Thanks for all of the replies! So I think I got my answer, in that there is a safety; it's just not the right shot. I set up this shot a few times last night to try the safety and I only made it once out of ten (I made the bank in the match the first try). As I was setting it up I remembered...

This is exactly what my team mate said ... I was concerned about selling out if i missed the bank, and he said, you sell out if you miss the safety too, so may as well go for the win, trust me its an easier shot anyway ;) and he was right. I wanted to ask here, moreso to confirm that I was...

Right? I think he was mad I made the bank, but still, why do you care why I take my time out? SMH

As a new player I watch TONS of YouTube videos on pool. I think I've probably watched them all, if not most of them. After a couple years of filtering down, I only follow Sharivari, Dr Dave & 'lil Chris.

Last night I had this to get on the hill against a 6 (I'm a 5); I called a time out because I wasn't really sure what to do; I'm on the 8. All I saw was a safety, trying to edge the cue ball behind the 11 and hook my opponent behind his own ball. My team mate talked me out of the safety and I...

I read a lot on here and don't post very much :)

Perfect! I'm with ya! :lol:

n00b alert :) what does 'on the wire' mean'?

right! Mickey O' sumthin-or-other

I read it! I'm new to pool and have no idea who you guys are but I like dean's stories. They make me think of my grandfather, who I never really knew, who is too old to tell stories now. I wish he could, because I do know that he played a lot pool back in the '40's & '50's... I've heard rumor...

it's only half way thru, tied at 5-5 race to 11 ... day 3 starts this afternoon ... singles matches tomorrow

I had no problem watching it in Canada :shrug: :shrug:

I didn't think so, they all look pretty focused on both sides.

JJ commentating on match 2 .. USA won the lag

USA 1-0 .... they won the first match 5-1 .. Niels broke & ran the first rack, then it was all USA

absolutely! it's good to have ALL of the facts though. His gut response was correct and he should have stuck with it, but he was pressed. I'm not sure Karl would have let him off without answering it, maybe, maybe not.
