The snooker purists say that snooker does not need to be jazzed up but in reality everything in this day and age needs to be jazzed up. Take this for example, one of the most popular and exciting games on earth, Basketball, a game that sees most games scoring around 180 points a game and plenty of action.
Hardly a sport that needs to be jazzed up to make it more lively, however back a few years ago promoters developed a offshoot of the game which is full contact and uses trampolines to achieve spectacular moves to score on the 4.5m high basket. Take a look at the video below and see if the introduction six red snooker is the big deal and huge change it's being made out to be compared to this, I think not!
However Slamball never really took off and like basketball the tradiitional format of snooker will always prevail but six red certainly has a place also, let face it the calender certainly needs some padding out.
