Changing times? Computer and video game technology? If your really honest about it you know that real pool players never spend more than they have to and they are always looking to get FREE.....so its a good thing for pool to have alot of bangers, maybe not for your pool table condition though. No one wants to get serious about pool for money in my opinion becasue there is no serious money in it, people are wiser than before, maybe. One thing for sure is that the plethra of knowledge available and the internet sure has knocked alot of the profitability of gambling with pool, you can pretty much get a line on someone in a instant or soon enough, with a phone call or a look on the internet. In my area we have several players aspiring to get better, they are younger in low to mid twenties, but most have found out that the money in pool is very hard to come by. I believe the IPT was the best chance pool had for up and coming players unfortunatly it took a nose dive, maybe it will be ressurected? Pool needs something along those lines in order to appeal to the masses of young and old to invest their time in pool. Maybe we will go through another great depression like the 20 and 30's and the pool halls will again be filled with poor gamblers trying to rob each other and then the owners get to rob them all for the table time!
