im currently working on a new design for the uk 8 ball because atm i think its poorly designed and to easy to pot and foul so i hope whoever takes care of these things will take my suggestion into consideration thanks

Oh dear. Look out for squeezy!!!

Seriously, have a read through the other threads on new designs, though it will be interesting to see the views on this now.

lol ty im just drawing one in paint though, nothing serious lol

If you use print screen and copy it into paint it'll give you a base to start on

The one thing you will see is that no-one wants the core aspects of the table, mainly the pockets, changed.

On one of those other threads i did a quick copy paste to illustrate :



Now that monstrosity is posted, whatever you have is bound to look good

hey...how about circular and hexagonal tables as far as the original goes take a pic of a real table and simulate that more....pockets are very big on the one we got, not that im complaining its helps as well as hinders

Both Hex and Circular tables would be cool for their respective games. Who knows what the future holds...

One thing i do know, however, is that the design of the original UK pool table has served us all well.

I'm here, not because its prettier than the yahoo one, or more realistic than an other online pool game, but because its easy to learn and fun. Or dare i even say funky?

Any and all suggestions for improvements will always be considered, but please bear in mind realism doesnt always mean an equivalently real level of enjoyment.

why not base it on the snooker table on funkysnooker??

Keep it as arcade, its one of the few things that make UK unique and a bit more technical to master. Anyone can get an angle right given enough time. Its the only game you really need to think about what your doing. Its been around since the site began and the different versions have gradually gotten better and better. Doesn't need changing in my mind.

It's perfect as it is.

Easy to pot but so is the other ones, it's the cue ball control that is pat to be mastered.

As is the case with all pool games ;)

Indeed

Anyone remember the US pro games? We all loved them till the ones we have now came along.

If they released a similar think for UK, the same thing would probably happen.

Mind you, the UK table has a much bigger fanbase. It's what made the site after all...
