There is a random drummer in the background.
A loud beat at random, well hopefully. It could sure put a player off.

Some March to the beat if a different drummer.
Hire the handicapped, they are fun to watch.
Well watching Higgins eyebrows would be fun with a musical accompanied. The successful shots all would play the same tune. Things that make you say,

2014.

Oh dear, how does the uh grumble go?
You send them to school
You give them the books (and the looks)
And all they want to do is lick the chalk.
Kyren vs Higgins is giving the looks.
The months subscription is justified in the view of the finals now. A cheap lesson.

Great post. There's no question that the decline in America's standing in the world of pro pool is, for some, a reason to view the past more favorably than the present. For me, I've never been much of a pool patriot, more inclined to enjoy great play regardless of who is producing it.

i think this is true, but also the tendency to view sport from ones youth / prime years in a brighter light. this seems true for all sports, it was true when i watched sports with my grandfather, and it's true now when i myself is middleaged and half crippled . i admire your positive and rational outlook, and also agree on the points. my only gripe is probably that i would like to see more 1p matchups and 14.1 tourneys, but other than that there's a lot of great pool to watch.

on the characters. the same is said in snooker, and it's likely true, at least subjectively. partly because the snooker players were drinking (and doing other stuff) back then, and partly because they were british or canadian, which is more relatable to other anglos/westerners. wu yize may be a real character, he certainly looks like one, but i really wouldn't know because i'm not chinese.

I disagree. People who are looking to play a $20-$100 set carry just that much cash. Gamblers will either have on them, or in their trunk enough money to put up a good set or 2 without having to leave. Most CC's don't allow you to take out enough to fund a good set anyway.
