UK Pool WPC 2006 Final - Selby vs. Appleton (1/6)

[ricolikepal]

introducing first ladies and gentlemen, the man who needs no introduction....

[RJGAM3R]

Lol at all the american people who criticize 8 ball for being small but its not small its just 9 ball is fuckin huge cos its american like everything america do they do it bigger.

[markofashes]

@RJGAM3R Yes because Snooker is played on a 12 foot table and almost never in America...

Yep, we Americans love our billiards big... on our 9 foot tables.

[RJGAM3R]

@markofashes I am not comparing snooker I am simply comparing 8 ball & 9 ball as snooker is a completely different game.

[shroder1]

as an american that has never seen these tables in person, i imagine that those curved "points" must be a real bear to deal with. lots of rattlers. i still have yet to get on a snooker table as well (which is truely a life goal of mine).

[Henry1993bc]

@shroder1 dont, youll be there for days! its impossible!

[shroder1]

@Henry1993bc Haha! still gotta try it someday.

[Helios601]

not a fan of those small tables atall, feels like I'm playing with a toy, unlike snooker, you feel your in a sport,

[milsumla]

@Helios601 this is not even billiards. some stupid british spinoff of eightball with a bartable sized pockets, snooker pockets and snooker cues

[BandittProductions]

@milsumla The pockets are no bigger than in 8 ball. In fact they're probably smaller. Requires no less skill than snooker or 8 ball.

[cazmaj]

@milsumla

That is what some (equally ignorant) people would say about your giant pocketed tiny tables vs snooker tables.

Furthermore it is obviously a form of billiards. All billiard games have evolved from non British and non US games if you go back far enough... but only an idiot would think that has any relevance today.

It is a shame you feel the need to insult other peoples games, it just goes to show your ignorance, arrogance and lack of manners.

[MatthewJepson1]

is the cueball smaller than the other balls?

[joshun28]

@MatthewJepson1 yes



[ItsOnlyDavid]

9 balls greatest vs snookers greatest

[DRFTkid24]

don't know if the 8 ball players notice yet but pockets are curved, just like in snooker

[ConorSmileyFace]

do you win money

[MrSimobimo]

@ConorSmileyFace hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :)

[miserableoldcunt]

boring as a tapwater sandwich.

[Henry1993bc]

@miserableoldcunt don't knock them until you've tried them

[SuperB1GJ0HN]

with a smaller cue tip, you can be more accurate and generate more cue ball action (spin). but it takes a very good cue arm to master

[Bopperdoo]

It seems like their cue tips are tiny. What's the deal?



[nauxlim]

@Bopperdoo it's a cue more commonly used in snooker

[ryanaldinho85]

@Bopperdoo the balls are smaller in uk pool hence smaller tips to make the white react more i play with an 8mm tip but the pros tend to go as low as 7mm

[paulturton27]

@ryanaldinho85 the lowest i have been is 6.5mm but you have to be cueing absolutly perfect
