    What order to shoot the stripes with ball in hand?

    There's no need. The suggested patterns are fine. As I stated , any competent player can get out starting with any of the balls. The attempt at humor was completely lost. I see that few here have ever rolled their eyes as their teammate "took the easy ball in the middle". Lighten up guys...

    The ultimate pool challenge

    And yes, the return angle on that drawing is suspect. The draw sliding down the rail is somewhat attainable.

    The ultimate pool challenge

    When I started playing there was a practice drill I enjoyed that began with a ball in each pocket and a ball on the foot and head spot. The object was to sink the 8 balls in as few shots as possible. I can confidently say I've played this shot thousands of times and I've used it a time or two...

    banks are always open poster request

    I've got access to large format printers and I've printed a number of items for my pool room. Printing is the easy part. My problem has always been getting good resolution artwork.

    What order to shoot the stripes with ball in hand?

    Don't feel attacked. I assume we all play with those lower skilled players that will ignore problem areas in favor of taking the ball in the middle. I forgot the typical AZ poster is a local shortstop. My apologies.

    What order to shoot the stripes with ball in hand?

    It was not to imply you could not run it out. It's not a difficult layout and I'm confident I could get out regularly starting with any of the balls. That said , if my opponent has bih and starts with the open ball in the middle of the table I consider it a strong indicator in my favor.

    What order to shoot the stripes with ball in hand?

    Taking the open ball in the middle of the table with BIH is usually all I need to know about my opponents game.

    Chalk Mfg (miscue) vs Golf Ball Mfg

    Elephant Balls chalk doesn't roll far. It's shaped like a triangle. It's worse than a Lego if you don't have shoes on.

    When your first sentence is objectively and demonstrably wrong I assume the rest is similarly without value. Have you heard about the lead in Flints water supply?

    8 ball vs 9 ball

    The basics of Saratoga is that the 7 and 15 are removed from the rack. Break. Establish your set by pocketing the lowest number ball of either set and then once your set is established the player must pocket them in order , with the 8 being for the win.

    This thread should be in NPR. The need to virtue signal and place it here, among the threads intended for pool is the issue. It will recieve the comments it receives and you will just have to deal with it. Keep non pool topics off the pool forum if it triggers you.

    For some reason I feel compelled to note that we have untold billions to help Ukrainians but we can't afford to deliver non-toxic drinking water to major metropolitan areas. And other minor details like healthcare and stuff.

    I respect the vets that have been hoodwinked into fighting wars for others political gains. I'll also point out empty bullshit that might be likely to encourage others to sign up for the ultimate sacrifice for nothing more than the profit of others.

    I'm not sure of the intent and to be honest I don't think the answer is relevant to any points of my post. My brother served and I saw how he was treated after sacrificing his health after disposing stockpiles of chemical weapons on Johnston Atoll. My buddy Mark was hit in the head by...

    No poster has shown disrespect to the vets. Take your false narrative to Npr where it belongs. Better yet. Take your whole not pool related thread off a pool related forum.

    8 ball vs 9 ball

    I enjoy the creativity of 1pkt. The caroms ,multi rail banks ,carom banks ,kick combos and so on ,along with the mental calculations of whether it's prudent to take the shot while keeping whitey safe. Then 8 ball , for the creativity of all the multiple ways to run the rack while dealing with...
