It's disheartening to be an eight-ball player in the world of pool today. Personally I love 8 ball and prefer it to 9 ball. But not much emphasis is placed on this game today. Everywhere you look it's 9 ball. Fast-paced with lots of run-outs. I love the safety play which is more often used in 8. I thrills me to see a shot which not only pockets a ball but breaks out a frozen ball which would have ruined a good run. I like having to think my way around an eight teetering on the edge of a pocket instead of shooting the combo for a quick match. Nobody goes for the longer and more strategic games today. I want 8 ball!!!!!!!!! I want one-pocket!!!!!!!!!
I suppose I'll adapt, but I'll never change.
