“Mezz is really thrilled to head this event with Dragon Promotions. DP is the largest producer of international billiards worldwide, and Mezz has become an international brand so it’s a great fit. Fans always think that I’m using a custom made cue,they are always surprised when they learn Mezz is a manufactured cue. It’s that good!” commented Mika Immonen, Co-Founder of Mezz USA. “Title sponsoring a Dragon event is an elite honor, and Mezz is an elite brand in Asia. Teaming with the Ozone Billiards US Amateur Open events, the World Junior 10-Ball Championship, and the Mezz Classic, the events will really showcase what a great product Mezz really is.  We are looking forward to exposing the Mezz brand more into the US market”.

Immonen has become a businessman with his Mezz USA as well as being one of the world's most elite champions

“Dragon Promotions is really thrilled to team with Mezz Cues to continue this great Florida based event. Mezz is a strongly reputed name in Asia, and the most sought after cue in Japan. It was only a matter of time for them to expand to the western markets”, explained Cindy Lee, CEO of Dragon Promotions. “This event is so well liked with the players and fans, and we feel the Mezz Classic will continue growing in future years as have our other DP events.”
