I had two R6s, and two R1s (first one was stolen). Absolute beasts on the track. I eventually sold because I was no longer scared...which scared the hell out of me riding around southern Cal.

They just changed that rule within the last two events. It used to be loss of turn, but now they are able to keep shooting if only making the 8. I missed the double extension!

Ultimate Pool USA YouTube channel. It is currently live. They were the first match.
