I get this. Still doesn't excuse the MFGers from sleeping on precision equipment. Where's the training facilities? You got Mr. Chamberlain selling large 3 digit numbers. That seems to be it.

Who is going to fund a pool training facility?

If you think it is profitable, maybe you should be the first to open one and then start franchising them when you start making money.

Pool will never get a lot of interest or recognition until it is an Olympic event.

There aren't enough "good" players to keep a pool room open.

"Normal" players want to make balls and play socially, not struggle in a "pro" environment where they never make a ball.

When is a 5/16x18 not a 5/16x18? (Vintage-y cue question)

T
Hi folks. I recently bought an Adam "Jim Rempe" cue, which I'm to understand is from the early 80s. It's got a 5/16x18 piloted joint pin, and its shaft screws easily onto my Valhalla cue that has a 5/16x18 pin, other than the fact that the Valhalla is not piloted.

However, the Valhalla's shaft screws onto the Adam only with a considerable amount of effort in the last 1/8-1/4 inch, like it gets really tight and you have to put some muscle on it to get the faces of the joints to finally touch.

As far as I can see (and measure with calipers) the Adam's pin is basically the same specs, so what gives? Have any of you folks experienced this?

Same ole thing though. The room becomes an entity and maybe it survives on the merits of subcultures and camaraderie. Meanwhile,

Pickle Ball, Cornhole, Internet, and whatever else stands in the way of pool's golden age.

I don't think anybody's advocated eliminating buckets. The reverse on the other hand seems to be doing just that; curbing the competitive growth of the genre for the greater fun - ???? WTF?

And I was 34 living in Palo Alto playing pool in a bar on California Ave called Antonio’s Nut House.
Owner Tony Mantooth had an automated gorilla in a cage. You put in a quarter and the gorilla would scoop out a basket of peanuts and hand it to you through the food door of the cage.

Fun place to hang out with a quarter bar box!
