On 10 may, at the 20th world ball and associated facilities fair (formerly the guangzhou international ball fair), the world's famous billboard starboard and the official official sport director of the ideas of sport initiative declared strategic collaboration。
At the moment, the chinese pool industry is at a turning point in history: the country's enthusiasts are over 210 million, the market is over 100 billion, and zhao's heart child and wu yisai are coming back to the snock world championship, and the system of events is improving. More and more young people are entering the room, and billiards have become a new sports scene that combines physical fitness for all, youth socialization, sports consumption and business investment. In booms, the industry also faces challenges: increased competition, high homogenization, rising operating costs, growing back into the cycle and the “inner volume” became a physical experience for many operators。
How do we break the game? The starboard answer goes back to the product itself — the feeling. As the star billiard pool manager, ganja ling, said at the forum, “the feeling is not a marketing slogan, but a silent contract between the club and the player”. Players must feel the ball moving in a stable way, not being able to bounce back, not being able to walk in the pocket. For this stable, professional and extreme experience, the starboard has been investing for nearly four decades in the core stages of flattening, echoing systems, baghead structures, tide-proofing systems, material processes, and has consistently used occupational standards for civilian products。
From product suppliers to ecological enablers
The starboard is completing an important upgrade: a shift from a product supplier to an ecological enabler of “product + service + operation + digitization”. From site planning, space design, product configuration, to race operation, membership activation, content dissemination, after-sales service, to digital operating capability, the starboard wants to help the club “open up” and truly move towards “good business, long life and money”。
That is why, in 2026, the starboards officially launched the club's “ten shop support scheme”. This is not simply a marketing exercise for a thousand businesses, but a systematic enabling programme for billiard entrepreneurs and club operators based on a 39-year-old industry that relies on a full-chain resource such as equipment development, race operations, branding, after-sales services and talent development. This includes five areas: pre-location and planning support, high-quality equipment and proprietary product policies, brand operations and competition empowerment, post-sales and long-term service security, promotional content and common-area diversion support。
Bringing hands together, finance plus ai double drive
In order to give the thousands of shops support a stronger landing and digital capability, starboards formally engage in a comprehensive strategic partnership with mass sports。
In the area of financial empowerment, both sides have helped entrepreneurs to ease the pressure on front-loading and lower entry thresholds through more flexible cooperation mechanisms。
In terms of intellectual upgrading, both sides will jointly advance the development and application of smart pool tables and smart room systems. Through a combination of visual recognition, sports capture, ai algorithms and saas platforms, the table is not only a vehicle for competition and entertainment, but also an important entry point for teaching, games, training, membership operations and data analysis。
Smart experience upgrade: reshaping the consumption landscape
Central sports led by the smart experience upgrading program, which constructs a system-level solution at the end of the consumption line with "ai+iot+saas". Through an integrated soft and hardware platform, each starboard table will be converted into a data node: ais will provide real-time battling analysis and improvement advice for amateurs; immersion competitive systems will support live off-site live broadcasts of combat and 3d video flows; block-chain + digital assets will create an unremovable collection of honors and cross-storey circulation of membership. At the same time, a billiard + sports prescription has been introduced for silver-haired and sub-healthy people, protected by ai-activated capture technology, to create new health consumption scenarios。
“the essence of industrial consumption upgrades is to hit `low frequency, low passenger list, low viscos' out of `high frequency, high passenger list, high repurchase'.”
Looking ahead: smartball table on the market in august
At the launch, both sides officially forecast that the starboards, together with their collective efforts, will be officially launched in august this year. The product will offer new possibilities for the intellectual development of pool sports through new technological concepts and product patterns. At the same time, building on the global collaboration network, the two sides will promote data interfaces at the smart ball table, and “china programmes” such as the ai training model, overseas to create a global club cloud collaboration platform。
"through the world of wisdom, the waves go." with the official launch of the starboard strategic cooperation, the chinese billiard industry is leading the global billiard movement to the stars and seas in the form of a “smart pilot”。
