Top Ten pool items in the last 10-20 years

I believe that the measles cue ball is the single best innovation in cue sports in the last twenty years. Not far behind are AZBillilards and the Brunswick Gold Crown IV.
 
Youtube
The main way to see any snooker competition on the west side of the pond.
There are even a few things on games there that interest viewers of this category:D

TV on the net
The only way to see snooker live on the west side of the pond
 
For Me

1). AZ Billiards (what a great place to learn and make friends) (a pool
passion revived) :D :D :D
2). Youtube(pool videos)

Joe Tucker's Third Eye Stroke Trainer ... awesome tool that everybody should have - and to think that I once laughed at it and asked Joe why he had a pitchfork on his cue ... lol

I don't think that the innovation of the jump/break cue has been around very long either - I think that is worth mentioning also - it completely changed the game.

and one of my favorites... THE DIAMOND TABLE - a table designed by players FOR players!
 
In (my) order:

0/ TOP favorit: my g/f. she alowed me to put a 9ft diamond in our house, she alows me to play every monday + wensday : team competition, every saterday and sunday: ranking events, opens, nationals, state C, she lets me talk about it 24/7. i couldn't love someone so obessed by a game as i am. i have NO idea how she does it, but she does, and thats why i love her. (and asking her to marry me in 2weeks)
1/ AZBilliard
2/ youtube and p2p programs
3/ colin collenso (break and BHE, solved my 2 biggest problems)
4/ gloves
5/ break-rak
6/ poolcomps.com (to train my pattern play)
7/ tip pick
8/ measle ball
9/ mp3 players to enjoy music while playing


AAAAAARf, i can't believe no one even posted it, and i forgot about it.

predator 314 shaft. maybe the ob-1 is better (i love mine) but the 314 was first. and it became huge.

accu-stats. sooo important. i wouldnt have seen all the greats play without them.

pool glove. currently use a felice one. the smoothest stroke physically possible.

aramith spotted cue ball. such a clever idea and so simple. works brilliantly.

When were the league systems brought into the mix? I would have to give them a credit as well, even if you dont like them, they do draw and retain an aweful lot of players to the sport.
