9-Ball needs to be fixed

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.

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.

The contention that the one ball goes in the side 90% of the time under the current rules and it’s as easy as making the wing ball with the 1 on the spot is just flat wrong. No one who actually watches WNT pool with regularity would make that claim.

Play 9-ball on tight table or play triangle racked 10-ball. I prefer the latter.

Yes, that's the choice. I'll take 9ball over any call shot game and the "ten ball last" version of 10ball is just silly, but 10ball is still an entertaining game to watch.

To each his own, but these days there are lots of events on offer in both disciplines so both the pro player and the serious fan can pick and choose.
