Here are some of my rods I’ve done. I have done a few test wraps on a cue but never finished one.

Pool is super lucky to have a guy like Rogan taking the time to push the game.

He loves playing pool, its awesome.

Keep in mind that celebrities usually get paid to show up and hawk anything.

You want people to know about famous people who play and who spend money on it. It won’t normalize people spending 5-10 k on a cue or to have a cue collection worth a house, but it might get people to try the game and know it isn’t crazy to spend money on cues. It might get them to at least watch a little.

An oldy, but a goody!!

I think he wants the shaft pilot too.

I ready Billy's post and he did say something about "not checking emails" or something like that. It seems like he had the information but didn't look at it. Billy is doing the best thing for himself in having a job that pays the bills and using pool as a side gig. Others have found the solution to have pool as their main source of income. It takes a lot of work, but can be a reality.

I was not aware of Aloft being pool table friendly but they are a Marriott brand. My previous experience at the Renaissance LAX was also a Marriott brand. I hope they continue to include pool tables at their properties. I fear that they will continue to disappear over time.

I was going to post about the Marriott Waikiki, but I checked the website before posting and it looks like they got rid of them. I’m not shocked. I would guess it is dependent on the particular property. Sounds like it might be brand based now too.

I will go to Golden Corral and watch the buffet crowd.

You should switch it up and watch the Chinese buffet crowd sometimes. The ones serving crawfish and/or snow crab legs.

I 'sorta' see his side but the WNT/MC is not at fault because he's broke. If he skips qualifying events who's fault is it?? BTW, he's just now figuring out playing pool to eat is a bad deal for most?

Yes, you just sum-up the whole American players who constantly complaining about everything... there are solutions: play better and get more sponsors, or start doing lessons, or start selling affiliated products, do social medias, do raffles, open your own pool room or with a partner who knows "the business side"... stop doing alcohols and drugs if you are on any... start saving money...

I read his whole post on Facebook. Didn’t seem like severe criticism to me. I know he doesn’t like it and he’s not stoked about it, but these press releases need to stop making it seem like a bigger deal than it is.

That "absolute-pool" page is off their rocker. Over-exaggerate everything. Looking for hits. IDK who is behind them... if someone in the USA or maybe the Philippines?
