I gave a little pass. Would you be so kind as to give me your opinion now since you were so kind to give it to me in the first place. Its been incredibly difficult to get any feedback. I am thinking of adding some short videos to get people over the fear of signing up and creating leagues.

I think lack of interest is a bigger factor than fear. I personally have no interest in this. There are established pool leagues I play in. I can play people outside of leagues. I’ve played in an in- house schedule your own league that was going to end up as a ladder type deal. It died. Played in a schedule your own 14.1 league. It died. The limited places that want to do this aren’t being held back by lack of the right internet resource IMO.

Yeah, pretty much this. I live here in a tiny city in flyover country, but even here one can play league pool 5-6 nights a week if you want. Spread out among at least four different leagues. I'm not sure there's much appetite for starting new ones.

I was not talking about the cloth as much as the cushions on tables like Diamond and Rasson as examples- nobody can tell me that the older GC cushions were as fast as the two I just mentioned - these tables are much faster off the rail than the older tournament GCs

Yeah, I remember playing on Simonis on GCs in the ‘80’s and don’t remember them being as fast as Diamonds. I did play on one GC this millennium that was the bounciest table I have experienced. That was shortly before Hank’s at 38th and Sheridan in Denver closed. I don’t remember a table in that room playing like that in the ‘80’s, but that wasn’t my main place. I am sure that was new rubber and not stock old GC cushions..

As another pointed out in this thread, 3 out the last 4 WNT Majors winners have issues with form, SVB, Grabe, FSR. I can point out a ton of them.

You think Billy’s problems are form, I think it’s things off the table and away from the game that have held him back.

The majority of players' problems are "mental" once you reach a certain stage.

All this BS about "xxx doesn't have a perfect stroke, etc." is hype.

If a person makes a thousand shots with a "bad stroke" and then misses one, it can't be attributed to his form.

For some people, "unnatural" is "natural".
