The reason for a couple of different speeds from the same spot is that the playing conditions (rack, humidity, cloth age) play a significant role how the table is breaking. So at least you should have a plan what is your goal in each break. Don’t add deviations just for the sake of deviations without a plan. Pay attention what is happening in each break and which balls are good candidates to make. And make sure you have your cueball on a string.
that makes sense, i was just changing stuff with no real plan lol. gonna pick one goal for each break this week and watch where the cueball ends up, do you pick the ball you want to make before you break or just read it after
Only when Im not making any balls on the break like 3 successive times when I'm breaking. Other than that, I always stick with my routine.
that 3 in a row rule is simple, i am gonna use that lol. i keep moving stuff after one dry break at end pocket
When I ask students, "Where did the cue ball go on that break shot?", I usually get a blank stare the first time I ask. The cue ball will tell you what you did wrong on the hit.
Most of the time, draw. If I'm having issues, follow is first choice, then I'll aim at the 2nd ball if follow doesn't produce the resutlt I'm wanting.
I like playing anyone at the bar.
I play at small pool halls. I mostly shoot alone. There's group of guys at one that play every Sat. afternoon. A young man renting the table next to mine asked to play me, I agreed. After some time passed he asked about the group of guys playing as he wanted to challenge them. I said they're good, trying to dissuade him. Eventually he went over and asked them to play us. He cam back and said they're scared of me. Lol. They came and played a few games with us. We lost but had fun. We played APA rules. I think if we'd have played bar room rules, I could have taken them. My partner needed more experience.
1 dime out, right or left side. Mostly right side.
I've just started going Saturday's during the day time (which is when they play). I'll change work shirt to street clothes, then go shoot. I went once in uniform, it was confusing for introductions. The bar and grill owner works day shift, so I got to finally meet him. **Work shirt has my nickname from the Army, Popeye. My id and debit card have my legal name. I am a Jr. and grew up being called by a nickname for my middle name.** I will probably go again this Saturday afternoon and see if they want to play, once I get off work.
Same spot, just aim for ball 2 on the right side.
haha that uniform story is funny, i bet that was a confusing first hello for everyone lol. hope this saturday goes well for you, let me know if they want a game when you get there
got it, same spot and aim for ball 2 on the right side. i will give that a try this week at end pocket, do you hit it pretty firm from there or more medium
pretty hard. Careful with side spin. I hate scratching on the break.
