Hi all.... Does anyone think the balls slow down a lot more than they used to?

yeah they do, new versions of the game have new shot powers.

I used to be able to golden breaks! then it changed...

The game physics have not changed.

The only difference I can think of is the black ball is rendered in real time, which could slow the shot animation down on some machines.

They defo changed a while back. Not too recently tho.

It occurred to me what could cause the effect you are seeing.

Although the physics has not been changed, there was a minor bug in the animation which has been fixed. The animation is now a little bit more optimized, hence making the balls appear to slow down a little quicker.

I didn't notice a change in speed, only between the last two versions. When you could hita right dinky snooker which was full back spin and just tapping the que ball, it virtually didn't move lol.
