. This game can be played with 2 - 4 players.... or just as a practice game for 1. The 2011 rules have been revised for clarity. Simple rules for a strategy game. Pocket balls with any higher number than the previous ball. No numerical order. After the highest ball pockets the low ball becomes...

I'm sure it's more often stroke related. Aiming itself is stroke related: it's harder to learn to aim with a gun that doesn't shoot straight. . The above quote is posted by Patrick Johnson in a thread on the Main forum. I think this may be the best explanation of why shots are unknowingly...
