Feijen at 49 plays as well as he did in his early 40s. Souquet, at 57, is still a very dangerous opponent and won the European 8ball championship at 55. Buddy Hall won the US Open 9ball at 53. Bustamante didn't win the World 9ball title until the age of 46. Jose Parica was still a stone-cold killer at age 50. Earl Strickland was brilliant in his late 40s. Just last year, the 47-year-old David Alcaide won a WNT major and was on Team Europe at the Mosconi.

Let's not leave Warren Kiamco off this list. Not a world beater, but well beyond middle-aged I'd stake him against damn near anyone commenting on an AZB post.

Hello AZers. My name is Nick. I recently purchased Pooldawg8's milk dud press and forms as he is no longer making milk duds for health reasons. I will be pressing 14mm Triangles as shown in the photo.
These pressed Triangles have been tested locally for the past 3 months and have been received well. They play med hard with excellent grip on the cue ball. If you are interested in purchasing some, they are $6 a piece with a minimum order of 5. A $10 shipping fee with tracking USA only. Payment is paypal F&F or postal money order. No exceptions!
The tip on the left in the photo is stock. The tip on the right is pressed.
After popular request, I have decided to make Milk Duds. Same price as Pressed Triangles. Check them out.

A 30$ minimum for 5 tips is a pretty smoking deal. If you look around you may be able to help out on better shipping prices and still include tracking. Keep up the good work and post away in this forum. A lot of builders/repair individuals don't look anywhere else for items that would help them make some extra $.

What is a "Professional" Pool Player? (Your Definition)

D
A thread spun off into whether or not a particular young woman is a professional. So, separate from a specific player, I am curious what people consider the necessary criteria to be a "pro," broadly speaking.

Never before in sports have the amateur/pro lines been so blurred, with the introduction of NIL deals into college and now high school sports. Cross country runners that couldn't take $300 for winning the local Turkey Trot without running afoul of NCAA rules can now have a million-dollar Nike deal. It goes well beyond just the high-profile, revenue sports.

So, apparently income alone does not make one a "professional." Or in the world of pool, does it?

In your opinion, to call oneself a "professional" pool player, one should do what (and is it "all of the following"? or just one or two things)?
