Thanks.

I recently added ability to draw lines in two player mode (like on tv) to explain how to make shots to new players, its fun and really helps a good beginner.

He could do what a lot of channels do: repackage ideas from other channels. That can work if you are an engaging presenter.

Also, if he is at all the pro tournaments he can generate a lot of content interacting with the other pros. There is a guy on TikTok that films short clips of him playing one rack against the top pros. Fedor has his own channels as well that can be good to watch.

I wish him well

I’ll be installing Andy 988 soon on a 9’ Peter Vitale Lord Nelson. What’s the stretch I’ll need. Thanks

I've never installed 988, but I install a lot of 600 Club. I just did an 8' Olhausen yesterday. 1 1/2" side stretch. 3 3/8" down the length.

For a 9', I would start with 1 5/8" on the width, and 3 3/4" down the length. Adjust accordingly.

My conclusion: Yes, she should have called this.

If she hit the four thicker, it could have gone into the corner. If she hit it thinner, the two could have gone into the corner. If she hit the four on the other side, the four could have gone into the side pocket.

I really don't know if it was worth it to consider all these options. She only had 7 seconds left on the shot clock when she played the shot! If she misplays the safety, she'd probably be kicking herself for overthinking it.

Thanks for the insights. I saw Bugs play bank pool, but never one pocket.

Great match between Kristina Tkach and Han Yu at the women's Predator event in Austria.

Watching it, I got the clearest reminder in a while of why players should always call a ball in 10b, even if they are playing safe.

Link to the youtube video of the shot


1) You make no balls, and get the hook
2) You make no balls, and miss the hook
3) You make a ball, and get the hook
4) You make a ball, and miss the hook

First, great, thoughtful post. Second, I completely agree and I think that it is a basic game-theory perspective that is supported by your list of four possible outcomes.

Third, I did watch the video (the shot) a few times and asked myself, "If she did call a ball, is that the ball and pocket she would have called?" (basically, could she have seen this coming, if she held to your rule that you must pick one ball and one pocket and call something).

My conclusion: Yes, she should have called this. I believe the two ball was the only ball that was going to be hit hard enough to reach a pocket, and the only pocket that I could see it reaching was the opposite side (where it did go). I don't think the two could transfer enough force to the four to have the four reach a pocket, at the speed she hit the shot.
