Seen Matlock run around 40 without a miss. That's what, 8 games worth? Lots of safety play.

No one said they don't like a good safety. The problem with tight pockets is it changes the game from one of offense to way too much ducking. As for the 3foul rule? That rarely happens unless the balls just end up funny making a 3f likely. BTW, One-pocket and 10b both have 3foul rules. I can't understand calling yourself a billiards fan if you don't know that.

While the thread is focused on rotation games, there is no game that would benefit more from larger pockets than bank pool. Top players may have potting percentages under 50%, and B&R's are rare. It is a great game, but difficult to watch, even when the world's best are playing.

Remove the 4'' and make em all 4 1/4'' for pro play.
Return aggressive rotation play back to it's roots.
Letting European minds make the pockets this small hurts the game/sport and the audience.
Seeing Gorst choose a safety, when he can cut a ball in is SAD.
The women pros NEVER use 4'' pockets.
For good reason.
