    How do you get down?

    Coming in 3 pages late and uh, well ignorant of any ongoing discussion. My first take on "get down" is to dance. 🤔 Mine is a 3 step dance. Well a 3 step process. 1) analysis and plan 2) Aim 3)Execution 1) A computation process that is done standing and even walking around the table doing a...

    THE Magic Rack

    The ink will transfer to the cloth and cueball. So when my break spot starts to show wear the strategic placement of the break pad can change the appearance. 🤷‍♂️

    THE Magic Rack

    Left vs Right practice has Lefty nailing the break. The cue is on the line of the shot. The intention was for the white to come straight back 6 to 12 inches. Nothing went on a proven make all 3 method. 🤷‍♂️ still fun practice.

    Practice what I Preach

    Oh my oh my......slow .. game. Gotta love it. When my opponent whines about my slow play it reminds me of the youngster that I won 14 straight of 9 ball in 45 minutes and he complained of my slow game at the $50 payout. At 9 down, I had 3 barrels left. 🤷‍♂️

    THE Magic Rack

    Please excuse my flashback moment of my 4 hrs B-52 ride in a practice low level bomb run over the grand canyon. The Delta formation (less the lone pace car leader and plus 2 more on the wings.). 350 knots at 800 ft off the deck. Ground turbulent ride!!!@ Okay, what's to explain? I use them as...

    Just a bit off topic but I was pleasantly surprised to find this match that's just a day old on youtube. Not sure when it was played.

    6-6. 3 on the spot. shooting from your pocket. WWYD?

    The various giggles attempts provided entertainment but nothing good. Would definitely be a hit em hard and wish em well shot for me. 🤷‍♂️ So in the interest of gauging, I made 1 attempt at my choice of bank the 1 ball for my side pocket (area) and control the white rock. Yep, yep I submit...

    The cueball control endeavor had whitey follow the line the cue is on. The speed and spin got it where it sits......the other 3 might hold a C player 🤷‍♂️ 😉

    6-6. 3 on the spot. shooting from your pocket. WWYD?

    I experiment. My first make after roughly ....8 attempts g or t. 🤷‍♂️ The target for white was the other quadrant and near the opponent pocket. I found multiple sell outs, well over 50%. It's kind of fun though. So I will seek the cueball control after striking the 3 then 2. No special...

    6-6. 3 on the spot. shooting from your pocket. WWYD?

    One ball one pocket was the game used to fleece the wealthy owner of the Down Under in Chico. I already had the intell on the player the owner was backing. "If you are not in on it....don't bet." One story included signals from the booking agent as to who wins the next rack. 🤷‍♂️ I like the 3...

    Can't help it 😉 Is my weak assed answer from the position in the last picture. 🤷‍♂️ practice practice practice. Ooops the straight back bank reminds me of the one that Cole hit. It (object ball) was approximately at the head string with whitey where it sits in the picture. And had the kiss. So...

    My favorite one pocket lessons came watching Cole play Harry. The true Masterpiece was his $25,000 score at a thousand per game. All night and till about noon Sunday. 🤷‍♂️ Cole and ...was it Cecil that played 7 games in 35 minutes? The breaker won in the second inning every rack racing to 4. I...

    Chalk on The Rail

    At one time I placed the chalk on the rail in location for access on next shot. Of course it gave me a visual target for the line as well. 🤷‍♂️ Stan figured me out and remove the chalk and politely handed it to me, I haven't done it since.

    Experiment is my answer. 🤷‍♂️ Sometimes my Experiments produce Do Do and I can chalk that up to knowledge. Kinda like eating smart pills. 🤷‍♂️ can't remember how the rabbit pellets joke goes. I can't remember your solution. Guess I could look back.... okay found it. Tried it and it's too...

    6-6. 3 on the spot. shooting from your pocket. WWYD?

    Playing from the bottom right pocket and banking the head ball 7 for the side pocket, taking whitey to the head rail and back. Might be my best answer......so far 🤷‍♂️ 😉
