Big Ko on Waxed Balls

Actually the cue ball is the one that becomes smaller over time.

It’s true that the CB is the one that wears down faster, but the other balls do also wear down.

So if you have an old ball set and the room replaces the CB, the CB could be a bit bigger.

By the way, for anyone who doubts that the CB wears down, stand a wooden rack on top of two OB (one on each corner) and then try to slide the CB under the rack. It usually slides under easily. If you try to slide an OB under the rack, it usually gets stuck.

suggestions on changing the break rules in big tournaments

Agreed. I watched some of the recent US Open matches as I was sweating bets I had on them. Past that, I’m just not interested anymore, MR has ruined it for me. Substandard tables at the majority of their events, grey cloth, funky colored balls and rule changes.

Also as you mentioned, commentary as well. I actually really liked JJ and Scott Frost when they started with Accustats, both very knowledgeable with good insights. Sadly as they have come under the employ of MR they seem to have forgotten pool terminology and comment in Snooker terminology exclusively, kissing their new bosses asses I suppose. Then there’s that Phil Yates clown, I don’t know how he got a job, must be someone’s nephew. All in all, MR’s attempts to attract a viewing audience has alienated me. I miss Accustats.
Don't forget the stupid pink 4 purple 5 thing either. If all I ever watched was MR I would probably get used to it but since MR is only 10-20% of what I watch I am always forced to correct myself and think about the next balls when the player is on the 3. As a viewer I shouldn't be required to think that hard just to follow a game.
