None of this is going to change the outcomes. Its like putting a band-aid on a gunshot wound. As long as US big table play continues to languish and with no real 'pipeline' of newcomers Euro's will be big fave's for the foreseeable future. It'll take a grassroots pool 'revolution' and even if that ever happened it takes time, 10-15yrs min.

We will stay underdogs for sure. I just like the idea of changing course via tens or hundreds of good ideas in the right direction. This would be just one. It incentivizes “hopefuls” to stay inside the process and not get disillusioned. That’s could in turn help those hopefuls find a modicum of extra motivation to improve. Maybe 200 more ideas like that and something can happen in the future

This is a great 20 year old thread..
Bad part is seeing some of the guys like Steve and Dale who are no longer with us...
Just like Ames.

Thanks, Dave. All the best.

The Dynaspheres are a fantastic set, almost across their entire line. I had a Tungsten set, then upgraded to the Bronze set. The only difference was with the colors, both sets played fantastic. The Rhodium set seems to go with grey for the 6 and the 14 balls, instead of green, but I don't see any cross-color confusion with that change. They're probably the best deal going right now, and I'm glad I bought mine.
The link garczar posted will give you more info than you'll probably need, but the short answer is get them.

Well, speaking of gambling, in case anyone has noticed, the major pool sponsors of big events on the WNT tournament trail are gambling sites.
