There are::What are the reasons someone would be great on barbox but not longer tables? Or did they just get get at barbox because that is where the action was?
a) more clusters on the bar box
b) more interference on the bar box
c) can't take balls out of pockets,...
d) fuzzy felt instead of real cloth
e) odd weight/size CB
f) 20 year old balls with pock marks,...
So strategies are different between the wide open tables (9 foot) and the bar boxes (generally 6.5 feet around here), potting is easier, position is more difficult, runouts are harder to achieve:: and your muscle memory is "not representative" of what is about to transpire.
