GB9 is delighted to announce a landmark three-year sponsorship agreement with Cyclop Balls and Andy Cloth, who will become the official ball and cloth suppliers of GB9 from the 2018 season.
Adam Stevens, GB9 Chairperson, says: “Cyclop Balls and Andy Cloth are both huge players in the global American Pool scene and I am thrilled that GB9 will continue to provide UK based players the opportunity to
experience unrivalled playing conditions and first class equipment at each of our events.”
Cyclop, based out of Shanghai, China, has been making quite a splash in the pool world over the last few years, predominantly due to their content of highly configured phenolic resin, allowing for increased durability and longevity.
