9-ball IS a broken game with racking/breaking issues and far too much ease for the professional level of play to allow for the cream to rise to the top.
You can change it next year or in 20 years but 9-balls days are numbered as the main game by which pool is judged, and when it falls to the side like straight pool did when 9-ball became the main game then the US-Open is going to change with the sport or go extinct.
9ball go extinct what a joke 9 ball is still the best game around alot better than 10 ball or 8 ball were the balls stay cluttered up after the break. 9ball better player mostalways wins 10ballweaker player has better odds to win.
