Well that's not a the answer I'm looking for an probably a lot of others.
You know so maybe these pool players like myself can learn to play the original game of 9 Ball.
That's what I'm being serious about this.
I'd like answers, So I can fully understand an then start to better myself in the game of Original 9 Ball
And any serious answers would be highly appreciated,

Here's one example. Imagine you're shooting on the two ball and the three ball is at the other end of the table and it is in a small cluster of balls. With shoot out you can shoot at the two ball and go the multiple rails needed to break out the three ball and you know that you have a good chance to do so but you also have a good chance to get hooked on the three ball.
With TE rules many players will go the safe route and just play position on the three ball to play safe. And not take the chance to open them up and get hooked on the three ball and possibly lose the game.
With push out you can go for that breakout and if you get hooked you now have the option to push out. Subsequently, you will see many more high powered shots and more run outs. There are a lot of more differences this is just one.
In the 70's and 80's he was tough to beat especially on the bar table with the big ball.Keith McCready was one of the best shot makers around back then and would run over players playing roll out.
I'm trying get a scenario giving PLAY by Play where I can fully understand an then start to better appreciate the Game of 9Ball not TE an how it's a game for TV an Players who'd never cut it playing Original 9Ball

Also thanks for the DUH Compliment gotta throw that in how's about staying on topic an just answering the QuestionPocketing the balls is the same DUH... The structure of the game and the strategy, even philosophy of how to win is different,.

Yes sir, Dale thanks for another snide comments. Why are you treating me like this. I've done absolutely nothing to you an you still choose to try Humiliating Me with those Comments. I don't appreciate it, an I think you can stay on topic, an you can find better things to do than give me a hardtimeThen you obviously need to view some pre-Texas Express matches and figure it out
for yourself.
I would expect Accustats would have some available. Or, there is this site called youtube.

I'd like somebody to give actual examples of how the shots are so much different than they're in TE.
Because you still have to make the ball in every pocket billiards game. I guess my intellect isn't letting fully grasp. The vastness of just how much easier it is with TE than without.

Is this true?I was there. The table had 25 pockets.
I appreciate that TE is a much "better" version of 9 ball, because it rewards talent in more aspects of the game beyond shotmaking. And the old 2 foul rule would make TV matches excruciatingly slow. Having been raised on that older rule, it was much better suited for head to head gambling than it was for tournament play.when, ball in hand /texas finally took over 9 ball stopped being universally played for money in the pool rooms.
my first time a road player came in and only would play it that way and spotted me some ball.. so the first rack i played him instead of shooting a long shot he hooked me instead and got ball in hand and ran out. i quit after one game.
one pocket solved that problem for the gamblers.
see ,a not so good player against a better one could roll out after he hooked himself or got real bad position. this way he still might win the game by either making a hard shot or the better player maybe missing. instead he would not make a hit and lose the game because of that.
they say it puts more luck in the game maybe for runout players and top pros.
but for the average player he has no chance against players that can hook him all the time easily. and no fun never having even tough shots.
let alone the 3 foul rules where you just keep him hooked and he loses the game.
The 'Grady Rule' normally describes a quicker way of playing 1p. What you describe is known as 'call shot-call safe' and is THE worst way to play 9b/10b. It totally removes the 2-way shot which has always been part of rotation games. As for push-out 9b its how i learned to play and imo is the best form of 9b. TE was invented to do ONE thing: speed-up tournaments. As for speed of play we always played where there could only be two consecutive pushes, after that somebody had to swing at their hole because both would be on one foul. Its not much slower than TE with all the safeties-n-shit. Great game.I appreciate that TE is a much "better" version of 9 ball, because it rewards talent in more aspects of the game beyond shotmaking. And the old 2 foul rule would make TV matches excruciatingly slow. Having been raised on that older rule, it was much better suited for head to head gambling than it was for tournament play.
That said, as a player who enjoys pool primarily for shotmaking, the 3 foul rule is the worst. Under the old rules, if I pushed out to a long shot, one which I had a 40% chance of making while my (better) opponent had a 60% chance, if he chose instead to hook me it wouldn't bring him the same automatic advantage that it does under TE, since I could just push out again. So sometimes he'd take the shot and sometimes he'd pass it back, and either way I'd have a fighting chance. I can cut the paint off a ball, but put me in jail and I need a good lawyer.
Our local tournament uses TE but not the 3 foul rule, and that seems like a reasonable compromise, especially since these are short races. The "Grady" rule, where you can pass the shot back to your opponent if he accidentally hooks you, is another one I'd also like to see become the norm, at least on the non-pro level. Get rid of jump cues while you're at it, and TE would be a lot more run to play.
