Thanks mj, agree with most of what you said. Def better to avoid the cushions but I would prob add the center pocket break shot at number 3 or 4 of my favs. No rails involved and is very similar to breaking the reds from the blue in snooker.
sjm, you sound like a great guy to play
Thanks for the info, nice to have something to aim for. Although my 5th attempt last night was too productive and nothing much to post about. Having another try shortly
