It is so funny how the haters of 7 footers perception of the pro running out is never even remotely close to the reality. Maybe they should watch the shots, the cue ball, etc. and learn something.

Thank you for your post.

Obviously you don't know what you are talking about as that is bad analogy. English blackball tables are small and the balls are also smaller so they have to cover a lot more green compared to American pool 7ft table where the balls are bigger.

Really? Think bout what you wrote. Absolutely ridiculous

So they didn't only overcome size of table

Everyone can say what they want about 7' tables not being real tables, being easier, not real pool, etc... However, the fact of the matter is that it's just a difficult/easy as a 9' table. It just takes a different set of skills. Sure, on a "barbox" it's easier to pocket balls because the shots are generally shorter. But on the flip side, it's much more difficult to navigate the table without the room that a 9' provides. So, in my OPINION, either is a true test of skill when pitted against the best players in the game. And for the record, I'm not a proponent of barboxes over 9 footers, I can just understand the difficulties and nuances associated with each table. As for everyone comparing it to golf... (Full course vs miniature golf)... It's more like a wide open links type course measuring in at over 7500 yards vs a stadium type course measuring in at under 7000 yards. Just as difficult, but for different reasons.

I agree that if you make the pockets small enough a 7 footer can still be quite a challenge- still probably too easy for the pros, but it is no walk in the park. I have a 7 footer in my garage with 4 inch pockets (2 balls definitely won't fit) and you really have to concentrate to get out. Also, the cloth isn't all that fast so you have to put a stroke on the ball here and there

Yup.

For the 12 10-Ball matches played so far on the main streaming table, the player at the table after the break has run out from there about 36% of the time.

This number moved up on the final day. For all 18 matches played on the main streaming table, the player at the table after the break ran out from there 41% of the time. More stats for this event can be found here: http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=403055

That means no one owns name to 3 ball US Open and 7 ball US Open
Maybe can buy the names for couple of bucks and put up tourneys on real 9 ft tables
:D
