Justin Bergman vs Tom Cousins

most sports have lots of dead periods.

and yes, if you are a complete layman one pocket is boring or too confusing to watch.

that is where 9 ball comes in. and to an extent 8 ball as most have played it in a bar.

and soccer is loke that but the running around is a build up to the big excitement.

9 ball shooting the 9 in is not exciting its just the same as all the previous easy shots. the early shots are or can be exciting as you have decisions to make. by the time you get to the money ball its mostly all over and just popping in a hanger.

my case to make is that 9 ball with be the death of pool on tv. where there is a place for one pocket.

perhaps someone will come up with a game more exciting than both can provide and save pool.

you really cant hit it hard without creating the speed to make it hit hard.

you can use a long or short stroke but to make the cueball travel a certain distance you are going to have to give it the speed.

just like allan hopkins with his short jerky punch stroke, or whatever you call it. he got lots of distance and draw. as good as most. but he had the speed with his punch stroke to create that energy.

in other words if you can say create 25 mph speed in a short stroke or a long one. both will hit just as so called hard.
