CARLSTADT, N.J., April 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Rasson is proud to announce that Shane Van Boening has joined the Rasson Team of Professional Players and Brand Ambassadors.
Shane Van Boening stormed onto the professional pool scene in 2007 when he captured the U.S. Open Championship title. He continued his reign as the #1 ranked player in the United States with multiple titles over the years including the U.S. Open 9-Ball and the World Cup of Pool.
"We're so delighted to have Shane Van Boening join the Rasson Pro Team with new energy in 2021," said Junny Song, the General Manager of Rasson Billiards. "Shane has been such a great pool player, and no one would ever question that. He's a very talented, consistent, and dedicated player."
Song added, "Rasson has always endeavored to build the best products that combine top quality and aesthetics. Now that Shane has joined the Rasson Pro Team, we're sure we can take our product development to the next level and create better products to supply consumers in markets all around the globe for years to come. We also look forward to working with our Pro Team to continue supporting and promoting the sport of billiards."
"It's a great feeling to join Rasson tables," said Van Boening, "especially with the good people that are the most involved with the brand. Most people know that I have had a Victory II Plus in my house for quite some time. I am still excited for every practice session, knowing that I am playing on one of the best pieces of equipment on the market today. The first time I played on a Rasson Table was at the Mosconi Cup a few years back and the thing that I remember is that the table was very difficult because the pockets were very tight. I was impressed by this and have always been a believer that tight equipment always separates the good and great players."
