Right, it 100% has to do with the "snooker rounds". But this Heyball table has the same thing, right? The rounds are the fundamental reason the shots in snooker don't look anything like the shots in pool.
Alex lost badly….he was way behind, won a game for four points, broke and made three balls, the fourth ball didn’t cross the line, his opponent inherited the break, ran out…..funny rule when you can make three balls and it’s deemed illegal.
He’s still in though, right? The Canadian commentator yesterday said it’s double elimination “each round”.
Directional nap is one of the most disgusting things that has happened to billiards….and ironing makes it even more inconsistent.
Alex is out…it progressed to single elimination…he won 30Gs though.

As I understand it, they all are templated. I do know that different brands use different rails, and this affects how they accept balls at speed (a crucial element of the game).

They do require ironing, and if not cared for, they turn to shit pretty rapid.
Pockets didn't look different; just wider. High 3s. They need to lose the wonder tits. Period.
One thing I've always admired about Alex, he's not afraid to try to new games. He gave snooker a whirl, and as most know, the money payouts in snooker are higher than pool. Now he's in China going for a big payout. $30,000 ain't too shabby. Bravo to Alex Pagulayan! See you next year. He will conquer this game too.

Dual nationality isn’t prohibited in the US is it? Genuine question, as it is in some places. If it isn’t…
Don't think so. Got JS and AP I think. Probably have that exaggerated.Dual nationality isn’t prohibited in the US is it? Genuine question, as it is in some places. If it isn’t…
I agree but its still the tradition in snooker/heyball to use directional. Hell a lot of these guys still use brass ferrules. C'mon guys join the new millenium. I watched a snooker match the other and its way more watchable than any of this Heyball shit. Nine ball is a FLOW game and on these tables it flows about like cold molasses.

I don't see "flow" in the majority of top level 9 ball these days, that ended a couple generations ago imo
