In fact, they swear by the shape so much that they actually provide you with a template here to make sure you can make your own properly before you start making the pom-poms.

The fork method is great for making small to medium pom-poms, depending on how many times you wrap the yarn. The more you wrap it, the denser and thicker your pom poms will be. Wind your yarn over and over all four pliers until you’re happy with the size of the pom-pom, then cut a long piece of string and wrap it around the middle of the pom-pom between the two center pliers, Pull hard and tie the knot. Cut the edge with external pliers, loosen it up, and voila! Instructables give you step by step pictures.
