Ko jumps to make the 2…. then same on 3!!
I wish someone would do some research on 1-balls made in the side pocket off the break percentages. I'd bet it's up over 75% of the time.
1-0. Ko
The real research isn’t 1-ball made. It’s whether they pocket the 2 on the next inning vs. push out vs. effective safety vs. ineffective safety vs. miss.
is this on you tube still
No - final day gotta pay
