I don't even know what is on my shafts. Every time I do have tips put on I find the cheapest softest tip they have to put on. All tips play and get harder but what I've found with the soft tips is if they are softer they take chalk better. Whatever this is I'm playing with hasn't had one miscue...

I you had asked me before this thread I would have thought otherwise. It is without a doubt that breaking into the Amateur Pool Leaguers world with pool related content doesn't look promising due to the habits of the pool players. Maybe there is a niche that would work to get word out to the...

Understood but let me explain a bit more. There are an estimated 34 million people who play pool at least a few times a year, with 11 or more million that play more than 4 times per month. Such is the disconnect between amateur and professional that they really don't know much about pro pool...

That's crystal clear thanks. I will go back and look at dr. daves explanation to see what didn't make sense to me.

Here a screenshot from Dr. Dave's explanation of the Accustats formula. I can't complete the formula the way it's explained. Can someone clear this up for me please remembering I am not a mathematician.

I would love to see someone do something with 8-ball and I think you're right about the back stories or storylines being important.

I think I'd replace your one pocket with straight pool because its easier to watch for newbies into the game. It occurs to me that in this thread, no one except for me has even mentioned the sharing of the videos we have to the players that exist in their social circle. That tells me that this...

You're right but every match can't be the Mosconi Cup. It's a great thought.

That's a great idea. I will have to remember that one. Do you have any idea how to make something like that work?

It's a pipe dream worth dreaming if dreams turn into realities of millions of people loving professional pool. Many of us, self-included would like to find the way. At the end of that path would be the golden goose for Pool.

I rarely go here but there is Matchroom live on demand. I have a free account there--free--- I imagine there is also a fair amount available for purchase. I rarely go there but since you mentioned it, I logged in and I'm looking around now to see what they have.

I understood the story, you made a point but consider this: Matchroom has always made Pool available to the US audience that is willing to pay for it. They have a business model. ESPN from my understanding doesn't pay for content so its unlikely you'll see Pool on ESPN. It may be free exposure...

Nice history. I remember when 8-ball was big as a game. I played it well because I understood the strategy. Today 9-ball is the new game and as you are suggesting Matchroom is in the process of standardizing that game with its nineball. branding. With Predator Group doing 10-ball, Matchroom...

Great post. You covered a great deal of the reasons that regular pool players in the rooms should be able to connect with the game. Historically before CSI's involvement with Predator. Pool League Pool had no reason to be concerned with play at the Pro Level. Perhaps now they will have a...

I don't want to go into supreme detail here too many things actually so let's go the one. Matchroom was there a long time ago and snooker has been big a long time ago in places american style pool has not been. It's had a long time to build its following.

There is a moral to story here in those two posts and stu's below them. You have to get people involved who are in the pool room to get them interested in watching your pool videos if you want to go after that part of the market, if you care to go after it that way. What is easier is just put...

There may be something to this. I would just as soon not watch the racking, break time etc. The high cost is when you miss out on some of the racks but you get the most of it. It's hard to make Pool exciting unless you start cutting down the time to reply and if you shorten that time too much...

Matchroom was early in that game.

I play with the softest tip I can find for one reason, chalk retention.

I posted this in the wrong forum. Up early, I guess. I will ask that it's moved to the Main. I don't disagree with your statement, but the pandemic has changed the viewership habits of a lot of people and I think its possible that people who a one time might not know who the pro players are...
