Next will b changing the design of the pool table……..make it 8 pockets by adding a pocket in the middle
of the foot rail and head rail but make the pocket 3.50 inches to be used as a bailout shot…..WTF…..the
game has lost followers because the industry at large has done nothing to promote the game of pool. There
is nothing wrong with the game but there is a lot wrong with the myopic, disjointed professional organizations
associated with pool. From BCA to WPA and all of the cottage industries connected to pool merchandising
there has been a lack of vision, planning, recruiting, promoting, the game itself that’s survived unchanged just
like bowling and duck pins. If you do not sell, i.e., promote, the product, i.e., pool, it is not going to grow in
popularity. And only by expanding participation and interest in the game of pool does its future change for the
better. Until there is a concerted, funded, industry commitment to change, we are all riding on the ship, Titanic.
