Somebody needs to teach that poor bastard CTE.
Mr. Bautista, sir, was that you playing against Sigel in that match?https://youtu.be/zZv_4OvNcIg?t=129
and not break your stick after scratching.

I thought I recognized you in there? ( been a long time)
You play better than you used to do....that's pretty darn good. You rattled him. :thumbup2:
Did you win it?
Funny how he "accidentally" broke his stick. :wink:
I know it was Mike, one of the greatest players in history, but that wasn't a smart shot. If I had been his opponent, and he didn't break his stick right then, I'd have said, "You fell into my trap", and then he'd have broken his stick.
Was that in Hollywood Billiards?I can't believe how much follow that cue ball had.
And you can tell Sigel has real good knowledge of combos.
Slight overcut and the ball goes dead nuts.
Btw, no big deal in breaking his shaft.
He had a cue making business then.

(last time I saw you, you were putting on tips in there)
Like I said, its been a long time and I'm very old now.
All he had to do was stun it. The combo's high percentage for him.I know it was Mike, one of the greatest players in history, but that wasn't a smart shot.

Ahh come on Joey, don't be so modest, you were the best cue tip installer around So. Cal. back then.You must be so old, you're remembering things that never happened. ��
Nice try but, no cigar.Ahh come on Joey, don't be so modest, you were the best cue tip installer around So. Cal. back then.
Maybe it was either during the time you were hanging out at Kerry Zeiler's shop or after he died.
(you're right about me being very old. A confounded dinosaur actually):smile:
It's good to chat with you again. Back then, you called me "that skinny guy with the hillbilly drawl". You remember that?

Sorry to bother you man. Just thought I'd bring up old acquaintance.Nice try but, no cigar.
I believe he wanted to penetrate the pack and make sure his cue ball would be past the middle of the table.

Really.........I hope you realize he put himself in that position and no one else. In other words, no opponent left him that shot......he did it himself.
That is one of those shots I call trying to do too much.
Trying to make a combo and open the rack.
To me, he was going for position on the 8 to open up the rack but the 6 got in the way of that so he went for the combo to try to open the rack.
That change where into the rack the CB would be going. Going off just the 8 would have put the CB into the cluster of balls just above and right of the 8.
Going off the 6 would have put the CB into the more opened balls above.
Based on the speed of the shot, I believe he was trying to force the CB to go into the the tighter cluster that he was trying for off the 8.
Like I said......trying to do much on a shot.
And.........there was no overcut.
