Bonus ball is interesting
It's a pretty cool game and I like to see these guys playing as a team.
That aside I just think if this level of investment was put into any standard game the public could catch on more. They are playing a few shots ahead for positions that are both defensive and/or offensive, playing for breakout position with the bonus ball. Things even 1 out of 50 people who own a cue even see. Unless they play multiple games. To see and understand how Daulton played a 2 rail bank.
If there goal is to package and showcase a new game, they are doing it. If it is to have something with a widespread audience, it won't happen. People understand rotation and 8 ball. The decision making in this game goes beyond the general public's understanding of pool.
