My arse too

Definitely a different game, the cue ball physics especially are very different. I do appreciate the production value of cue sports in Europe though! Hope match room can continue expanding and do this for American pool!

They are consistently shite in the commentary box. The times they say "oh what a shot" for nothing more than an average amateur does every day! And with video titles like "Mark Selby Magic" the match result is already given away so absolutely no point watching!! The tables they play on now are so easy, unlike the old style tables where you needed to be very accurate with shots. Rarely do you see a tactical frame because the rules make the game easier. I used to love watching the odd 45 minute tactical frame.. its now whoever has the luckiest break

@@lfcmonkeyyyman6229You do realise they just compile these odd videos for more traffic to their shop? Ultimate Pool have invested a lot in new products and need a way to push them.

I don’t watch a lot of pool, and I know these players are good but these rules seem to make run outs a lot easier. 👍🏻

I know what you mean but i think selby was a pool world champion before he played professional snooker

For the game to grow on the big stage it needs star power with crossover appeal. Selby is the only man to win world titles in both pool and snooker

Agree with you both in a way but 6 months ago they pushed all the snooker guys non stop after throwing cash at them.. maguire was useless and Williams not much better.. if they spent some time focusing on building stars rather than buying them in it would serve better in the long run

Tbf Selby is as good as it gets capable of beating anyone!

Well it got me interested in pool so I guess it's working

Me too. I fail to see the skill involved as it’s more of a rewarded fluke.

I think it adds a bit of fun. Flukes are part of sport. The drama of someone getting a kick was often fantastic in snooker. It's entertainment at the end of the day. Move too far away from that and you hurt your the prosperity of the sport.

@@richardbrennan7288 l think a golden break is the ultimate reward for a fluke. Flukes are part of the game but to lose a frame from a fluke is ridiculous. Consider one guy pulling of some amazing shots and top rate safety play and after 12 mins he wins the frame, then the opponent breaks off and get the golden break. Shear excellence to win a frame after 12 mins but the opponent applies to a golden break. The frames are quick anyway they certainly don’t need to be any quicker.

@@hudsonsoul1121 we can disagree it's okay . You're talking about a game which at its very core has the possibility to be won or lost in one shot by potting the black before clearing colours. If I was being really picky - I'd prefer it to be the case that ou can lose off the break if you pot the black because it's consistent with the rules. Then there could always be argument that your decision to break off hard was a calculated risk taking potting the black into consideration thus limiting the element of it being a fluke in its purest form. .. but think of it another way for a second. If those balls were packed exactly the same way, positioned in exactly the same place, hit with the exact same force , exact same position and angle on cue ball, exact same shot in every way etc etc , then you'd make a golden break every time. Now you're probably thinking that's unachievable... well maybe consistently... but in the pursuit of excellence maybe a professional player would do it 3 in a 100 times... and I'd do it 1 in 100. That's skill. That's perfection. Let them go for it. Yeah okay it can take 12 minutes or 1 second.. but boxing can take 12 rounds or 1 second. Welcome to sport.

@@richardbrennan7288 yes we can disagree and discuss a difference of opinion as that’s what many people can’t do on here. My biggest issue about losing a game is due to a fluke or succession of flukes, I’ve never like losing or winning a game due to potting the black on the break. Think I’m more of an old school player so I’ve not adjusted to this new golden rule. Even when l potted the black it seems to happen more regularly than l expected. 40\4 games l got this break and yet lve not played for 5 years and currently just started getting my game back which is more of a confidence thing as well as cue action adjustments. Pool should be about skill and patterns not about a fluky black going in the pocket on breaking. I’ve think rules should be changed to make the game longer not shorter (however pub teams obviously wouldn’t favour this if they work early mornings). Suppose it’s ok to add the golden break purely for fun, l know if l got the golden break when l was losing l certainly would welcome but wouldn’t view it as skill.
