U.S. OPEN 2026, Frisco, Texas, August 25-30

I am watching Tevez-Bijsterbosch and didn't remember how good they both are. Very fast and fluid game. Maybe one of them to the final!
 
Completely different temperament and focus level from Earl early on today. Missed a couple of easy safeties though and probably going to go down 1-2 to the kid. Good poise and play from Chang early on though

Funny you mention this, I'm watching table 2 and holy crap does it look dull in there. Even a coworker of mine, who is not into pro pool was wondering why it seemed like everything was washed out. He even said, "I thought pool was played on a green cloth with colorful balls, why are they playing on this?"

Now that you mention it, I agree...I am OK with the gray, but I don't like the ball color at all

Making it unwatchable? I can understand not liking it as much... but unwatchable? A color?

Yes, and if you're not already a pool enthusiast this almost is like a subconscious sense of, "This is boring"
Back to my original question, why would you do anything and I mean anything that would take away from the value of your product you're trying to sell?
Was the choice of gray just arbitrary, or do they actually think this adds value to their product.
 
FSR sent to the loser's side. Looking at his results this year, blows hot and cold, but often on the cooler side. Can't really pinpoint what's gone wrong with him. Well below his level of a few years ago.

I think shark gray is the easiest to see the balls on, but blue and green are fine too.

I doubt people would watch more or less based on table cloth color, however.

probably because grey doesn't have a ball color that blends into it. but i'm guessing
