I've watched date night where the couple drink beer and it looks like they are playing three cushion because balls rarely find a pocket.
Filler and TRex. Tue -Wed at Roys

Seriously. Watching beginners at California Billiards miss ball after ball makes you wonder why anyone bothers to pick up pool.
Do you play there?
What year was that?
Memorial Day weekend 2012.
Thanks- I would have guessed 2013- not too far off! Can’t believe how time flies the older you get
I think if they can set up a Billy Thorpe vs Filler set, it would be huge for 1p. 2x DCC 1p champ vs all-world #1 pool player. Throw in a couple Predator cues and a jb case, they can raise 10-15K in raffle easy for the players(similar to the Filler vs DD raffle, 15K+).
Pool scene needs matches like this to garner excitement.

I thought the raffles were for Aranas and his little one?
I've played 1pocket on tables set up like that and the game becomes something other than 1pocket.
You need a reasonably tough target but you also want to be able to shoot the full compliment of shots that make the game interesting and exciting.

I've seen the same thing.
Guys come into the room and get on these tough 9' Diamonds for the first time and look foolish. It may be great for serious players but it's probably killed a lot on interest in the sport amongst casual players.

I see, said the blind man.
On super tight equipment there will be sell outs more frequently. After moving for inning after inning one might be left with only the option of a really hard shot.
If you miss that shot you sell out. Most players even good ones can't make every hard shot into really tight pockets.
