I think it varies by country. I believe the Netherlands has a non-trivial amount for top pros, based on success in certain big events. I remember Niels talking about it and how important it was for him to place high enough to keep it, and also I believe Nick Vandenberg stopped competing internationally when he lost his stipend.

Trying a pair of neodymiums for a chalk holder. One attached to the chalk, the other in my pocket.

The British pool federation has 57 members. I wonder what kind of funding they have, if any.

On the other hand, Germany has about 20,000 player members in the federation. At that point, membership fees could help even without government support.

Gorst dishes on US Open, lopsided prize funds, long race with Filler

Sorry for hijacking the thread but...

I know people are right when saying that Joe Rogan playing in the US Open would attract viewers but isn't the game beautiful enough to attract viewers on its own? People that would tune in to watch Rogan aren't going to watch the other events he's not participating in.

Why do we always feel we need to have another Hollywood movie about pool with Top Tier actors or a celebrity playing in an event to increase popularity?! They wouldn't even be real fans in the first place!

Pool by itself has always failed to attract large audiences in the modern era unless there were big personalities or charismatic people involved.

My bad. More correctly.

I'm getting a little more english with the Jacoby than expected, with same effort and stroke.
Less susceptible to miscue farther off center. (Possible lousy tip on Z)

You are experiencing the best thing about a CF shaft compared to most wood shafts, and that is the energy from YOUR stroke transferred more efficiently, there are some wood shafts that do a great job but CF shafts do it more reliably, Becue shafts are designed specifically to transfer energy more efficiently, add their full CF butt and you will see even more, CF is used in cycling, golf clubs, tennis racquets and many other uses.

i dont believe thats the case as written by you. if so i am in shock.

first that most of the pool rooms have 4 inch pockets on their tables
. i would bet that none have, except maybe one or two tables for one pocket.
and also they are packed with players.

Ok lol. So instead of a simple “wow I didn’t know that maybe I was wrong!” we’re going for a “I’m right and you’re a liar even though I’ve never been there”. You can live in your world and I’ll live in mine buddy. Next time you visit beautiful sunny Southern California, stop into a pool hall and and fire some balls into the rails on our beautiful 4” pockets. If you can get a table that is. Cheers m8
