US Open 10-Ball & US Open 8-Ball

They don't miss often, that's for sure, but there have been some great matches. It's all about the opening: do they have a shot after the break, what happens with the push out, who wins the initial safety battle. But once that's over they're almost always out, more often than a 9-foot game, I think.

I haven't watched, nor will I, but I'm assuming this is probably correct.

The whole sarcastic remark about there not being a ton of break and runs on the 7' is a red herring.

You see, whether the game is played on 7' tables or 10' tables, there is still an element of luck to the break. In order to break and run, you must make a ball and get shape on the lowest ball. Shocking...I know.

The real statistic to look at would be the percentage a player runs out when he has an open shot. More importantly, to only look at the top players, say the top 20 Fargo rated players.

Doesn't mean it's not boring to watch.

Doesn't mean it's not easier for a pro in comparison to a 9' or bigger.

Agreed. The individual matches may be quite competitive and the cream may rise to the top, but I also watch pool for the shot making, strategy, and power game. All of those aspects are diminished on the smaller table.

If only someone kept track of stats like that ... some forum member at large.
 
Morra over Geronimo 10-8, up against Sky Woodward next, SVB waiting for the winner of that, and Rodney Morris waiting for the finals.
