I guess it is called progress. The fiberglass pole in high jumping, various shoes for various sports,Simonis cloth, 6 ounce gloves in boxing, higher horsepower engines for auto racing, astro turf and the list goes on and on.
With those changes come a new set of records since the guys before had different equipment and therefore the playing field is uneven. People will go to their graves with their positions on the subject.
But I have a real peeve.............................size of pockets. When this group collectively sets some standards I hope pocket size is a factor which is looked at closely.
What would you rather have a pocket that once the ball is in the jaws it cannot be removed. Don't you recall the pleasure of knocking the guys ball out of his hole and sometimes if you hit it real good it would roll over into your hole.
Please fellas do not allow that part of the game to be removed because some people like tight pockets.
