Jim, Heather, Steve, Elvi, John and Mr. Lipsky: Thanks, guys. Wasn't really playing too well. Missed some earlier key shots that left great breakers for George. And I noticed my chicken wing stroke was in full flight on some of the shots. Back to the drawing board.
Congrats on the new high run Dennis ! nice shooting, but i think you should have opened that cluster in the 3rd rack pretty early instead of shooting everything else in until you have only 1 ball left to open it up. if the 10 ball would have stayed at the rail you would have had a harder time. I would have played the 10-ball with left english to hit the 1-ball out to the side of the rack for a breakshot, cueball should stop about where the 1 was and then just shoot the striped in the side and break the next rack.
Just my thoughts, might help you a little....you will break 50 soon, keep it up.
I know I waited too long. I'll have to look at the whole rack again and see when I should have gone in.
What you suggested was exactly what I was trying to do, but it was a bit thin and I did not stroke it well. I was trying to come under it and bump it up.
George would have probably grabbed it anyway once I had my back turned.
I beat my high this year by one ball. My high last year was 57 and I would like to beat that this year.
