Ever tried hitting 180 on a dart board? Hitting a baseball is way easier.

You are about to make an epic, professional looking clearance but a train goes by and the loud horn blasting out puts you right off. You get out of position on the very first ball.

I think Matchroom are making a go of it and things will evolve. In a couple of years time I'm sure a few things will be different from how they are now. What exactly will change? No idea! 9 ball rules definitely need standardizing. So many leagues insist that you must call the 9. They don't...
