Oh, 2 types of shots I remember why I missed and was mad at myself afterwards for knowing better but still doing it. One was the typical deceleration of the stroke that causes the swerve to be maximized and ends up cutting the ball a lot differently than intended.

The second was high inside or outside when very close to the rail, and how the CB almost exclusively turns into the the direction of the spin, and there is zero squirt in the opposite direction, ending up striking the OB a full ball differently than anticipated. Yikes, that shot is brutal how much the CB moves sideways.

Kenny Dodd from Oregon was a money player of note. He was my grandmaster scalp (please excuse the crass expression) fart.
My drawing Brady in a tournament that had me playing the donation role was fun as I made a couple good shots. Shrug
Same thing when I played Dan Louie in a 9 ball tournament. My first break yielded a roll out that Danny handed back. And I made the straight back bank! With Perfect shape. Well that was it as I didn't get out. it was a mice shot on strange equipment with uh and up hill both ways. Wink Shrug

I won vs the 515 11-7 and 11-8. (11-9 was the race). I wasn't playing good all night. I felt good in my stance and sighting, but some balls missed that really surprised me as to why. The first set I was up most of it and he came back a bit at the end. The second set he was winning 8-6, (on the hill), and I won 5 games in a row to steal the set. The last 2 games I started my innings with 2 kick shots that I pocketed and ran out from there.

Also a few nights ago I bought a used jump cue. Then I spent 3 hrs practicing with it, including shooting every shot with it with a small hop on each shot to get used to it. I haven't had a jump cue except an older style from the 90's in my closet for the past 20 years. This is one of those import ones with a CF shaft. Not premium like the Predator and Cuetec, but a definite improvement over my old style one. Anyway, it came in use a few times during my match, and I pocketed 2 jump shots and got position.

I just hate carrying all this stuff now. I went from having 1 cue in an art style 1x1 round tube case, to now I have my big 2x4 case, playing cue, break cue, jump cue, plus a claw to hold them all. Plus takes forever to break them down and set them all up. With only a playing cue, I don't even need a claw, because the cue never leaves my hand when I'm sitting down.

Acrobat file would not open BUT
Just did a copy of it zar, via phone back to computer.

With this format I don't care who I draw, feels like poker.
When I get knocked out, 1/2 the rooms tables are now Open.
