Recently I read somewhere that 8ball is nothing more than a simple puzzle, so I took this thought process to the practice table and it's really paying off! Like puzzles, 8-ball routes are not always seen easily so you might have to move a few position pieces to get you started. Currently I've never had so much fun playing the game, it seems I can rack em up for 6-8hrs and not once get bored or lose interest playing by myself. Although it's harder right now to get out and play due to the fact I'm temporarily table free at the house. I just can't get enough pool!!!! I'm no longer playing people or shots, I'm solving puzzles and stalling the game with safeties until I can solve it. one of the advantages I like is it takes opponent out of your mind. Just you and your balls!
