Hows this for an answer......I do not care what you use for tables,,,or what size they are.....If you do not know HOW to run and manage a billiard business.....you are gone in a year.....Everyone wants to OWN a room....very few want to work and run it....i.e. most owners dont even know what a good table is and how to service....recover....and keep them playing like pro equipment....they have to "farm that work out" WRONG.....This is not an ice cream parlor.....Check out my post in Billiard room owners discussion......You need to know HOW TO MAKE MONEY IN THE BILLIARD BUSINESS.....MOST PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE A CLUE.......Another example......The worst customer you can have in your room is Pool Players......How do you like that for a crazy industry..??? IT IS TRUE......
Seems like what Glenn says
To make money in billiards you gotta have a nice club top notch food, lounges, probably dancing
That attracts everyone but players
Oh and toss in a few tables somewhere
Seems like there is no pool industry if that's the case
Just people that sell stuff to the players
Then what's the point of keeping equipment in top form when your target audience isn't players
The general population wouldn't know an aramith ball from a 20 dollar set , happily play with the replaceable tips you slide over the one that broke off and on and on
