I'm thinking you made a bet with someone as to how many threads you can start and how many posts each thread would get in a 6 month span....................

I saw Jerry Karsh shoot a 9 rail shot in denver and the cue ball stopped EXACTLY where he said it would. Never seen so much SKILL in my life when it came to shooting the rails.

And that, right there... Is playing the maximum.

That is knowledge, up there.

I think the ram shot is what is luck.

I'm going to say it like this, about 3 months ago I played someone who is on Youtube playing MIKE DAVIS. He ran me over in 9 ball. That was fine. I paid for the lesson. I switched the game to banks. And it really tightened up!! He won, but VERY SLIGHTLY (P.S. I was playing with a bar cue)

Yep, and my buddy played Efren, on more than one occasion. I still kick my buddies ass on a regular basis, and I'm light yrs from efrens speed.
P.S. - I can drum on my buddy with a mop handle.

Another P.S. - So you are a champion 1 railer in the making??

I'm having trouble picturing a game more skillful....maybe you can help me out here.

I'm agreeable with this post. There a many players that bank one rail shots well that aren't good players. When you see someone potting multiple rail banks, watch out for that guy.

Danny Smith was playing it against some guy in the action room. Check the thread.
