/agree. There are many largely unknown faceless travelers doing in tough in the snooker world also but there does seem to be a larger base of comfortable pro players. The fact that snooker went through it's boom period in the 80's when it was literally the number one sport in Britain, actually...

These threads I've read about professional pool players struggling makes me wonder, if the money in pro pool is spread so thin, why don't the top players try to make a dent in the snooker world? I've seen the 14.1 world championships being happy, rightly so, about a US$70,000 total prize fund...

I think the best all-around cue sport player ever is Walter Lindrum. Many of you probably haven't heard of him before but he was the greatest billiards player ever. He has the highest ever break, over 4000, which consisted of approx. 1900 consecutive scoring shots. I started out playing...
