I threw the balls on the table the other day to practice (I often don't feel like racking and breaking...). I said to myself, this is a nice layout, let me "precisely" plan out the entire layout in my head. AND, let me mark the position of each ball with doughnuts, and play the layout over and over, and see if I can exactly execute, and/or find a better pattern.
I played a race to 7 of the "exact same pattern". I thought it was good practice, and may help to recognize angles and patterns in the future, that may be similar to what I shot over and over in this particular layout. I plan to try the same thing with future layouts.
Also of note, before I did the race to 7 on camera, I tried the layout a bunch of times, and found the problem shots (for me) of going twice across table on the 6 to get to the 7. I then practiced those individually, with varying CB locations, to try to learn them better.
I plan to practice some problem shots (the 7) I had on the video more later, then try the ghost again.
It was fun, and I thought a good practice technique.
Video is below, and set at 5x speed, for easy viewing. Enjoy the Chipmunks.
