I’ve actually been wanting to go through Wimberley but for other reasons. I hear they got nice antique shops, good restaurants and a fun vibe. I’m going to Fredericksburg in two weeks for the same reason. Wimberley is next on my list.

My two favorite places in San Antonio. Bananas in SA. This is more of a serious players hall. Fast Eddie’s Embassy Oak. More casual in my opinion but has league and a pretty lively crowd. The strip center this is in has good options all around it for food, movies and other bars if you’re want...

Wow. A lot to digest. You gotta love the improvisation. This is what it’s all about. Making it work for you. The dial indicator mod. My favorite. I can’t count how many times I’ve wanted to sort that problem out but put it off. That’s a really good solution that makes a strong argument for...

I don’t either. But they’re more open about usage and it doesn’t carry the same stigma it once did. Back in the day a housewife smoking a bowl was looked upon negativity. Now she’s just a mom who needed a mid day puff to relax. Like a glass of wine at lunch.

One thing is for sure. None of these younger cultures that pool desperately needs to reach gives two craps about drug testing in pool. They’re buying recreational weed and enjoying the occasional bump while microdosing shrooms for Sunday’s bbq. What a waste of time and resources drug testing...

Love it. Let me know, I’d definitely want some. I’m a sucker for different and unique.

Interesting. I’d say pattern and I’d mix it up color wise too. Lights, darks, blacks etc. could make for some very unique stuff. Count me as a buyer.

This is a good point. There’s a lot of factors to consider. I put together a few cues that were forward playing or weighted more north than you typically find with a cue that has a significant weight bolt. For me personally, to achieve a forward playing cue, I prefer a heavier cue with no...

I’ll check the video when I have a chance to listen. Too noisy where I’m at. There’s excess in all parts of the game. But a rack is part of the game like it or not. If someone learns to play better off of rack gaps then anyone can do it. So be it. There’s always going to be evolutions of how...

So to summarize having knowledge and using 5 seconds to apply it is a bad thing?

2 weight divisions. Husky and not husky.

I like it. If you decide to sell it let me know.

Lol @ some here thinking marijuana use is a problem for the billiard industry. As they pour themselves another beer, scotch or whiskey in between trips outside to choke down another disgusting cigarette. Certainly shows just how antiquated and out of touch with reality some here are. If...

That’s wild.

What are they making? I honestly haven’t been paying attention.

I know. The question was about revenue streams and how these organizations/events turn a profit. They do generate money. I’m not claiming to be an expert on revenue sharing etc but traditional prize money isn’t going to grow this sport. I don’t see an issue if a player expects a percentage...

Some of the push back in this thread is nothing more than the negative connotation that comes with the buzzword “union”. Which largely resonates with an older crowd. Younger people don’t fear buzzwords like “union” or “socialism” etc. They don’t get caught up in all that. It’s just verbiage...

I can’t speak to the full scope but based on views it looks like YouTube generates a fair amount of money. I have no idea about the details of something like DAZN

It’s not like billiards is thriving and this threatens to destroy a cohesive league. At this point any form of organizing at least speaks to solidarity. This sport desperately needs infrastructure.

Union is a nasty buzzword. There certainly needs to be some type of unification within the sport for it to grow. Not an apples to apples comparison for obvious reasons but take something like the UFC. It’s thrived because of the central nature of the competition. Now that wasn’t something the...
