Oliver Szolnoki vs Chang Ko Ping OMG!!! 3 HRS 26 MIN Race to 11

Up Down Look Around, x 10 almost every kick. Paint drys much faster, not oil. If I was a NON pool player....it would NOT be better. This is the worst match I've watched....tried to watch, can't watch. It's frikkin Horrible.

Pool is not exciting at this pace, but the powers that be continue to be lax in penalizing slow play.

To quote the great Grady Matthews "if you can't think of something to do in thirty seconds, maybe you should consider doing something else for a living."

Matches that are streamed should never occur without a shot clock in use.

Agree with you on shot clock. In my opinion, shot clocks only add to the game. Even blackball has a 1 minute shotclock, and that's a way more tactical and slow paced game. It adds pressure and a sense of urgency to the audience and it helps move the game along. I also personally believe that it increases the level of play overall. I can't back that up with statistics, though.

If the current trend of slowness in 9ball continues, they'll have to change the name "Texas express" to "Budapest slow train".

I understand the importance of making the right decision( especially in a hill hill game) but, for love of god!!! Shoot something!

I'd like to see an event with 30 sec shot clock, shoot at everything. Bring back the excitement and shot making to the game. Give it back or play it as it lies, 10 seconds to decide.

I think the players themselves would be happier with a shot clock. That must be torture to overthink every shot like that.

I feel asleep Midway and thought for sure little ko was done. He was playing horribly early on.

The real surprising thing was all the "euro" players with bad attitudes sulking around the table, that's usually reserved for American players. Just an observation.

Hey, Bill....if you wanna call in to work sick tomorrow....just watch this match: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfrW0Xyug2I

I think Chang Ko Ping may be about as bad as it gets. Tyler's not too entertaining either, at least not on this video.
