I remember a 6, then an 8. A few months later a 14. And many 14 after that. Months again before a 16, and many 14s. That pesky break shot! Eventually I lucked into a 21, then they came much faster into the 40s. I've made 57 twice, both times in practice, and years apart. Sent from my iPhone...

More than one post here has said that a double hit would have negated the draw, so the obvious draw effect means this was a good hit. This is not true. I see shots like that happen often, and I'm sure I could produce one in the first few tries. Also, I hope that all of us, when in an official...

No worries! I'm sure it's the fault of my writing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How do you plan to get to the 5 and 7? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I like banking the 2 soft into the 4 with right to go 2 rails with the cue ball ending with the cue, 9, 4, and 2 all along the same rail. The speed isn't too difficult. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Totally. In a bar setting I will always play by the local rules. If I win a table and have a challenger I ask them what rules they are used to. As an experienced player I figure I can adjust better than most people. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

See my post about this earlier in the thread. Here I was addressing only the post I quoted. I don't think we substantially disagree here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's you that doesn't understand the rules. Everyone involved in the original story played safe and accepted defense as within the rules. Further, a rule set that requires offense no matter what is incomplete, since it doesn't deal with situations where an offensive shot will lose the game or...
