Looked it up. Its a big outdoor/patio/grilling show. Don't really see how pool tables fit in.

HPB is Hearth, Patio, and Barbeque. I wonder if Brunswick is aware of the BCA Expo. They haven't attended in a while.

And words I hear from my sources: That ain't gonna change. Have you heard of BIG ??? Things are about to start changing soon! I am SUPER EXCITED FOR THE FUTURE OF POOL! The old expo's and business model for pool is STALE. FUTURE = BILLIARD INDUSTRY GROUP.

Please explain how Brunswick going to the Hearth Patio and Barbecue Expo is the future of pool, exactly?

Do your research and you may see what I see. I am not in the business of convincing you of anything, if you wanna buy something pool related, I can handle that. Have a nice day.

P.s. My company has never been to a billiards industry trade show since it started. Hmm, I seem to be busier than a one legged man in a kicking contest! I am looking for NEW pool customers, not pool players.

While working with John Lewis in BCA office I heard 90% of billiard products are not sold to pool players or pool rooms.
Homeowners is where the $ is/was and I'm sure still is.

Exactly! So for pool to actually grow, it needs new players. Home owners want a pool table more than ever.... The current expo's and tradeshows just cost people money and for what?? To advertise(donate my time and money) to people who want to buy below wholesale? No thanks, I am in business to make money. Again, never been to a tradeshow since 2011 when I started my company, I guess if I am busy, what do I need to spend that time and money for?
tft

p.s. we will be trying some of the NEW tradeshows and see what happens.

You forgot butt. In our neck of the woods its "busier than a 1 legged man in an ass (or a butt) kicking contest".

Pickleball?

Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in the U.S. and I play a couple times per week. Easier to learn than tennis, but faster and more fun.
