Just put EVERYONE on a shot clock.
Maybe more time for a game like one pocket, but for the other games....60 seconds with ZERO extensions. You fail and you lose your turn.
And as long as this is a topic, I have some other comments.
All games should be played by "Grady's Rules" as outlined in his book...: Call your pocket (doesn't matter how the ball gets there) and if you miss and leave your opponent snookered, your opponent has the option to make you shoot again.
Two big problems solved.
Objective much?
True.
Yes it happens.
Safety play is excessive with most women. Come up short on position and play safe.
Repeatedly. A safety battle at the 8?
Crazy.
No s^&t!! Make it like a cattle-prod. Have it shock the player who goes over time limit. I'd pay to sweat it for sure.Sounds like a shot clock should be a future feature for the DigiCue BLUE... :grin-square:
Watch how long she takes to pull the trigger once she's down on the ball especially at the end of the match. Looks like she just freezes-up. The lady can play but she just looks so indecisive when it counts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roOKmP1III8
Its not just the overall speed but how she seems to almost freeze when down on the ball. I've watched Buddy play a lot. He takes his time sizing up a shot but never takes this long to pull the trigger. It looks like indecision to me and she misses tough/key shots because of it. She's not the lone ranger in this regard but she happens to be subject here.I haven't seen JB play much, but I checked out the link above. I just looked at one rack. Jennifer breaks the balls at 9:55 and pockets a ball. The balls lay ok but there is a tough transition as the four ball is tough to fall on. She makes the one ball, shoots the two to get a good angle on the three, falls well on the four ball short side for a pocket up table, then has to put the four down with some interference with her bridge, and finally mops up the remaining balls in short order. Pockets the 9 ball at 13:20 or so.
3 1/2 minutes for a very smooth break and run. Very little fiddling around between shots. The last few balls she didn't rush, but she absolutely just shot them in.
I've seen horrendously slow play but based on what I just saw my verdict is that JB is doing just fine.
Ugh!!Kaci/Baretta....make a tough scotch dbls team eh .
I meant the 8 in 9ball sorry. It was bad.D through B minus players- 8 ball is a safety game as they cant break up clusters, move other balls around etc and run out. If they like winning they have to go w safes and hope their opponent tries to run-out.
A+ and Open players run out- It is too easy of a game for them, truthfully-unless of course you throw in the rounded tiny pockets a la Chinese 8 Ball..

Exactly.BNRs are fast, but its the games that involves safeties. That 3min game becomes a 15min game. Race to 7 becomes 2+ hrs, which is treacherous.
as an aside, Jennifer Barretta would have little problem beating most, if not all of us, posting in this thread.
truth :yeah:

Someone on here once said and I loved it, “I don’t play with slow players nor do I associate with them.”

I wish dhe was at Expo!Chezka Centeno from the Phillipines plays FAST. Female version of Shaw.
Top 7 for ladies on fargo(752), so she is very legit.
Problem with that logic is you couldn't criticize most athletes.as an aside, Jennifer Barretta would have little problem beating most, if not all of us, posting in this thread.

That's why it has to be done across the board, all the time.
