what sent pool into the dumps in the u.s. is the opening of casinos all over. pool players took to them in droves and keep themselves broke and out of action.
also many took up poker where you had a chance of winning more and had constant action.
the young players had internet and phones to entertain them and were more social which doesn't fit into pool.
we have had some resurgence with leagues but most of those are occasional players and bangers from what ive seen.
I think anyone in the surrounding area should stop in and say hello if nothing else ! He seems to be a very good shot from what is shown in the video .
Joe Long, a big promoter of one pocket and pool in general, had an Austin Hill custom stolen at Buffalos in New Orleans. There is a short video on Buffs or Ray's Facebook page with some grainy video of the perp. I can post a pic later if needed.
