Personally i Would Rather see myself playing in a level field before lag the balls and make the game a little tougher..
not playing 6ball.and moves pulled left and right..
yes the best players still win but least its a better game and Fair.
and 90% Of the pros agree

he hasn't signed me up .. i just give him the option to stake me in money game or if he wants to .. thats it..
I'm my own man and do everything myself

we all played one ball on the spot until around 4-5 years ago.. organizers changed to make it tougher because the wing ball was wired was too easy..
u still get all the drama twists and turns pressure etc... just now in a fair way .:thumbup:
we pushed for change because was needed. and to improve and make it cleaner .. and better on the eye.. winner break or alternate break doesn't matter...
1 ball on the spot regular rack 9 counts too easy and allows pulling moves and bad sportsmanship..standards too high now to play this way...
Most european countries don't fund anything
only a select few like holland/ russia and maybe 1 or 2 others rest of us are on our own..
asia not many if any at all..

good points but would be too hard to follow because hardly any events got a referee and time. ...2 at the back travels the most usually so best option
pattern racking usually people put 123 first 3 balls...

but USA have out broke us in mosconi cup last couple of years .. and shane got the best 9 on the spot break in the world... its tough out there so many great players nobody will ever dominate pool because too many good players and too much luck in the game.
But World 9ball and china open still...
Every Sport/Game should start as a level playing field and one set of rules ..
at the moment thats not the case it allows bad sportsmanship and players pulling moves happens all the time. And i don't blame the players i blame the rules/format implied.
Every Sport got one set of rules and start...
the 2 key balls on the break are the 1 ball and 2 ball.. putting the 2ball at the back makes it a random ball it flys around the table and gets kissed a lot... rest of balls can be placed to land in a certain position esp 2 and 3 ..least with the two ball at the back it makes rest of the rack...
They wasn't out of line they was right...And there's a lot to Complain about haven't you seen the state of pool lately? Probably the worst Organized Sport/Game in the world and i play it for a living and love the game so of course I'm Complaining i want to make it better.. not just sit back and...
And because the players can't be bothered to speak
I've decided I'm gonna be the speaker and a player rep...
i want to make the game better.
Simple.

correct and this the problem
and yes I've won at every version of 9ball and 10ball.. so makes no difference to me
its all about making the rules and game better..
especially for next generation.

why can't i win ? I've won major events with one ball on the spot rack your own including back to back us opens .. I can rack and break this way.. but its a shit version of 9ball simple as that.. race to 9s with good players are over in no time because lot of cheap games over quick 9 on break...
Ive spoken to greg and while not set in stone .. Good chance much needed changes will be made...
racking your own balls i like.. but not when the one ball is on the spot using a regular rack and 9ball flying in the pocket or staying very close to a pocket so the games finish in no time... and...
