Nice video in a relaxed setting, not 'put on' or cheesy and a nice looking atmosphere.
Question though, how big are those pockets?
I'm not trying to get anyone's backs up here so please forgive me if it comes off that way.
The only American pool I have ever seen or played was on the big 9ft tables and that was a piece of piss (excuse my language). I come from an English 8ball pool and snooker background with tiny tight pockets where there is little to no room for error. Playing on a small table with HUGE pockets and more space for shape due to less balls cluttering up the board doesn't seem like a challenge and absolutely pointless! The lads I play with will generally 'break and run' or as we call it 'dish' every 2-3 frames on an English pool table. They would clear the board nearly every visit on a table like the one in the video. Are those normal tables or is that a '1 off' kind of pool room? There is a table near me where all the local hero's refuse to play for money because the pockets are like buckets but still no-where close to the size of those seen in the video, they would prefer to flip for it and save the time as the result would be just as predictable.
Sorry for the rant and if I hijack this thread then I apologise for that too but surely I must be missing something here? Can you really separate 2 players on a table like that?
Cheers,
Exile
