PBS St Louis 2026 (Men’s World 8 Ball Championship, Mixed Doubles, Women’s Open, Bank Pool), 1-8 April, Half Million Prize Fund

Perhaps the most enjoyable part of the bank finals, to me, was seeing the best players in the world badly miss some banks I've made plenty of times. Hah!

I know. A new table and slick cloth. Fans and pressure. And many of the misses were played as two-way shots. I just thought: there's hope for us yet!

Still, great fun and a great finals. The bank Gorst hit that just grazed another ball was almost the best bank of the tourney.

Pro Pocket Size TOO Small for 9 Ball

Hell no. I don't think the public will regularly watch pool no matter how it's played. Like chess, bowling etc., it's got limited viewer potential. This is nothing new. ESPN did a lot of it in the 80s and 90s, wide world of sports before that. If it was going to catch on with the public, I think it would of happened by now. I can understand why it doesn't, if I didn't play I wouldn't consider watching it any sooner than watching a corn hole match.
I'm another enthusiast who has little interest in watching.
