How do you rack said 7 ball? I've seen it on TV a few times, isn't a circle with the 7 in the middle?
I think its a great idea. It is a lot more fun for someone to be able to have a legitimate chance at running out and feeling good about their game. It gives them more confidence and more motivitation to practice. I consider myself a "C" player, and will often practice 7 ball because I get out so much more often than in 9 ball. I do think that 6 ball may be a bit too easy to get out once you get a ball on the break. Most people can make 5 balls in a row at least 30% of the time, and a decent player should do it better than 50%. I think adding a ball and playing 7 ball may make the run outs a little harder, but still viable. I am not sure about the difference in break difficulty though. Whenever I watch 7 ball on tv, they seem to make balls on the break often.
