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.

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 :

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.

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 ;)

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...
