Playing takes time. This is television where time = money. Plus, the fans don't like to see players miss shots...like a bar owner whose tables have buckets. His customers want their friends to see them make shots...not miss.
Lets make a basketball hoop twice as big and see how many people watch it when it's a joke. that's what this is. my valley is a little tighter then your average bar box but it plays worlds tougher then this for sure
If it would create better television, they'd do it in a heartbeat. But on the flip side, since most basketball scores go over 100 points...why don't they make the hoop smaller? I think basketball is just too easy.
But it seems that basketball doesn't have the viewership problem that pool has.
And I just had a great thought, next time let's have Diamond leave the rail cloth off the rails, that way there's no way in hell a ball that touches the rails on the way to a pocket will go in, not even if it touches a 1/2" from the pocket!!
I have a Diamond Pro Am with 4 1/8 in pockets. Some of these balls they are shooting into the Rail would NEVER GO!!
These are the Allegedly the best both Countrys have to offer.. WHY NOT MAKE THEM PLAY.

Time out,.,.,...
The the reason the balls are being pocketed easier this year is because the table has pro cut pockets @ 4.5 inches standard for Diamonds.
Last year , the table I set up for Mosconi cup in VEGAS had a custom railset with the pockets @ 4.25 inches...making all the difference in the world about which balls go in and which ones don't.....
The MAJOR issue,...when the pockets get smaller USA gets their BUTTS KICKED 11-2 aand Sky sports looses a whole day of LIVE TV coverage... So this year its back to the standard 4.5 inches to see if we can compete!!!!!!
That's the difference

Exactly, they may not even make it to Day 3 (I know that's not possibleHave some mercy for USA players. This table is already too hard for them.
