What you fail to realize is what YOU like to watch & what others like to watch may not be one in the same.
9 ball is meant to be a run & gun game with a dash of luck, it was always a gamblers game. Only in the last 15 years or so with the arrival of more Europeans in the sport has it become what it is now. A bunch of slow rolling & safety playing & those style players whining about the break first instituting a box, then alternating breaks & then finally moving the 9 to the spot & lastly Accu-racks in an attempt to try to overcome players that break better.
Charges of the older format of winner breaks, 1 on the spot & breaking from anywhere not being "fair", that it's a breaking contest, blah, blah, blah.
The wing ball was always automatic, so what. Again this is supposed to be a run & gun game, that was always its appeal & I for one hate the bastardization of the game that has transpired. I preferred it when it was a game of big breakers & true ball strikers.
Wow. This is perfect.
I'd throw in bring back 2 foul ball in hand, and get rid of the jump cues as well.
All the stuff that was changed for tv should be void, cause pool and TV, DIED.
Go back to the basics.
