Thorpe blasts ‘one of the dumbest rules’ after becoming ineligible for USA Mosconi Cup team

The top players are under contracts with cue sponsors, usually one year deals. They are paid a monthly fee. Could be anywhere from 1K-3K month or more. Shane is being paid magnitudes of that!

I negotiated Dennis' cue contracts, when he was on top of his game. First Tiger for six years and then Meucci one year. $1,500-2,000 a month on both of them, plus a % on his line of cues.
SVB has certainly earned that. Even I went out and got one of his cues! I'm playing a tournament with him this weekend, maybe I can beat him with his own cue... :ROFLMAO:

Have you ever known any players who played really good with the heavy (mud) cue ball, that you see on so many Valley coin op tables?

You lost me on the equator!!
I'm in the southern hemisphere now!! Wtf??😉
Check your toilet flushing. And check back. I think it spins one way in one hemisphere and the other way in the other. Unless this is false.

ahmma go with Jay Helfert just to be safe. The heaviness gets the OB going further at lower speeds than and equal weight ball.

the average salary in the u.s. is about 70,000 a year. so if making less as a pool pro you are a failure.
but may be happy having that lifestyle for a lower standard of living. and traveling on the road and spending much of it.
also no retirement plan goes with it. so your old age is not going to be much fun.
basically there is no future in being a tournament pro pool player. its too bad there is no real money in the sport.

and efren who is the most successful and said to have made 2 million seems like a lot. but over his 40 plus years playing, that averages out less than 50,000 a year. and takeout expenses, but still good money for where he lives but hardly a big financial success.
