with in reason im right Stu, as filler is taking so much of the top money paid in tournaments . along with a very small subset of top players. not enough left for the good pro to pay expenses if he has to travel far. certainly if out of the country.
they are obviously out classed against the very best.

there has to be a way for the pros to win more , or some guarantee show-up fee for them. or you may find most start dropping out of long travel.

time will tell. but if i am right it might mean no going backwards.

That excuse is not nearly creative enough....

A new in-house league started near me, so I joined to help support it. About the final week, the room owner had bad news: someone had gotten into his safe and taken all the league funds, so no prizes. Seems they only took the league funds. Also no police report. So sorry.

These stories could go on forever. Played in a match play challenge, at my local course. Big group, not a huge amount of money, but well over four figures. After winning, was told the fees were kept in an envelope be hind the cash register. The owner, his wife, and stepdaughter were the only ones that ever worked behind the bar. They claimed the envelope was stolen. A few years later, won the summer league, clubhouse burns down. I was told the prize money was in the office, and got burned up[emoji1787]

Actually, it's conservation of both energy and momentum. Momentum can be divided between the cue ball and cue stick during the hit in an infinite number of ways if only momentum is considered. It is conservation of energy that forces the single result that we see.

KE = (mv^2)/2

Cue speed is more important than weight. That's why MLB players don't swing 35oz bats anymore.

Control is another thing entirely, but if you're looking for maximum cue ball velocity you want the intersection of where the cue weight crosses your maximum hand speed.
