CSI Podcast 16 at the Rio in Las Vegas, NV! Monday, July 20!

Good to hear Mark G. feels good enough to play pool again. Johnnyt

Questions:

What did you think of The Hustlers TV show?

Will CSI be publishing Fargo ratings of pro players?

Thoughts on the reasons MD withdrew from the 14.1?

I understand why you'd use 7-footers in your open tournaments, since you've already got hundreds of them there for your league tournaments. But why not use a couple of 9-footers for your one-on-one challenge matches? Was there a practical reason or was it more to stick to the 7-foot "philosophy?"

This is what I have gathered from paying attention the past few years:

- CSI is still interested in having professional players play in their events.
- CSI is not interested in promoting large scale professional events on 9 foot pool tables.

If those two things are true would CSI be interested in a "Professional" Bar Table? (I know CSI doesn't call them bar tables but the rest of us will continue to do so for the rest of eternity.)

Maybe that's a question that should be directed towards Diamond but do you think there would be a market for a more difficult bar table, maybe even one with snooker style pockets?

Anyone at CSI know if Greg from Diamond ever got Simonis to make a slower cloth? I really think that a bit slower cloth on a 7' Diamond would make it play more like a pool table than an air hockey table. Champion Tour plays nice on all the Valley's I've owned. Johnnyt
