Happy New Year!

Hello there!

Tight Rack I'll give it a shot.

It's hard to believe that the last 3 pages of posts were worse than the first 11. After the first 11 pages of posts, something in the last 3 pages were so offensive and explosive that they had to be deleted, uh... yeah right! I agree with sausage, either lock the damn thing or delete all posts.

When I get bored, I learn a new game. It opens up a whole other wold and aspect of your game.

About 2:36 into Archer's 120, 2nd rack is very interesting. They are talking about follow, draw or basically a stun shot when your cue ball is on the left or right hand side of the center of the break ball. I also noticed on break shots, Jonny seams more comfortable going to the side rail then...

hhhhhhhhhhh

Ahhhhh-haaaaa I see. You probably didn't even need to look at the video to know what was going on. Thanks for checking that out and taking your time to answer.
