I have two possible breakout balls. With all things equal as far as being able to get good shape on either ball which one would you prefer. Of course, both balls (the 4 and 7) are on the rack end of the table. The 4 ball, is on the left side of the rack one diamond off the side rail and 1-2/3...

Tournament is streaming now and thru the weekend. Go to www.badboysbp.com and click on the TV tab. It goes off and on between the matches so you need to look at the brackets to figure out when it will go live again.

We have a special rule in our pool league. Someone said it was a rule but I have never found it. I am hoping for clarification from our distinguished straight pool experts. The 15th ball and the cue ball were both in the rack. So all 15 of the balls were racked and the cue ball was put in the...

Last night we were debating if this would be a legal use of bridges. We had a variety of opinions.

I play in a 8-ball team league in Houston. We score points each game; the winner gets 10 points the loser gets 1 point for each of his/her balls pocketed. We had a funny thing happen and had trouble figuring out how to score it. Thought I would toss it out to you all and get all of the various...

I got an Amazon gift card for Xmas. I am pretty new at 14.1; been playing league 1-1/2 years. Looking for a good instructional DVD on the subject. Would appreciate any help.

I got a Amazon gift card for Christmas. I haven't looked at the value of it yet but think it will be either $50 or $100. I am a strong C or maybe B player and thought I would like to buy some instructional DVDs with it and see if it might help with my game. I really like 14.1 and would be...

Had a funny thing happen in league last night. My opponent shot a ball into a pocket that was almost full and put high english on the cue ball. The object ball was pocketed and the cue ball followed it into the pocket but since the pocket was now completely full of balls the cue ball hit the...

Sometimes if a fella does not have a good breakout shot when the 14 pocketed balls have been re-racked he will call a safety and pocket the last 15th ball left on the table and leave the cue ball at the Rail in the Kitchen. Then all 15 balls are racked up and the other player has to play really...

I started playing in a 14.1 league about 8 months ago. I admit I am a slow player. When I try and play faster my win percentage really drops off. When I do well I play a lot of safeties; I am a pretty decent safety player so if I am faced with a marginally difficult shot I will usually go for a...

Let's say the 15th ball is in the kitchen (very close to a corner pocket, a real duck) and the cue all is in the rack. So the cue ball goes on the head spot. The obvious thing to do would pocket the ball and try and go into the other balls to break them up. As we all know when the object ball is...

We had a situation in our 14.1 pool league which we were not sure about. The cue ball ended up in the rack. The 15th object ball was in the kitchen but not on the head spot. The rules for this situation said put the cue ball on the head spot. The argument was can you shot directly at the object...
