Anybody else think a big part of pool's problem is with there being so many Gold Crown tables that are so well built around that there wasn't a market for another big corporation to manufacture tables and promote pool? Tables made since 1962 are still a big percentage of tables in pool halls. Aside from manufacturers that worked with ESPN, there really wasn't been any manufacturer to get behind pool for decades until Diamond.
There is a lot of potential for a company like Diamond to promote the game. Maybe Rasson will make a push if they want a bigger share of the American market. We need more big events.
I think there needs to be more events targeting advanced amateur players who would flock to big events with a real shot at the money. There is a lot of potential to increase involvement for the group that can make pool more wide open like poker. Be it by handicapping by fargo rate or whatever.
