Yeah, it's older than 1987. Also, I wasn't aware that there was a difference between scratching in a pocket and the cueball flying off the table.
I was playing back then and I remember all balls being spotted and cueball anywhere in the kitchen. Jay said and cueball off the table meant ball in...
Another way is to play a safety on the lowest numbered ball moving it in line with the 9 ball and hiding the cueball so that if you get ball in hand you have a combo on the 9.
I watched that match too, I think in retrospect she should have used draw and the 2 ball would have followed forward and pushed the hanging 9 ball in the pocket. Anyways, you're right, she handled it with class.
I was watching "Clash of the Titans" tournament that was held not long ago in Toronto I believe. Anyways, Shane is talking with one of the commentators and when asked about Orcullo, Shane said he didn't want to play him because he's playing too good.
I couldn't believe it but go watch it on...
I won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen the match yet, but Keith mades a hell of a left-handed shot on the end to win it.
I think you spoiled it Jam
I think banking the ten one rail to your side and leaving the cb on yoor opponents rail is about as good as it gets.
I wouldn't want to disturb that 3 ball cluster seeings it doesn't benefit your opponent as it lays now.
I was watching a segment of Clash of the Titans pool tournament on you tube. Alex P. vs. John Morra and Shane Van Boening was a guest commentator.
At some point in the match they were talking about aiming and Shane mentioned that he doesn't look at the cueball he just sees the tip of the cue...
I pick Efren for many reasons. I've always been a big fan of boxing and my all time favorite boxer was Alexis Arguello. He was a champion for sure but never stopped being a gentleman. Even after he would knock a fighter out he would go and check to make sure the fighter was okay after the fight...
That shot also comes up in one pocket when your opponent has scratched and has to spot a ball and there's say 4 balls lined up on the spot. 2 rails into the side of the balls moving 2 or 3 of them to your side and sending the cue up table.
It's a great shot to have in your one pocket arsenal...
Happy Birthday George!
Your writing style has entertained me for years and like many others have said, your column is the first thing I flip to when I pick up the Billiards Digest.
