You and Mark Rober could do a collab. I bet you could do it.

Why would that even be interesting? Mark has a very dedicated specialized fan base and is engaging.

It isn't.

The ESPN 9-ball tournament of champions in the late 1990s paid $50,000 to the winner of both the men’s and women’s divisions.

Even from 1990 that would still convert to in today's dollars $126,000 each

Median is about $11k.
The bare minimum is $2k for entry, $5.5k for Calcutta. Hotel and food for 5 days($1k?)
And.. you have to fight a murders row to get into the top 25%.
$8.5k minimum
7/8 for a $1.5k profit if you pay the minimum and get top 25%.

Probably better to ask if you want fries with that and get a wage, benefits, plus tuition reimbursement.

Oh, there are some really, really bad times coming. Even the US is not immune since we can't refine most of our own crude. If anyone thinks that things are going to remain business as usual, enjoy the delusion while you can.

for jet fuel europe and east asia are facing an imminent shortage, whereas US airlines won't suffer the same supply disruptions. of course the prices will still be as high in US because it's a global commodity. so while it will be expensive for all travelling pro players, the euros and asians may not even be able to get off the ground.

I think this training device is great. These kinds of devices are tools to give instant feedback that you are not shooting straight. A lot of you are mentioned using the pocket reducers, instead of this aiming tool, but pocket reducers won't tell you that you still have a garbage stroke and can't shoot straight. Other comments are saying to use chalk or golf tees, yeah, they do the same thing as this tool, but they take longer to set up than just standing this tool up-right. I'm sure most of you are super good at pool and may think this tool seems silly, but this isn't for you, it's for the beginners, the standards, and open players who just want to get a little better. We were all crappy at pool at one time.

For any of you noobs who want to get better, the link is https://mtlaser3dprintstudio.etsy.com

I dunno know about you but if I shoot at the corner pocket 6’, 7’, or 8 1/2’ away, straight is straight as far as my eyes
can discern a cue ball’s roll. I don’t need to see it pass thru a round portal to then head straight to the corner pocket and drop in the pocket. With the pro pocket reducer, which I submit makes the pocket ridiculously smaller with 4.25” CP and just a wee bit larger with 4.5” CP, rejecting the cue ball, I know it wasn’t hit straight. And what’s even better feedback, at least for me, I don’t roll the cue ball into the pocket because it’s too easy and becomes boring. I actually shoot object balls, both straight shots and cut shots too. This provides more meaningful feedback and challenging. Remove the reducers and OMG, the pockets just seem enormous afterward. These gimmicks remind me of lawn croquet which is a pretty boring to play.
