First i must say a thanks to fod for putting a sound bar on the ads with sound much more bareable now! now thats outta the way just wanted to see what ppls opinion of black ball pool is?? i personaly think its a fantastic game with great rules also a lot of skilful, friendly and respectful players. i dont know if ive been lucky but i have seen the other post regarding ppl being respectful and its very true i find (9)ball unplayable these days and also dislike (8)ball. but hey black ball suits me fine and i also like straight pool for potting practice! could do with a few more players in black ball give it a go ;)
