In a set of equal offense, ten racks, how often would an A, B, and C player get to 20? I'm guessing a D player isn't going to get to 20.

I shot a few racks today until I got to 20 in case anybody doesn't know what I'm talking about.

BIH behind the headstring after the break, any balls made on the break spot up 14.1 style.

I stopped watching when I saw a green break patch cloth be put down.

That's one of the rules. It isn't official unless you use the green break patch.

Have you heard of or tried 6 Pocket? Similar to but different than equal offense. Here is an explination by a known player.

I am familiar with it and it's a good game but I prefer equal offense because balls made on the break are spotted, which creates a cluster to be broken up, and executing a 14.1 break shot required more precise position play and planning than just running all the balls off the table.

Both are good games for improving your shotmaking. If they had a league or tournament around here of 6 pocket I would probably sign up.

Corey Duel came up with a 6 Pocket pro version for the pros that's a little different. Try to pocket the most balls balls possible in a rack in the least amount of shots. Every foul or miss counts as a point and the one who is the most under "Par = 150" (10 racks) wins. Corey says it's more exciting for the fans to see the pros make and set up to make multible balls in the same shot.

What part of the country do you live?

That' pretty good, especially if you don't play 14.1

I get a lot more 12, 13, 14 and 15 than 20. A lot of times, especially on a 9' table, there isn't much left for a potential break ball after the break so you have to pass up easy shots to leave the balls you want to use for your break.
