That's a great idea! I'm going to try that.
Sounds like it could be a good way to learn the game - less traffic, easier end patterns. Like the new name too.

It's fun to put a 6 ball rack at one end and on the break spot, make a 4 ball diamond, your break shot can be either one that you declare before potting the next to last ball.
Fast change proof you kids too.
I use to practice this game on my 7 footer but I didn’t like it. It would seem that high runs would be easier with less traffic and balls BUT!!! You ran into more problems when balls were clustered or needed to be moved into different positions.
Since there are less balls to play position on it does make it harder to run racks. My top run was 38 I believe

It’s a fun idea. Practiced like this many times since I had a Connelly 7’ table (actually slightly smaller than a 7’ table ) for 20+ years.
To me anyway. The .1 throws my addition off. Where does that ball go?Sorry, I don't speak... whatever that is.
pj <- but I bet it's funny

You mean where in the rack? Just a normal 10-ball rack (not 9.1 balls)...
pj <- overliteralizing as usual

I plan on giving it a try as well. I love to practice 14.1 on our 7’ Diamond just for a change. Shotmaking is never a problem on the smaller table, but there always seems too be something that comes up that prevents me from stringing more than 2-3 racks.
No just in the score. 9, 18, 27 etc... Somebody's getting rich.
last ball always stays on the table, so each rack is only 9 balls.
It's worse with 14.1. lol. I need flash cards.
Yeah, it's fun and break shots can come from almost anywhere.
