8 divided by 6 =1.333
9 divided by 7 = 1.28
or .05% worse for the better player ?7/9 vs. 6/8? the difference is about .03% bigger spot for the weaker player.
7 divided by 9 =.7778
6 divided by 8 =.75
8/6 is therefore .02778% greater spot than 9 to 7; strictly math.
Not always true. 11-7 is actually marginally better than 9-6. And 11-6 is a hair better (.545454), than 9-5 (.5555). But your statement is usually true.I agree with Larry, I think if you are playing somebody and you feel you need a spot to have a chance always take the lowest you can get.

as a weaker player i would always want to go to a lower numberonce you get past the weaker players ability to run out it usually favors the better ball pocketer more by lengthening the game.
The math says yes and I am percentage guy. Believe me, I would much rather have TRex going to 14-5( .3571428) than 11-4(.3636). They just run so many balls, you have to wear them out. 10s and 11s are nothing for them and I have over 100 hours of play against Tony. It's not theoretical. And let me tell you, I have beaten him many times at the end of the game where I have 0 and he needs 1. He shoots one and it goes back to my side and I get all my balls in one inning after being shut out the whole game. You want long games against him. Not only that, but it makes for longer games, which means he doesn't get a chance to beat you fast, but you can still win fast. Think of it this way: How many times can you win in one inning versus his ability to win in one inning? Good players cannot focus that hard for long periods of time. Only a few of them can.as a weaker player i would always want to go to a lower number

regardless of the math
would you really advise a weaker player to take 11-7 instead of 9-6 or 11-6 instead of 9-5?
I disagree in the instance of a big spot. If the weaker player can move all the balls up table and trade banks with his opponent, it favors him greatly. The good player has to run a lot of balls in his inning, and moving it to an up table game will favor the man going to the low number.once you get past the weaker players ability to run out it usually favors the better ball pocketer more by lengthening the game.

Well done Larry.9 is 1.125x more than 8
7 is 1.166x more than 6
this is just math
in reality i think one ball is harder for a player who needs 6 to get to 7
than the player who can give the spot and get 8 go to nine
