No wonder we can't bring home the cup! Everybodys afraid to play on the 'real' tables these days. I don't know about other areas, but recently here in the Colorado area, the only larger end tournaments with a decent payout are bar table tournaments. Not that I don't respect a good barbox game, but the Mosconi Cup, US Open, World 10 Ball, San Miguel tour........................................all the major events that draw international players are on 'real' (9 footers) tables.
Take "Joe" from APA against Earl in a race to 5 on a 9 footer, and he'll never win. Do the same on a bar box, and "Joe" from APA has chance.
RANT!
