no… because I have a life And it’s just an orange pool ball. Who cares.
Lots of people care. We are traditionalists and our sport does need support and organization,
Pool DOES NOT need to be altered to destroy it’s traditional colors and turn it into a unrecognizable thing of the past-in the pursuit of improving it.
Leave the colors alone!! We have been shooting at orange 5 balls long before I was born in 66.
When you have shot millions of balls, and lots of us have there’s a connection we have with those balls, a order of rotation colors, a bond. None of witch needs to be altered.
Like snooker, tradition. They don’t change the colors.
Want pool to have a future? Let some of its past remain as tradition. The colors of the balls being one thing that’s not a negative thing.
Oscar told me one night at Griffs “anything, but don’t f*ck with the colors of the balls”. I fully agree.
Change is good. But not the balls. It matters
Hope that clears things up.
Take a poll and see I’d bet 75% of the people care about the ball colors. And 85% if they played 20 years or longer. And 95% if they played 40+ years. We don’t need or want our traditions changed. Cleaning up pool-ok fine! Good idea. But not the balls PLEASE!
