I will watch if I get the chance. Thanks. Tell me this, was they using the Sardo? I have never played where the table, balls and cloth were new and a Sardo was used. I have never seen a Sardo other than on TV, but I have been told that the Sardo needs to be "set-up". "Set-up" means making...

After re-reading my response, I can see where you get your impression. To clear things up, I didn't mean the goal was to make the nine. The goal is to give a tight rack. With a tight rack, the balls scatter better. Now, with a loose rack, one can see what "might" happen. My point is: If all...
