Sorry straight pool lovers, but 14.1, could be one of the reasons pool is in decline !..It is obviously the most boring spectator game in the world !..ANY other pool game, or discipline is more viewer friendly !..Thats why straight pool died out 50 yrs. ago !..Wake up guys !.. One Pocket, or even 9/10ball is where its at !.. Thats why thats all the good player's gamble at anymore !
PS..Show me one person, who can watch a 1000 point straight pool match, without falling asleep ?
Well this 1000 point match took about 14 hours and was played in two sessions, so even a die hard straight pool fanatic like me agrees that it is probably impossible to view in one sitting.
Straight Pool has actually picked up in popularity quite a bit in the last ten years. Leagues are popping up all over the place. Videos like this one may give some of these newer players some ideas on how to take apart a rack.
I have trouble myself watching one pocket, but maybe that's because I am not old enough. Maybe in a few years, I will have the patience.
