Braille pool?
Tough to play with all fouls...:scratchhead:
Who could tell?
I actually love the overhead shots. I have always had issues learning when being told something. I NEED to visualize it. Once I see it, I memorize it and can replay it in my head. The overhead shot helps me reproduce the shot on my own. I may be in the minority.

Good for you. I respect your opinion. As for me, it's a one dimensional look at a three dimensional game.
I like a quik overhead shot to show the lay-out and then the regular camera angles for the rest.
No. That's worse. Just show an overhead every now-n-then to show the layout.
I like the interesting angles and action shots but I do expect to be able to see the full table layout enough to see patterns and potential shot selections. I think there’s a balance. I wouldn’t want a Hollywood view of a match where you only see a player stroke and cut to a ball falling in a pocket.

That works if you can tell one ball from another. They have no way to zoom in on the overhead camera, so that presents a problem.
The technology is relatively inexpensive now....
..I’d like to see an over the table shot so I could see the pattern....
...which is a reason I hate having to identify the balls.
How can you see the "pattern" if you can't tell which ball is which?
I think I'll just order popcorn and not opine on this thread. Just gonna sit back and see how it plays out. lol
You guys might be ready for the new method of viewing a pool match...
...you have to eat the color they’re shooting at.
..and Boxcar...make sure it’s butter and not margarine
Eating popcorn with margarine is like kissing your sister.
I thought I’d take a few moments and set up an interesting “generation” pic showing the evolution and variations available for the Aramith Tournament ball set for all to see side by side to compare and contrast.
BTW - Zero changes were made to these pics quickly shot this morning with an iPad Pro in my poolroom with nothing but cropping done and placed in pages with all 4 pics side to side - and then I captured a screen shot of them all together. Low tech basically. Medium resolution for this forum post.
I’ll save the high-end pics and full write up comparison for fans of ball sets and collectors in our Pool Ball Collectors thread later on this month.
The details:
TOP ROW: Gen 1. Traditional colors.
MIDDLE ROW: Gen 2. Television colors.
BOTTOM ROW: Gen 3. The Black edition.
A few instant observations- The font/type style has evolved to be crisper and easier to see. The whites have improved from a creamy white to a brighter white without being translucent. Slight color changes from one set to the next with the easiest to see on this low res pic.....the blue becoming bright and perfect. Same for every bold color. The pink is simply flawless. The new BLACK set green #6 is slightly darker in person than this pic and is very easy to see on the table - especially against the amazing Simonis mocha cloth
. The brown and purple - well, perfect shades and contrast when you consider that these will be played on tournament green and blue cloth all over the world - and these new greens and blues and shades are much easier to play on both of those colors. Yes, I’ve done that on both the green and blue cloth - but since I’m not trying to convince or sway anyone’s opinion here in this contribution, I didn’t waste time with pics of proof for you to pick apart. This is about the balls and simply seeing where they’ve been and where they are now. Together.
A final word or two.....
The Blacks are stunning in person and on the table. Mocha, Blue and Green cloth for sure. We’ve played about 10 hours with all three sets in a small group of 14.1 players and we noticed zero changes in the post game analysis for high runs averaging 16 to 24 numerous times in each match. Nearly identical. And that is right out of the box and onto the table. Break and play. No adjustment needed to see the edges. We just played them.

There is nothing that offends me about the new colors...I prefer the new green and purple.
What offends me is switching the purple to the 5-ball....:angry:
