There you go. That's the pro's option. Three rails and let the cue ball end up above the two.

How a pro plays this shot and how most of us would / should play it are two completely different things. With the cue ball that close to the cushion at that angle, making it in the side pocket and stroking it with enough speed and spin to get around three cushions is not easy, at least it would not be for me. This is why I might choose to play the much easier safety. Of course the decision also depends on the skill level of your opponent.

Gary was a good dude and a great player. He also collected cues if I remember correctly. He ended up with a Haley I had, mine was Rosewood and the twin was Ebony, he had them both. Absolutely gorgeous.

Last time i saw him he was playing Pete Tasc at the expo.

He was so ill at that time. I was at the expo and seeing him yes. I didn't go watch that match. He and Pete were friends since he was a young man. I know exalty

Yes, they sure did. We do have that infamous pop-out video for good laughs though.

I wonder why Brunswick didn't think of that?

Might want to post in the Wanted forum, this section is just for selling items.

Also you should never post your contact information, lots of bots scrape these forums and that information can be used in ways you don't want.

If the shot doesn't allow a natural cb to hit the middle diamond on the foot rail, then this looks good.
But with cb off the rail, shooters now allowed to stun whitey to hit lower on the first long rail.
How far was the cb off the long rail, an inch plus???

Guama and Reyito are bad action in my opinion. The only reason they get played is because their backers have money to blow.

I guess to some bad action is better than no action?

I once read they being left eye dominant and right handed was an advantage. Especially in hitting a baseball.

I’m left hand and eye dominant, shoot left handed but bat right handed (which puts my dominant left eye closer to the pitcher).

Maybe something to it?
