Is 9 Ball an American "thing" ?
Upon finding myself playing 9 ball recently, i noticed quite alot of people who play 9 ball are American ?  9 ball isn't the most popular Billiard game, it never had done. Maybe Fly Or Die could try and make it more appealing to the European and Asian countrys bringing in more players to the room. 

   What could they do to make it more appealing ?
             
                 My Ideas :D 
  1. When you go to pot the 9, you click on the pocket you want the 9 to go in, however if you pot in another pocket the 9 gets respotted ? (This would end all flukeing, also stop people getting angry too!)

  2. Make the 9 ball table full size, this is how "9 Ball" is meant to be played, making it more harder and a longer and enjoyable game ?

  P.S : I want to hear your ideas, we could really help FoD improve a class game :D
                       
              Thankyou  Mr  Ice Cool :D

Very good comments...I like to play 9ball but can be annoyed after a couple of games of fluking, and it happens to everyone.

Hope fod have a look at this;)
Sorry, didn't mean to repeat!
Having the proper 9-ball dimensions would make the game easier. The pockets, I'd say, are a little too large and are a bit too generous for my liking!

i think ur ideas r ok. i, myself am american and an 8-ball player but the only reason ilike ur ideas(more or less) is that i wouldnt mind playing with people over seas but FOD pool is very good the way it is and im sure most people would agree. but keep in mind it is hard work to improve the improved. ;)
What do you mean make it full size? It wouldn't fit on my screen.
