    Does the degree of difficulty really change ?

    Playing 1 pocket your pocket is nearest the 1 and you need both balls. Is the 1 really more difficult to make with outside English? I know for me it certainly is. I don't know if it's because I go inside on this shot whenever I can or if the difficulty is real?

    Run this layout

    I have been practicing this layout for 3 nights.Runout in # order. 4 has to be shot in the corner closest to it. No banks and don't run into any balls. Playing on a shimmed up 9' diamond with older cloth. It has been brutal for me but I have got real good at skimming that 3 ball down the rail.

    Getting a object ball to follow thru?

    So a ball is in the pocket and you want to shoot a ball into it and thru into the same pocket. I use a slight draw stroke but is there a better way? Maybe jumping slightly into the object ball so it bounces into the blocking ball?

    Visualizing shots NOT AIMING

    Cory Duels great 8 ball shot was the product of understanding his ability to move the 8 and where it could potentially be pocketed. I shoot a little warm up shot to highten my concentration , gain knowledge of table speed, and check table roll off. I place a object ball along the end rail 1/4"...

    Diamond bar boxes are trash

    All in all worst tables I have ever played on. Shoot soft so you dont over run position. Shoot hard to get around the table and come up short. 9footers blue label / red label are serviceable but Brunswicks are still better.

    Superman's downfalls ?

    I know he does win but what holds him back from winning more often? I wonder if it's table management as he seems to have all the skills ? He is currently in the rocking chair at the huge Buffalo 1 pocket trnmnt. I hope does win this.
