    Top players in Nordic Countries

    Pretty impressive from such a small pool of players. (And I'm not just saying that because all of my ancestors are Nordic! 🤪).

    8 ball handicaps

    How about allowing the weaker player to have the option to shoot the 8 early? So, for example, if you're giving him 2 balls, when he has 2 or less balls left, he can shoot the 8 for the win or any of his remaining balls (perhaps to get better shape on the 8). Handicaps would range from 0 to 7...

    Template Rack 9-Ball too easy for pros...

    Sadly, I agree. My list was about what I would like to see, even if it may be impossible. I think it's too bad jump cues weren't outlawed immediately. Didn't Pat Flemming invent the jump cue? 🤔

    Template Rack 9-Ball too easy for pros...

    Jump cues make it MUCH too easy to hop over balls, even when they're close to the cueball. Only allowing full-cue jumps would separate the great jumpers from the pretenders and would force more kicking. It's disgusting to play a great safe and have your opponent pull out a jump-cue—essentially a...

    Template Rack 9-Ball too easy for pros...

    9-ball is indeed nonsense for the pros at this point in pool history. Here's what I'd like to see for pro rotation pool tournaments: 1) Call-shot 10-ball. 2) 10 on the break spots, but early 10-ball combos are winners. 3) 10-foot table. 4) 4-1/4" corner pockets with commensurate side-pocket...

    How would you play this shot?

    Ya roll that one with a level cue. They're playing on new cloth with recently leveled tables. It's a no brainer.

    Realistically, what should promoters focus on when it comes to pro pool?

    To interest the general public, it doesn't matter what game is played, the size of the table, the rules, etc. They want to watch THE MONEY and have a personal connection to THE PLAYERS. If they're playing for huge amounts of money and the players are showman, rather than emotionless robots...
