Pro Pocket Size TOO Small for 9 Ball

we all have different preferences. I like watching 9 ball with the current size of pockets. I tried watching Chinese 8 ball, found it boring as hell. I don't mind a safety battle where players are trying to put their opponent in trouble. But I saw a "safety battle" where they weren't actually playing safeties, they were trying to tempt each other into going for the finish and neither player wanted to take the bait. Maybe I got unlucky with the first Chinese 8 ball match I watched, but it seems to me they have taken the small pockets thing too far.

Chinese pool sells fine I heard. Regardless, snooker jaws - and not their apertures, are what trigger the mindless defensive mode. I happen to like the challenge of tight pool pockets but I weather the BS about it because pool needs to evolve.

The question is who would want to watch pool played on pockets that tight? Pool already has a hard time drawing viewers, there is no reason to chase the few that watch away with long drawn out safety battles. There is nothing wrong with seeing good volley of safeties but it doesn't make for good viewing if it becomes 50% of the game.

Actually that's not even on the table. Americans invented pool but evidently not technical discipline. Even looks like pool happened by accident.

More status quoted dummness. It's a different pocket shape. Almost exactly like the pockets on the disc carom tables. It's a pool aid. Perfect the shotmaking before trying to compete.
