    DCC one pocket speed-up rule

    this is too much. time limit / shot clock is ok, but they already had that?

    Good players who do not look very good, while at the pool table, but still consistently run out.

    mohammed soufi has an amateur looking sidewinder stroke, but you don't have much time to ponder about it because within a minute he's run the rack

    9-Ball vs. 10-Ball Breaking Formats

    i would love for you to be right, one pocket is the best game in all cue sports, but i don't see it happening. i recently watched two pros take almost 11 hours to play a race to 5. your not setting up bleachers around that, let alone get a broadcasting contract straight pool is a great game...

    GB9 Ball Tour Tight pockets

    nobody reads retractions but see post #25. i don't think this is the table of a pool room. the GB9 tables are rolled in, rolled out with the tournament.

    GB9 Ball Tour Tight pockets

    early events had a tight diamond and some events had a valley with 4" pockets (played like maybe 4.25 - 4.5" diamond). keep in mind here they're not building a pro tour, they're promoting an amateur league. i wouldn't be so sure brunswick goes below 4.5" for that reason.

    9-Ball vs. 10-Ball Breaking Formats

    lost me there.. are you saying all games are equally easy? mastering one pocket is equal to mastering 8-ball? of course we're talking about the pros and what games and formats are determinative for them. that's how 10-ball became the gambling game in the first place, and races got longer

    GB9 Ball Tour Tight pockets

    that's what i suspected having watched a little on youtube. didn't look tighter than a diamond with 4.25", which makes sense with diamond shelf being deeper

    9-Ball vs. 10-Ball Breaking Formats

    look at every european 8b championship since forever. it's a breaking contest. 8-ball is a great game for us mere mortals but it is too easy for pro level players. for 9-ball i think the breakbox is as important as the 9 on the spot. i think the break is configured right as it is now, and with...

    New WPA Official Rules of Pool … Learn About All the Changes

    what bob said, it's a shot rather than a break, and it's highly disadvantageous to not use this shot to put the cb along opponents long rail (and move balls obviously). i regularly play a guy (~650) who uses a 14.1 style opening in 1p. that's about as defensive as it gets, and a bad idea too...
