I'm positive you're right about the content sales to the various platforms. Barry Hearn mentioned that in the article in Billiard Digest August of 2021. He said that content sales weren't bringing the same price that it had. I would guess that has to do with the availability but Matchroom has...

I'll have to do some searching but there is another company doing similar things a friend told me about. I want to see computer chips in cue balls so we can tell what kind of spin is being applied and how much.

That would make watching a match more interesting!

Matchrooms posting style is different than that of the World Billiard Channel so it's hard to tell by event. I don't doubt those numbers but wonder where you get the numbers from? Could that number be the sum of all YouTube, website and social media views, likes and follows? Sounds like this is...

I would agree with you, but the lack of views for some of the YouTube videos is concerning.

Pretty cool stuff indeed.

You're right, I'm finding it prohibitively expensive. The Sports Bar is more geared towards the recreational adult who plays once a week, not the skill artist. Pool Rooms were glad to have your repeat business and made it affordable. We need those retired folks for parttime pool room owners to...

There is a huge disconnect between the Pro Players and the Amateurs and that is partly to blame for the Amateurs not knowing who the players are. I have never heard of a player led clinic but being retired if there was one nearby I'd go. I was all signed up for one of Mark Wilsons when the...

America was a huge incubator for Pool Players when there were rooms in every town. Jobs left and Pool left. Pool went from Main Street USA to the Side Street Recreation Center. Video games showed up and it moved to the strip mall at the sports bar. Amateur Leagues showed up and their young...

Find some viewers and it will fix itself.

Jam, Another thing a lot of these folks aren't taking into consideration is the number of events and the amount of sponsorship it takes to go to all of them because players are also in a race to collect ranking points which you only get if you play them. I think I saw 30 tournaments...

At this point Pool doesn't get the views needed to support itself commercially. Enjoying the Pool we have now and not over-extending the program seems the right thing to do.

Good looking set.

Thanks. Got them both.

I've watched a fair amount of women's matches of women beyond the level of watchability. They play as if they are scared to death instead of trusting what they know and its like you're watching them teach themselves how to play, rather than watching them play. This comes from doubting the aiming...

An interesting aside here....I was playing 9 ball with a friend once and we had been at it awhile and he was racking and I said, "Speed Pool" and he said, let's do it. We played 26 racks in one hour. No safeties that I remember just going for it. It was a great teaching tool and I highly...

I was watching women's matches that occurred before the 30 second shot clock became the thing. If you didn't put women on the shot clock the only matches worth watching were the matches between the top 6 players in the world of that division. Now because of the shot clock women's pool is...

Not unless you're prepared to sling a lot of money at it and production costs a ton anyway. Around 300k per table just for the camera crew and live feed into YouTube and then if they've never done it before, they have to learn it because there are all kinds of specials that have be integrated...

A 3rd party did this, I'm sure. It's still pool just no fluff.

A few years ago my wife's businesses rent went up. She mentioned it so asked, "what is your rent?" It was so low that I started looking into the rents available in the small towns of the South by calling the Chambers of Commerce. If you are ready with a checkbook when something becomes...
