    I am American, and I have to say that I can't stand most of our billiards commentators. I'm not sure why most of them feel like they have to commentate a match like it's boxing, with comments like "OOOOh and he sinks another!!!" It makes me feel like I'm talking to a car salesman.
    I much prefer the UK style of commentating billiards, which is more reserved and analytical; with energetic commentary saved for truly exceptional moments in the match.

    Keep in mind that british pool tables have tighter pockets that are also cut different than US tables. So shots along the rails are much harder.

    • @hatesitrick
      @hatesitrick 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      yes exactly. You cannot touch the rail once with the object ball if you're trying to pot in the corners. Completely different game. Harder.

    • @whirledpeas1182
      @whirledpeas1182 ปีที่แล้ว

      I wouldn't say harder, just different. Center pockets are far more accessible than US tables.
      Tables are generally smaller than what you would see in US pro circuits.
      And while those rail shots are indeed tricky, the cue ball being smaller than the object balls changes the shot entirely and its easier to hit pure when the OB is tight to the cushion. I could never get used to the 0otting angle with the difference in size between cue and object though.

    • @captoonsvideo
      @captoonsvideo ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Also, the cue ball is smaller than the other balls so it’s harder to hit it off the table, as an English pool table is so tiny.

      @nitnesto9195 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@whirledpeas1182 center pockets just look a lot more open but they're not really that much easier. the curved cushion shoots the balls out, doesn't take them in. you should see some of the shots in the new ultimate pool league, the ball looks like it's going almost dead center in the middle and it just doesn't go in at pace, at not even much of an angle
      also i'm not sure if there's still difference in the cue ball size, but it hardly makes the game any easier. some shots yeah, some shots are more difficult.

    • @RyanADillon
      @RyanADillon ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@whirledpeas1182 I personally find playing on a 8ft/9ft US pool table (over the past 2 years) significantly easier than a 6ft UK pool table over 20+ years. The corner pockets on US tables are far more forgiving. Obviously the table is equal for you and your opponent but I find running out a table on US tables much easier due to more surface area (less likelihood of clustering) and easier corner pockets. I think the middle pockets on each table are of similar difficulty.

    Pool and snooker are very different sports. You can not compare them. But its fact, that its easier for a snooker player to play pool than otherwise. The game in snooker is much more tactical and much more about precision. I think for a snooker player its easier to get a pool-player than a pool player trys to play professional snooker.

    Seriously? I feel like I could compete on a Pool table. It's like Snooker with 95% of the difficulty removed. Whoever played Pool without a pint anyway?

    It's hard to win in pool with a sheer fluke if you play according to pool tournament rules, because, as opposed to snooker, you nominate specific pockets, so it's not about closing your eyes and hitting the balls around and waiting for any of them to pot anywhere.

    @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.

    @atrujillocho 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    No it's not. they are just different. How come didn't run out all your racks if it is a small table? If he made some fluke shots such as in 9 ball, it was because you let him to the table. Also, there are pool games where there is no amount of luck, at all. How come snooker is a sport and pool is not?
    Don't get me wrong, I enjoy all cue sports, from snooker to carom billiards, but to say one is superior is just ignorant, just enjoy it.

    It’s a bit pathetic that he would not let his previous opponent use his break cue. I could understand if he was wanting to use his main cue but it sounds like a petty asshole thing that a bad loser would do!. I once let a guy use my vintage one piece Riley snooker cue and he was pissed off at missing a shot and he hit the cue tip and he broke the cue from a foot from the tip!, he said he would be happy to replace it and then he saw the cue and realised that he had got to work a week to pay for a new one. I think that he was expecting to get a two piece machine spliced mass produced bag of shit and the look on his face when he saw the value was almost worth a classic quality cue being turned into fire wood!. I forgive you nick Lockwood and you have moved to New Zealand so I have got no choice but the weird thing is that I have just got it on eBay and it is going to be sent to a guy called Gerry from New Zealand For £155 plus postage so I am happy that inflation is not a myth after all

    well in eight ball you have a big choice of a Shot while in nine ball you got only one choice, that makes more challenging safety battles, this part is much harder than snooker ones because you must hit the rail, American pool is much more challenging because the balls can be potted more easy, that makes "real pool" more technical because the spins are maximally implied. This is the main reason why snooker players do not succeed in pool world because the technique is absolutely different

    the purpose of the blacks in both games is different. just saying. pool 'might' be quicker, but not better. I rather get bored at pool tbh. it's all a thing of taste, but snooker is, and no one can argue against that, a more challenging game.
