I heard through the grapevine that a 10 ball league I play in is going to call shot/call safety and was curious how others who play this way adjusted their strategy against players of different speed. With the change, I will lose one of my favorite plays, the two way shot.
My first thoughts are I will pass back difficult shots which don't have good safety potential even if they are not hidden to players who have a difficult time running two balls hoping for better run out potential. Against good players, I see being more conservative and playing more safeties than I usually do. It seems like CB control will become more important and it will make the game more conservative.
Am I off base in my thinking? What are your thoughts and experiences?
