Predator events have a different vibe, and that's fine. I am not crazy about the set format or shootout, but some variety in pool is all right. The sport should experiment.

I don't know which rule would be more stupid, the hitting any ball first or putting the one in the center of the rack. Why not put the one in the back of the rack and force a kickshot break. Then it'll be impossible to control the balls and unlikely to make anything either.

Actually that could save this fatally flawed game

As long as you feel comfortable and you make balls, don't change anything.

For many,years I was,the guy operating my folk's septic tank truck I always wanted to put a straight flush beats a full house on the back of the tank !Needless to say my idea got shot down ha ha .
Bit when a customer refused to pay the bill in full , I'd offer to back up close to their house and reverse the pump and wash down their house !
It was amazing how quick the extra money would suddenly appear ! Ha ha

ive been playing for a long time and almost never even have had a discussion about whether a shot is legal or not.

and none of the new rules they put in one pocket has ever been needed that couldn't be worked out in a minute between parties.

When I play in Jack & Jills I might make a suggestion on which ball we should try to get on next but I always leave them with "do whatever you are most comfortable with".

I always leave them with, "If you miss this shot, I'm going to stab you in the neck with a pencil."

Some of the best players in the world bend their bridge arm, though.

Were I a player, I'd stick to making custom games. Unless of course, I didn't feel like it.

which seems wrong for the most part. using forward motion as a deciding factor.

you can shoot straight down on the cueball but not straight up.

but could line up behind the cue ball and stroke towards it and when at its lowest point raise up just like the illegal shot, but the majority of your stroke was forward action. as what the rule seems to state. i think anyway.

just stirring the pot on the plethora of new rules or tournament rules that are constantly changing pool.

a doubles match with Seo/Yapp vs Silviana/Robbie would be interesting

,,, we allow almost straight up and down masse shots and jump shots that may or may not be more vertical than forward. so that is not being consistent.

Forward is defined as the direction from the bumper to the tip. It is in the plane of the cue stick.

Why? It's easy to shoot and works quite well. Best of all it's a legal stroke. You don't know what you don't know!

At least the way I shoot it, the cue is aimed at my belly button, and if I slip...
But usually I don't shoot it that hard.
