For a true, fair comparison, even the tables should be the same specifications, i.e., size, cloth, rail height & pocket size.
7’ tables are hardly the test of your pool skills and I’ve proven that to myself. On a 7’ table, my best run in 9 ball was 3 consecutive runouts and I missed on the 7 ball or it might have been 4 in a row. Running the table on a 7’ table Is far easier than on a 9’ table and BTW, the runout I’m referring to was on 7’ Diamond tables. But on 9’ Diamond tables, I’ve never accomplished that and I mainly play on 9’ tables. I’ve run 2 racks in 9 and 10 ball but still haven’t reached 3 games.
And my runout % on a 7’ table is much higher than what I can achieve on 9’ tables regardless of the game played.
Mike Page still has to learn that bigger tables do play more difficult than smaller ones. Just get your ass on a 10’ table
with pocket size not larger than 4.5” and see how you do. Then go play on a 7’ table. That’s pool table reality in action.
All ball fouls don’t belong in APA, BCA, etc. There’s too many sloth like players & also beer consumption for it to work.
However, for pool tournaments, all ball fouls should be used. That’s how pool used to be played and IMO, should be.
