who wants to demonstrate their abilities and in doing so they have rapidly gained the support from the pool industry in just a few years.

The tough standard of the professionally run tournaments enable GB9 and the players to inspire more people and bring out the true excitement of the 9-ball sport.

Kamui are proud to join GB9  in their mission and are very excited to be a part of it.

The chairperson of the GB9 tour, Andy Warden, added, "The GB9 pool team are proud to welcome Kamui to their portfolio of world-class sponsors. Kamui is very well respected throughout the world by both professionals and amateurs alike, and so we are privileged to be associated with such a fantastic brand.

Many world-class professionals who will be playing on the GB9 Tour this season already use Kamui tips, including Chris Melling, Darren Appleton, Daryl Peach, Ralf Souquet, Jason Shaw, Karl Boyes, Nick Van Den Berg, Niels Feijen, and Nikos Ekonomopolous. We hope that our partnership encourages more players to start trusting in the Kamui brand."

This exciting link-up is excellent news for the GB9 Tour and further enhances its reputation as the leading tour in Europe.
