ghost ball until you get past rank beginner stage. then just aim for the part of the cueball that hits the farthest point from the pocket.

it really is just that simple.

just like hitting a baseball you learn to time your swing to hit it. golf you just adjust your stance to hit where you aim by looking. tennis you swing at the ball coming at you by feel. basketball you see the rim and shoot for it.

way before most's time, but you don't need a slide rule to figure out what eight times six is.

even after all the figuring you still have to adjust your aim point for any english you use on many shots.

its no different than seeing a dime on the sidewalk and picking it up. you dont have to analyze how to get it. you just walk to it and bend over and pick it up. no aiming your hand. its all natural after you done it and other things enough.

They could at least set the clocks...

I have always felt a pro am tournament could be played. With pros going to 9 and amateurs to 7.

I held 6 or 7 of these with the best players from the region plus 2 to 4 pros like SVB, Mika, Hatch and Billy Thorpe. We had several upsets where a advanced amateur won the set.

Hmmm, it didn't sell for $1000. Probably $200

eBay won't provide Best Offer sold prices but I think this outfit can find some sold prices:

Sure it did.

Hmmm, maybe you're right.

eBay used to put a line through the sale price if the best-offer item had been sold AND the purchase price was less than that shown. eBay may have ended that practice and now all best offer sales show price without any line through it. Its now impossible to tell what the best-offer sale items went for.
