Young up and coming players realize real quick that being a pro pool player is not a good financial decision and way of life.

As Molina Mike stated in one of his podcasts, it will be popcorn material if SVB, Fedor, Bergman and Sky don't go to the Philippines Open. All are not eligible if they do not play in that event. Is emily going to have the guts to cut them all out of the Mosconi Cup? I don't believe the USA...

Have attended both APA and BCA nationals/worlds at both locations. The Westgate is a way better setup and supports the organization and pool players a lot better. Also, easier to go to strip with the Monorail.

Sardo Rack by a mile.

I think one rail was the right shot, especially with the pressure. The thing that made it tricky was that he had to put right english on it in order to be able to hit the ball. There was a ball that was in the way with the straight kick. Having to put a slight touch of right english made it a...

It has nothing to do with the shaft. Players mark up the tables by contacting the cloth with their tip and dragging it along the path of the cue ball. Cue tips might play a very small factor but regardless of the type of tip, those players will still mark up the cloth.

I prefer blue but have only played on the Shark Grey in a couple matches. The gray looks better in the Mosconi Cup when the carpet is red/blue. Most home pool rooms will look better with blue because a LOT of people have gray walls. It always looks better with contrasting colors.

Sounds like most, if not all the victims at Schemengees were playing in a cornhole tournament, not that it makes it any better. None of the victims there had a fargo rating that I could find. Two of the victims at the Bowling alley appear to maybe have a fargo rating. Jason Adam Walker and...

WPA is a non-profit, so any money coming in has to go for salaries or go out. They have to stay within a budget and can keep a financial reserve. I don't think they have to share their financials. They have to keep to the rules of a non-profit.

I am kind of on the WPA side as well, but the only thing keeping that organization going is their affiliations with the federations. WPA's problem is there is really no benefit for a promoter to sanction their events. The only so called benefit is that you will guaranteed to have players from...

I don't think there really is a market for Shoes and Apparel. It's more putting logos on shirts and collars. There isn't a big enough market for someone to have their own shoe line for an example. Maybe in Vietnam or the Philippines.

JJ might as well go out with a bang and select Roberto Gomez with the last spot. Might as well not delay the inevitable and kickstart the process of having only a couple Americans on the team in the future.

This is an older article in 2017 but definitely gives a good summary on golf sponsorships and how that has trended. If Fedor can afford it, he should be hiring an agent to seek out sponsorships. https://golfweek.usatoday.com/2017/08/15/pro-golfers-play-field-when-it-comes-to-sponsorship-deals/

Surprised it hasn't happened yet. I think at this point it is more on the players to make the right moves and contact the major brands. Unfortunately most or all of the big players do not have higher education and don't have the knowledge of how to do it. They also don't have the money to be...

I think most are more of a creature of habit and don't adjust as quickly. For me, it's more how it feels in the hand while chalking. Played many many hours with the Taom and still can't adjust. But I am kind of messed up in the head a little and a little superstitious.
