It's not about straight shooting primary, tight pockets require better moving and safety play, and there is a bigger difference in that aspect of the game than shotmaking.

I agree tight pockets favor better defender because there will be less break and runs That favors Filler even more, besides he's a great shooter, his defensive game is great too, I give him an edge on that over Shaw and Gorst, even Shane Besides Kazakis, Kaci and Albin are really good defensive...

Pool players need to look professional while they are gambling. Did you see how Djokovic and Federer were dressed when they gambled last time, in every other sport, athletes have a dress code because they don't want to look unprofessional while they are gambling

But why you don't watch it? Are they dressed badly? I can't see any other reasons people don't watch something? :) I think that you want to improve that image for you, and that's ok. But why are you saying it's important for a non-playing audience, they don't care I am sorry, English is my...

You won't see it, because no one streaming that snooker match, most of the snooker audience never picked a cue, and don't know anything about the game, they are just interested to watch the world top 20 players who are famous You guys don't know what you want You want a non-playing audience to...

Did you see my other posts? Pool was growing constantly last 20 years before the pandemic Popularity is declining only in the USA Maybe non-pool playing audience don't want to watch how Estonians, Greeks, Albanians, and other countries with a population smaller than some cities in the USA beat...

he wants to sell jerseys too

Do you guys think that pool has huge potential but no one can see it? Investors and sponsors don't give their money because they like it but because it pays off If the pool is on TV, someone would watch it for sure, but is it profitable? Probably not, because no one wants to invest you guys...

As I said, there's always something that could be better, but it's going the right way outside of America In almost every country in Europe, there are a bunch of players under 25 years old who play great, and 20 years ago you couldn't find a decent pool hall in most of these countries

and what's wrong with pool, that it needs to be fixed? I agree there can always be something better, but there is like 10 times more players in the world than 30 years ago, the game is getting global I think that the USA has a problem with pool, because other countries dominated it

And it is on In Matchroom events, there is a dress code, in world championship too, china open too Tournament that someone stream from pool room with the cellphone isn't a pro event only because someone streaming it and there are some good players in the bracket

Or play with predator cue or don't play :D

It's not about expenses it's about that I am a customer (not literally me, players in a pool hall), and I don't want to dress like I am going to job. In the pro tour, players are employed, in an open tournament players are customers. When I was co-owner of the pool hall, I always wanted people...

Do you guys mean that average players in snooker rooms are dressed in suits or white shirts? In an average snooker room, there's also rock music, a lot of beer and smoke, everyone is dressed how they want Someone took 20-50-100 players, give them rules of conduct, pay them well, put it on tv...

I agree for Ignacio, I would rank them 1st tier (Orcollo, Biado) 2nd tier (Raga, Ignacio, Corteza) 3rd tier (Chua, Aranas, Gomez, De Luna, Banares) 4th tier (Faron, older guys like Kiamco, Alcano, Busti... they still can play on level of top 6-10 American players)

France replaced Albania, UK3 replace Canada

And don't forget marketing. If they ban jump cues, no one will buy it, and it's pretty big marketplace

Billy Thorpe shows a high opinion about Rob Saez

Talent isn't that much important in pool like in some physical sports. That’s why Americans are far away from European and Asian players, they don't practice enough. There were some players who dominated in the past even if they used drugs and alcohol or without practice, but it was before pool...
