    Shane says, "9 ball is too easy"

    I wouldn't want to put it like that, but I do think it's hard to let go of things that were, with all the traditions and good memories. And to counter myself: should darts change? Should football change? Well, apparently even SVB sees a problem, so my conclusion is that it is perfectly fine to...

    Shane says, "9 ball is too easy"

    I used lovo.ai and the voice of Thomas Coleman. I used a free account and captured the audio with OBS.

    Who wants to test 14.1 Sequence?

    I get that people want to keep things as they are and that's fine. I like to experiment a little though and i'm curious how this will pan out. Haven't got the time to test myself yet but I will soon.

    I think we need a seperate category for variations! Then we (I mainly) don't bug other people.

    Shane says, "9 ball is too easy"

    This I printed for a concept called "8 balls". Might change it to prevent confusion. The goal is to collect 8 balls by potting them. But a ball can only be potted if the corresponding card is available. At first you can only pot one ball, over time more and more balls become available. + it is...

    Shane says, "9 ball is too easy"

    Very true, "fun to watch" is almost as important as "fun to play". If I try to think of what is fun to watch: - spectacular highlight shots - elite skills pressed to the max - always retain some hope that your player can still win - variety and interesting choices (deep understanding of the game...

    Will do. I'm just curious why you're so opposed to this. In business you have to innovate to stay relevant. In the gaming industry every day new games are being launched with much success. Should pool remain the same until the end of times?

    Shane says, "9 ball is too easy"

    Well, I know y'all are sceptical, but this strengthens my belief that pool could use something new. Especially at the pro level. And also for viewers we could use a new game that has more dramatic moments, less predictable play, more spectacular "high light" shots. Elimin-8-ball is a shot at...

    Who wants to test 14.1 Sequence?

    I have yet to test it myself but I reckon it changes the dynamic quite a lot. The points increase is pretty steep. Races will be to 200, 500 or even 1000 points. Just potting balls wont get you there, sequences are essential. On the plus side this is a strong incentive to call sequences. And I...

    Who wants to test 14.1 Sequence?

    Hey everyone. Ive created a variation of Straight Pool. I'm curious what straight pool players think of it and even better: want to give it a shot! Here are the rules: 14.1 Sequence is a variation of 14.1 continuous, aka straight pool. All straight pool rules apply, with the exception of...

    Mika Immonen not doing well

    Just saw on Facebook he's being treated for stage 4 cancer, per Mark White. https://fb.watch/oXZBK715LR/ Mikas Facebook post

    Elimin-8-ball

    Made a video about the rules. This is much easier to digest compared to written rules. I’ve killed my darling; the elimination of rails. Only pockets and object balls can be eliminated.

    Greatest JUMP SHOTS of All Time in Pro Pool Tournament Matches

    It was almost like Nick scooped up the cue ball before it stopped rolling. 😯

    This snooker is crazy

    Oh yeah for sure! The masse would probably fail a couple times and leave a shot.

    A Jimmy White masse shot?

    Rasson Table/Mosconi Cup

    The 7 ball being caromed off the table was even weirder. Not saying it has anything to do with the table. I think it was just a hard break and rare culmination of forces that led to a freak mid air carom.

    Anyone have a hard time listening to Scott Frost in the MC?

    Got to say I really enjoyed his commentary. Both what he says and his voice. I'm not very familiar with his antics though, that might help.
