"They are larger and heavier than Western billiard balls, and there are two regulation sizes, 68 mm and 71 mm" – this is wrong because the largest ball size is 68mm, while the smaller size is 60,3mm —The preceding unsigned comment was added, to the article itself, by 195.222.78.93 ( talk • contribs) 11:07, 31 July 2007.
"This makes the game's mechanics like an oversized version of snooker" This statement is inaccurate because the style of play of snooker is significantly different than pyramid. Impossible to compare snooker to russian pyramid. Also the " requiring greater precision to pocket a ball than in pool" is a true statement but to a non-billiard fan can create confusion and make him think pyramid is harder globally than pocket billiards, which is absolutely false. Is true that in russian pyramid is significantly harder to make a ball but is much easier to play safeties, kicks and strategy of the game is much more simple... -- 89Slh ( talk) 15:40, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
I agree is not easy to compare pyramid and pool and the "pool is harder than pyramid" is a my opinion ( and also of other players, like for example Evgeny Stalev, a 2 times russian pyramid world champion who says pool is harder) and I didn't have intention to actually write it in the article. Generally pool must be error-free, this means there is a lot of pressure on any shot ( doesn't matter if the game is 9 ball or straight pool or one pocket), instead in russian pyramid you can win even if you made more mistake, because the pockets are so tight that is perfectly normal to miss shots... also because the pockets are very tight this means you can play weaker safeties than in pool. Forget to learn jumpshots, or kick safe. Basically in russian pyramid you must be a great shot maker, but less skill is required in other aspects of the game (not saying safeties are not important in pyramid, simply are less important than in pool) this leads to think pool is harder, or atleast more complex. -- 89Slh ( talk) 21:19, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

On "In popular culture" section, the statement about most Russian Pyramid games are developed for mobile devices is possibly unsourced but @ Oknazevad needlessly removed citation needed tag I placed for this statement. If there's no sources for this statement, it is possibly WP:OR. 36.74.40.72 ( talk) 16:43, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
