The way that Maurice Daly put it is:

"[...] I do not know of anything that prevents improvement, that keeps fairly good players back in their game so much as making the wrong shot and then having it come out well. (Daly's Billiard Book, page 171)​

I met one pretty good nine ball player who shot all his three-cushion kicks hard and with lots of draw. He could sometimes make hits that way. I think it's usually the wrong way to play three-cushion kicks.

It's funny how pool has an answer right in front of them and they ignore it.
Why not allow fans to impact the match? Just like basketball and other major sports.
Inject some excitement into our pool sport. If fans know they can become part of the action, more will attend.
Let's stop with the boring "library environment" and let's get some ARENA POOL going.

Let's separate the players who can handle real pressure and can thrive in it.
Filler, Gorst, Shaw, and SVB (deaf) are just a few of the names that immediately come to mind.

There's pool's answer right there.

Maybe that will attract viewers. I, personally, will hate it. I don’t even like Mosconi Cup when the fans don’t settle down when the players are actually down on the shot.

Now fans cheering for the players after good shots and so on is great. Just be quiet when they are shooting.
