I finally got to play 10-ball with someone who is familiar with the rules. I like the fact that "slop" doesn't count unless it's called. I called a safety, but somehow still made a ball in and I was forced to shoot the next shoot. My opponent had ball in hand the next turn. I think this seems a bit more fair, although less forgiving than 9-ball. And this is coming from someone who enjoys shooting 9-ball.
