@vidarathexvii it just depends on the person. I think it's easy, my shot making is very nice on the snooker table though. like i said, it is my opinion.

9 ball is a joke.. girls that hardly never play 9 ball can beat the best 9 ball players in the world, u could never say that about snooker, and very unlikely to happen on 8 ball, problem with 9 ball the pockets are far to big, what u would miss on a tight 8 ball table u wouldnt on this table, watch the 8 ball on first game, it hit rail before it went in lol just a joke to think that 8 ball went in lol
16 year olds makes up lies like " i played Jimmy White and Steve David" u pointed u couldnt beat jimmy white or steve david in snooker Noway! i was talking about skill level, Where is it in 9 ball, look at that 8 ball on first game its a pure joke, why are the pockets so big, question is can u even miss on this table hahahahahahahah
I played in an MBO gig this Saturday and the competition was hot. Some amazing players there. And yes I got knocked out in the first 16. Love to see some of the "girls" you got knocking about that can beat these guys. if you do find them send 'em down because it's £500 first prize. so with 9 ball being a "joke" and anyone can win you should come make some pocket money.
snooker balls are also smaller, pocket size and ball size are proportional in both games, plus angles are easier to hit with snooker balls, smaller size thus more predictable.

Thank you very much :) When you feel like playing a game that actually requires a cue-action, PM me and we can meet up for a game of snooker, i'll give ya 50 points start, you will need it after participating in this garbage
Oh man don't start again with this snooker vs pool discussion!
Snooker is all about technic but pool is all about knowledge, have u ever played one pocket or straight pool? I'd like to see u doing at least 20 balls run man!
Raj actually started off playing snooker and his snooker cue action is straight as an arrow. His highest break is 147 & im sure thats more then once. Still want some action?
Yea i agree with that, two different skill sets, snooker requires 1000 times more skill than this joke of a game. The only reason why this is popular in America is because it's ridiculously easy to play.
Wow, if i had a nickel for every snooker player who showed up under a 9ball vid bitching about the pocket size i could buy a boat. Jesus. Two different games, two different skill sets, two different venues. Shut up all of you.
Look at the pockets man, just look at them! THEY ARE FUCKING BASKETS. I'd play anyone of them for any amount each frame without hesitation, as i play a lot of snooker and the skill required for that sport far outways the skill to play 9-ball. In fact this game is so easy, it's kind of hard because you have people that can't even hold the cue right potting balls that never look in!
that is true snooker is very hard u need alot of skill for that game. i love pool aswell but snooker when you pocket something in that so satisfying. dnt get me wrong pool aint crap but snooker is suttin else
just because you play snooker doesn't make you better than pool players. 6 time snooker world champ steve davis got utterly destroyed in 9 ball by Alex Pagulayan.
Jesus @ 2:44 the 8 ball missed by a mile and still went in. The pockets are absolutley MASSIVE on a 9-ball table, it's more or less impossible to miss!
The bank was the correct shot. He didn't make it because he hit it to hard. You should always play the shot if it's as hard as the safe besides he could have been anywhere on the table and make the 7 unless he got behind the nine
I love how pool language, "billiard", "bank" etc. is so different to the snooker language. We'd call them a cannon or a double. I can see where billiard comes from, our game of billiards involves making lots of what we call cannons, so maybe the word billiard came from there.
why the hell didn't hiroshi play a safety on the 5. easiest safety one could ask for and he went for a risky bank (as easy as it may be for these guys to make that bank, it's always better to hook your opponent and get back to the table when it's that open).
In hein sight, it's easy to second guess that mistake. In defense for Hiroshi, the safety wasn't really that easy but something maybe he should've considered. Keep in mind that these players are playing on a tv table which makes those touch shots a lot tougher than they might be at your local pool hall. I believe Hiroshi made the right decision even though he lost the game. I felt like the offensive shot outweighed the good things the defense shot had to offer.
being aggressive isn't a sin, it's just that the safety was rather simple. (hit a cm left of the center of the 5 and hook the cue--if not freeze it--to the 7). And the tables are tougher i'm sure, but these are also the world's best, they can handle it ;)
Also, i will defend my position of playing defensively all day every day. if there's one piece of info that I have to pass on to someone, it's always "you don't have to make every shot." ...however, the worst shot in pool is a bad safety.
I didn't even see the double into the top pocket when Takenaka came to the table. I thought he'd play the safety you described - getting in behind the 7 leaving him snookered. If he could have gone for the double and got it safe should he have missed, then fair enough, go for it. But that was all or nothing.
snooker is an easy game.
