Matchroom Improvement list

I have been playing pool for about 5 years and use traditional color balls. I am color blind and I get mixed up with the blue 2 (especially if it’s the darker blue) and purple 4 a lot, and sometimes between the red 3 and brown 7.
I never played with the MR set, but viewing on TV, I have problems distinguishing the pink 4 from the green 6 and to a lesser extent the red 3 from brown 7. That's why I like the ball runner that shows which balls are still in play, it helps a lot.

Maybe they need a target audience of color blind people to figure what's the best colors for regular play and TV audience because some colors might show up different on TV.

good perspective.

now think about people that are totally new to the game and have no clue which ball is next. it's for these potential new fans the comms refer to "the green 6-ball" etc, which may help a little bit. then they have that ball runner. is it big enough, clear enough?

because i've tried to introduce people to watching 9-ball, and i don't think it's super intuitive. to them it's just a bunch of skittles and "not 8-ball". maybe the next ball in order should pulse in the graphic. idk.
