Thanks
Thanks Dennis for looking it over & commenting.
The 1st rack was no problem. I had no problem getting threw that rack.
The 2nd rack. I did set up a break shot very late in the rack with that combo and I knew that the one or the nine ball would set up for a break ball. I do not like doing that but some racks just lay out that way and you have to work with what you got.
The behind the rack break ball. I used a center hit, plus a stun shot to stop the cue ball. With break balls near the end of the rack. I find if I use High Left or Hight Right depending on which way I am shooting, it will sent the cue ball way up table. If no other ball goes up there. You are left with a long shot. That break ball was too close to the end of the rack. I have also seen the cue ball scratch in the corner on those shots with high left or right.
The rack where I flirted with the side pocket. I pocketed that corner ball a little too hard and the cue ball rolled about 2 inches too far. I would of had a good break shot if I would of had more room to draw the cue ball properly.
The follow break after hitting the two bottom rails was done properly and just kicking out a few balls is what is to be expected. Also the break out shot where the cue ball just stopped dead in the cluster. I do believe I would of had a shot on the same ball that I shot after the cue ball got kicked out. I did not want the cue ball to stop dead on that shot but sometimes those other balls have a mind of their own.
As for the Body English........ LOL.... I think that I am a Bowler sometimes.
I just can't help it.
Thanks Dennis. I appreciate your comments.
Another nice run.
There were 3 or 4 times in the first rack where I said to myself, "what does he have?', and then "I don't like having to shoot that" but you would just get down and quickly shoot them in. No hesitation on shooting balls in the top two pockets. Never a doubt.
Second rack they opened fine and you picked them off fine. I was wondering if you were going to use one of the balls that eventually was part of the combination for your break shot. It was not until you shot off the combination that a few possible break shots were manufactured.
Behind the rack break shot they opened great but your cue ball kind of died. What did you use on that shot? I was thinking you would use high left and come out to the middle but it looked like you were cueing center. You took care of business up top quickly and then started picking them off again. Lots of stop shots. I could not tell what your break ball and key ball were going to be but no problem for you.
Another nice break and you start picking them off. You rarely bump a ball when you don't have to. Your end pattern was a little dicey after you made that ball in the bottom right and the one next to it drifted over. You had to shoot diagonally up table and then flirted with the side but you got there ok. A little flat.
Not much on the break but just enough for another break shot after your body english helped that shot go in up top. Your cue ball was stuck to the rack for a second until a ball thankfully knocked it loose. The balls were still kind of messy and I figured you would draw into them next. You had to perform some very close surgery to take apart this rack and in the end you had to make some longer cuts and travel the cue ball a bit but it came out good in the end.
Wow. Big angle. off the rack and 3 balls go in and everything looks open. Tough leave on the penultimate shot.
Good Shooting, as usual.:thumbup:
