In the context that "getting" that ball means you win the rack if you make it, then ... yes? How is my league-hacker ass having to explain this? It's kinda the fundamental rule of 9-ball.
I wanted a matching Predator extension for my Roadline, but the price tag is just jaw-dropping. Been using this one for a year or so now, and have been pleased with it. 33 bucks on Amazon.
The six-ball shootout, while arguably gimmicky, is fun to watch. Watching a wild-eyed Melling sprint his chubby ass around the table is inevitably entertaining.
Thought it might end up being Johnny vs Oscar in one of the early-round matches, but I guess he dodged that?
Edit: never mind; I see OD somehow managed to lose his first-round match in the Shootout.
My brother shoots with a nearly-pristine Meucci 333-2 from the 90's. (That I picked up on here; shoutout jazznpool)
When I occasionally play with it, the contrast to my Pred 314-3 is stark. Feels like a buggy whip.
