An undeniable complication, Bill, is that 2025 has likely introduced us to how pool is going to be from now on. It's very possible that the pros will, again, spend two months in Asia next September and October. The breadth of the world pool calendar has made things very complicated for players to manage both their schedules and their expenses. Still, there is no denying that, more than ever, they can pick and choose their events, no longer obligated to play in everything to earn a living at pro pool.

The rapid globalization of the game in the past decade has, unquestionably, made our sport better, but it has come with some growing pains, and players, event producers, and even fans face new choices.

To me, most of the guys are now just, payin the rent, enjoying life in your youth in their section of the planet.
$1,000,000 first prize event need to happen now, not more 20-50K.
MR give us some action.
Do more with less.
With the Cost To Live so much higher, Again.... the locals are now paying their local pros rent/food. etc
Comparably, the great players of the 60's and on, had it better.
It feels like most these guys are just gettin' buy. Again.

Well coming in late to class. I did cruise through all 4 pages and didn't find Dan Louie.
Any that followed pool in the Northwet would concur that he went toe to toe with the best. In 84 At the Tahoe event, I watched him beat Parica twice. Hill/hill both times. It was Parica's initial visit to the USA . Danny's visit to Reno for dialysis mid tournament made it even more impressive. Well I drove patients home after dialysis and they could barely walk.

Parica came to the US to play in the PPPA World 14.1 Championships before that, I think he played in either the 1978 event or the 1980 event, and possibly both.

I owned an AE Schmidt table for seven years and traded emails with Stephanie multiple times.

Great company to work with and so responsive! I regret moving to Texas before I could run over to St. Louis and get a tour of the factory. They still have their ivory ball tuner in the back, but no one knows how to use it!

I still think that the 314 shaft paired with a Schon butt makes for a phenomenal combination.
