This is silver cup from a decade or more ago. Doubt if the tip lasted more than a hundred hours of play. It had gone maybe the previous 6 months on Masters. Now I carry my own Masters.

Good thing it passes. :p

ooh picky picky. :ROFLMAO: Actually 'take a scratch' is less syllables than intentional foul and easier to type.

You'd hope it's just the one or two fouls.

Dad would use that expression. Besides the spoonerosity, I never saw the humor in it. Maybe I should goog fart smeller? :LOL:

I've gone through a WB tip in about a month thanks to Silver Cup chalk. Never use that stuff again.

Do you have to counteract any natural spin? That's a lotta mirrors.

Might be a good move quitting. The guy might be more judicious next time.

Even if you stay scratch for scratch do you really want to play 13, 13 say? I try for legal contact asap. If all I have is the stack, I'd probably open a ball on the enemy side just to get one to the rail.

No. The question is how far you'd ropeadope if you had to? I'd still rather run the balls and hate taking scratches.

Per the video I'd still try what he did but there's often dig room on the CB and most still ignore the shot. Any personal rule on scratches like no more than you'd spot someone?

People usually ignore the ball by the side pocket. In this case it was close to the cushion. If it's further up and nothing is available, I'll draw off it down into enemy territory to land on any convenient ball. I've seen guys on youtube take a scratch instead of disturbing the side pocket...

Did you set this up as a promotional deal?

This is losers bracket "que sera sera". Make sense now?
