    My Observations From the Super Billiards Expo

    Yes… a lot more then there seems to be now. There was a lot of venders this year compared to some past years but they were mostly selling the same stuff. I hear ya.. I would like to try something new like longoni cues but I just don’t want to get used to a different cue and I’ve been playing...

    Super Billiards Expo 2026

    Look at the top 20 players and how they are living. They aren’t millionaires but they aren’t living in their car either. Things are changing with matchroom and the predator events. Did you see the house filler just bought? Jason Shaw is doing well. Lots are. Again are they making nfl , nba or...

    Super Billiards Expo 2026

    That’s not really true anymore lol there is plenty beside them doing well living off of pool. It’s not easy though . It’s not like golf where you can barely be good enough to make the cut and still be a millionaire

    Super Billiards Expo 2026

    Yeah..until they made it a matchroom event the turn out had completely fallen off. Only pro’s that were close were showing up. Shane isn’t worried about making the mosconi lol

    The problem is the payout is shit . Getting into the top 16 doesn’t even pay travel costs unfortunately

    My Observations From the Super Billiards Expo

    Im ok with the Roku price.. it’s better. I don’t miscue often but I do with taom lol but to each his own. a piece of Roku lasts me over a year and a half and I play just about every day. So in the grand scheme of things what’s an extra $10 🤷‍♂️

    My Observations From the Super Billiards Expo

    If you saw my post the cut the action room down for some reason no one knows why. Btw go sunday.. saturday is the busiest day and sunday is the slowest . No one there and you get to watch all the finals of all the tournaments. I’m a predator fan boy as well.. I think all the complaining...

    Super Billiards Expo 2026

    No.. hasn’t been for a few years . It’s hit or miss with that. Women are playing in the pro even though.

    Why is the APA so frowned upon?

    This was from 16 years ago and I don’t feel this way anymore now that I’ve played years in this and many leagues.

    Another stupid thread from me: golf is harder than pool

    Being a player of both they share a lot of similarities . I do think the fundamentals of swinging a golf club with the changes that have to made for many different shots and the mechanics are more difficult.

    Gambling room all but gone at the expo?

    really? What in the hell. There has to be a reason like the local authority came down on him for gambling. I have no problem with it because imo it’s horrible for the game but there has to be a reason. It’s no like Allen is against gambling lol

    Gambling room all but gone at the expo?

    I’m heading there tomorrow so this is from a friend who’s been there all weekend but the gambling room which used to be packed with bar box’s only has 1 bark box and a couple 9 footers ? While I’m fine with that because i think the gambling holds the game back to get bigger I’m wondering why...
