A 1/16th of an inch isn't worth the hassle or cost of repairing.
Agreed. In fact, the Mosconi Cup, more than anything, introduced American pool to European players and fans.Yeah I agree 100% on this. But Matchroom is in in showbiz market and that's their bread and butter so it was kind of obvious that Mosconi Cup was gradually transformed into flashing lights, noisy crowds and chest-pounding player antics. Does it appreciate the sport? No way. Does it make players sweat? Yeah! Is it good entertainment? Well, compared to other silent and serene tournaments, I have to say deinitely. I can tolerate one carnival event per year.
How is this any different? The 2 ball is already random. They will still cut the headball and shoot at the lowest ball, which would be the 1 ball instead of the 2.hide the 1 ball in the stack and the breaker can hit any ball first?
why hasn’t this been tried?
One of his incidents came playing in the White Spot weekly 9 ball tournament. He made the 8 and scratched. The rules we were playing by called for the 8 to be spotted. He retrieved the cueball and handed it to his opponent then sat down. .Had the pleasure of playing him at a regional event once. He was the opposite of a sportsman or a gentleman.
Agreed 100%. The WNT break is actually pretty difficult.Not only that.
If someone will actually have the chance to try this break under the same conditions with 4 inch pockets and new cloth and balls, they will find that it is very hard to find the right spot of contact and speed.
And in many times there is no shot on the 2 ball when the 1 is made.
Not only that.Agreed. No way it goes in 90%. It's well over 70% for the elite players, but the cut break needed to make the one in the side from the narrow WNT break box means that the days of playing specific shape off the break shot are behind us.
