Does that come with Alex giving a happy ending? Or maybe just a lesson?

Dude even includes a spray for after you get bent over.

Also didn't the 9 Ball get matchroom points for a couple of years. This year no.

They show it kind of upside down in the video. The cueball should be closest to us and the object balls would be at the far end. The yellow numbers are the adjustments based on where the cueball originates.

Basically the diamond system, but the adjustment is to the 2nd to 3rd rail line. The base 2 to 3 rail tracks are 10-10, 20-20, 30-30. Like if you were shooting 50-30, you would hit 20 on rail 2 and 3, the 20-20 line. No adjustment here because the corner is the base.

You chose the line closest to the first object ball. Let's say the ball is between 10 and 20, closer to 20. So you chose the 20-20 line.

Then let's say the cue ball is at the middle diamond (30), adjustment is 8. It's obviously going to take a shallower angle from 2nd to 3rd rail than when you were shooting from up in the corner. So the 8 is added to the second rail 20. The track from 2nd to 3rd rail is now 28-20. You parallel that line over to your object ball and see where it hits the rail. Let's say it's 17. So then Diamond system 30-17 = aim at 13.

Yeah, there are quite a lot less, but it seems to bounce around from year to year. I'm guessing many are tired of the bs scheduling, grind, location and time of year, and close to other events on the calendar.

For what it is worth, there was a comment by Upstate Al on the recent Turning Stone stream about a bunch of players, I believe he said Euros, not going to attend Derby something to the affect of because "what happened to Shaw", or as he says it "Shore". LOL They were talking about how a lot were not going to attend.
