Here's one example. Imagine you're shooting on the two ball and the three ball is at the other end of the table and it is in a small cluster of balls. With shoot out you can shoot at the two ball and go the multiple rails needed to break out the three ball and you know that you have a good...

Definitely right English. I've hit that shot a number of times. Never happen with left spin. With elevation of the cue it lifts off the table and when it come down the axis of the cue ball has changed.

I have played a few but one in particular stands out. I played this guy three or four times at different places in the course of a week. We always started at $40 a game playing nine ball and him getting the seven. After a number of games it always escalated to higher amounts. In the times we...

Also ceiling fans too close and above the table will have an effect on the way the balls will roll sometimes.

I have never heard this before in any league or tournament play. Maybe so but hard for me to believe. I would think that any movement of the cue ball in any way is a foul resulting in a ball in hand. With the rule you suggest if one is preparing to bridge and accidentally touch the cue ball it...

For a fair amount of years after TE became the game of choice the top players still preferred to play shoot out when playing for the big $$ because of the luck factor in TE.

Just giving up ball in had is not a violation. In your scenario I would advise that instead of picking up the cue ball and handing it to your opponent you should just touch the cue ball with your hand just enough to prove that you fouled. Let them now move the cue ball. If you pick it up and...

I just went through this whole thread. I'm surprised that no one has mentioned that there were two ways to play push out nine ball. Most popular was ball in hand after any two fouls. He pushes out and you now have the option to shoot or give it back. Either way who ever shoots must satisfy...

In a game of one pocket you can have a lengthy conversation with your opponent without ever saying a word. All the talking is done with the balls.

I believe that Brunswick rolled out their Centennial table in 1945 and not 1934 as the ad says. Nice table. I got the 9 footer.

Amazing that our stories are very much the same. We'll talk about this someday.

I have no problem with the shot clock but I believe that in hill/hill matches it should be done away with.. Let them play it out. What's the hurry at that point. P.S. Nice commentating Jay. Very enjoyable. You do it well for the experienced players and for the general viewers.

You might be right. I think you lost some games in the first set because you missed shots with open tables where you could have got four or five balls instead you didn't get any. Clean that up and you're right in the mix of things.

Yep, I've been around this game long enough to know that it's best to just be a spectator and stay out of games that I'm not involved with.

I know we've all shot a key ball and had it skid causing us to lose that game. Normally a ball shot with low speed. My question have you ever shot one that skidded and the skid helped you win a game. I don't recall that ever happening to me. Has it to you or have you seen someone win because of...

Now you got me wondering who would post such a silly question.

Never heard that one before. It wouldn't bother me if they did it.

Thank you for the well wishes in Houston. All I can do it try my best.

I always put it at one of the two balls behind the nine ball. These two balls usually get the less movement. If he breaks from the left then I put it on the left..

I heard they paid one third of the field. That's a lot a cash paid out.
