Just started watching the 10 ball on ultimate pool.

UP ruins the game.
Winning at pool means pocketing balls not playing the clock. This a disaster.
And handicapping rotation games by games ahead will never work, 99.9% of the time, the stronger players will win.
Adding sin upon sin, the bar box is a joke.

The 8ball shootout semi final and final had 18 break and run out, don’t tell me that bar box 8ball is harder than 9ft.
Let’s see these guys beat Filler on a 9ft.

It’s fun just as much as grabbing a house cue in a bar while having a few drinks and knocking some balls but when you want to play seriously, you’ll go to a pool hall and play on a 9ft.
This is the end of pool as we know it.

but if you thought this was a way to weed out the best player in the world you've totally misunderstood. they're promoting a league for amateurs, and the rest is a fun way for semipros, pros and ex-pros to duke it out. yes bergman and players of his level will play no miss pool on these tables, but if you look at the 750 and below most of the time they won't, especially with a short shot clock. and that can be quite intriguing.

that said, i didn't and won't watch 10-ball or 9-ball on a barbox, which i guess is the topic..

It's a game that gets under your skin.

So many top players are playing the game now.

There is a certain thrill associated with making a three rail bank, getting position and running out..........

The problem with Nine Ball is only the Nine has any value.

Does pool get under your skin?

Aramith Duramith balls getting dirty quicker than others?

They bought on of those cleaners for the bar that I play out of . They get cleaned about once a week when we play sunday leagues. The one captains gf works there and he comes in early to clean the table and balls. I was thinking about buying one of the ball cleaners but honestly they don’t look any better then my trusty bucket polisher I’ve been using for the last 15 years so I’ll save my money lol I’d love to buy the diamond ball polisher to match my table but I can’t justify the expense

There are 3/4 snooker cue tube cases, they are getting quite common. but most serious players still prefer the box style case.

I have not seen those.

I guess one tube is short?

From what I understand, top pros still carry one piece snooker cues.

I could be behind the times on that.

I watched a video on the box case construction from a leading maker. They are seriously well done.

I have only two snooker cues, one a Brunswick of Canada, the other a Dufferin. Both are 50/50.

Fargo includes 7 foot results. There have been a number of threads here about it:

sure, but that's in general. in the case of his UP matches, i don't think so.. at least the absence of waddingham, brennan, thompson et al indicates it doesn't

maybe mike can shed some light on this. either way 737 probably has him in the top echelon of the GB9. the brits are doing about as bad as the americans when it comes to new growth.
