The game takes too long to play........150 points.....versus a race in 8, 9, or 10 ball.
The game is harder since there is no slop & running a rack in10 ball isn't that difficult.
The game is a battle that can turn into a chess match & can mentally drain your focus.
The game involves the most complete set of skills and abilities than other pool games.
And the vast majority of average players cannot run the table & enjoy running 2 or 3 racks.
Player egos get in the way when they can't run more than a rack, so they revert to 8. 9 & 10 ball.
When you opponent is running 10, 12 balls & then hooks you to only resume running another
15-20 balls & hooks you a 2nd time, the game becomes discouraging if you cannot duplicate
running a lot of balls & also not lose control of the table. Straight pool is the best measure of
your pool abilities & knowledge and rest assured, straight pool will reveal & confirm your skills.
