This is something I wanted to see how well you players can do on.
Rack just like the fair with 1 in the front and 2-4 however you want.

Put the 5 ball frozen on the center diamond on the breaking end rail, and the 6 ball frozen on the center diamond of the break end.

Table size doesn't matter (well, it does, but for the purposes of this, I just want to see how many racks you can run like this without missing.

No Ball in hand
Run in order
Can combo the 6 to win a game if you have the chance

Fail to make a ball on the break = a miss
scratch = a miss
miss a ball = a miss

The prize TBD will be something like a book from Behob or a DVD of accustats of your choice. Please don't say you want the MIH series or Winning 1P.

End of contest is Aug 1st

run the balls in rotation or any order?

Rotation, just like playing 6 ball. If you can combo the six and make it, you win.

It's a little different because of the 5 and 6 ball on their respective ends.
Guessing the winning score would be around 8-10
 
Please post anything that you notice.

As an example when I used to be able to do this, I found that 1 out of 50 breaks actually moved the 5 or 6 ball, otherwise they stayed stationary (which is kind of the goal)

When I tried it, I broke from exactly mid table and hit the one head on with the intent of driving the rear ball onto the six. Hitting for accuracy and not power. I was often making the wing ball and always moving the six. Controlling whitey and often having a good shot on the one with a reasonable lay out. That does not mean I could string racks though.;)
 
Nice out!!! You got the 6 ball to move off the break. Someone else mentioned that was happening with them also.

You are officially in 1st place with 1 run.
 
Thanks... i was able to successfully do it twice in less than 2 hours but my recorder cut off before the first success grrrr

I now have a high run of 2. Back to back six ball breaks.;) Hitting head on and driving the rear ball straight back on to the six. Once it went in the side and the next break it was double kissed to the corner. I am moving the six about 80% of the time. Not breaking hard but concentrating on a square hit and slight draw back from the one.:cool:
