Do I really NEED a $10k table?

I've never heard of that table maker before. What caused it to be that expensive when it was new? Solid rare hardwood?

Porter and Sons is still in business. Third gen. family company. They only make tables when ordered. Every piece is custom. Table sides are 2" thick Honduran mahogany. Rails are burled mahogony. This model is called the "Wren" and is one of their bread and butter styles. It has some obvious character marks from all the years of play but the mechanic who set it up actually installed it all those years ago! I'm not really in to that aspect of it in terms of history or name, I just have a beautiful 9ft table that is solid as a rock and plays like a champ at a price less than a foriegn made rec stor table! Couldn't be happier.

From that vantage the camera is closer to the expressway than the expressway is to Cabrini, yet you claim to have seen more Cabrini detail from the expressway.

And for the others who were nervous being near a (gasp!) housing project - I've been driving past and through them for 50+ years... never nervous, never a reason to be. You must bring your reasons with you.

The question I asked above is:

For the players in the top 100 at each sport, how many hours did it take them to get into the top 100?

That's maybe a little skewed because there are more people trying to get into the top 100 at golf, but that's part of the deal. That has a chance of finding an objective answer.

I have even shared your video in our group chat 🤷. You know how hard headed some people can be. Never admit when they are wrong

Out of over 90 competitors, Wojciech Szewczyk (GKS Katowice) emerged unrivaled in the 9-ball discipline. It took 182 matches to determine the winner of this year’s third tour stop. The field included top-ranked players such as Radosław Babica and Mariusz Skoneczny. Szewczyk dominated the group stage with three decisive wins.
