I go by the opinion of do whatever the hell you want. I don't care if it's a 15 year old or a 50 year old. It's a free country. If a kid wants to dedicate himself to xyz, so be it. Dedicating yourself to any sport, even the major ones that pay millions, for 99.999% of people will result in less...

Bassavich WAS a top player though (national level, not world level). He'd probably be 780 speed in today's context. Drugs are what did him in.

In college in 2002 I needed to take a couple of electives to graduate. One I took was called "Sociology of Sports". One of the main themes of the class was spending one's entire youth to become a sports star was about the same longshot as winning the lotto. The sports were the major USA ones...

There was a matte black GC4 with silver trim option. It's the best looking one IMO. Most are the mahogany finish with the bronze trim.

Also nearly every single middle and high school already has a combo football/lacrosse/soccer/track field. To get Chinese 8 ball in the USA popular a room owner would need to replace all of his pool tables with C8B tables. Never going to happen.

I was about to tag him! WTF!!!

Another perspective is if this was a 25 year old, it wouldn't be a big deal, right? We'd all be tuning in without judgment. What's the difference between 16 and 25? Yes, I KNOW there is some difference. But when it comes down to it, I personally don't think my brain was much different at 16 vs...

OP is long gone!

Yeah I def want to sell them when ready. The first ones I made were too difficult to print and assemble. I wouldn’t want to sell those, even though they turned out great. I used white as that’s what I had in the printer. But prob a black or dark grey for whatever the final version will be.

@jimstone how are you doing?:)

Get it out of the Middle East entirely. They are not sporting nations. Fans don’t show up. We have 15 years of proof of that now. Throwing oil money at it doesn’t work. Move it to the Philippines or Vietnam, or Taiwan, or Germany, or the USA, etc.

On the matchroompool website: TLDR: moving, not announced where. Purse still 1MM USD. https://matchroompool.com/news/wnt-statement/

3-6 innings! Are you ok? More like 20 innings!

I despise 8 ball. But the short rack version racked like 9 ball is actually fun and good for a tournament. Its a "run-out" game instead of a "pocket blocking bunt ball" game. We have one in my city once it a while and I played in it a couple of times.

Thomas killed him 21-13. Colson missed a LOT of straight in shots. He got lucky on a lot of those misses and left Thomas tough. I think the score would have been further apart otherwise. The table was tough, both players were feeling it. Thomas def played way better though. I can see Colson...

I think for girls it might be better. Even if they are not champions, they can make a living with fans. A 730 male is a hero locally but broke on the national level. A 650 female might be able to milk her nationwide fan base and do well.

Thomas up 10-5. Race to 21.

What about the "influencers"? Are they better or worse off than young promising athletes?

The kid can't get there I don't think. Its 3-3. But he keeps making unforced errors and getting a roll out of it.
