Hey Guys,

does this only happen to me ?

it seems whenever i have a cluster of balls, let's say in the rack area. and next to the cluster is like 2 or 3 balls with enough space between the clusters for an object ball to pass through.

my cueball will always find that path without touching a ball !!!! lol

am i the only one that experiences this fate ???

had to share !

No it's not just you. it seems like I'll have long stretches where the cue ball always does the worst thing. Hours at a time.

Then it'll act right for a little while before it goes back. The gods are capricious

intentionally aim for the small space between the balls, you will hit the balls every time :)

lol, thanks Michael !!!

i ussually am pretty particular in what i aim to hit in a cluster, but i think the Cueball Knows this and chooses the path with the least resistance !!!

I meant this post to have some fun !!

Same answer as with all pool related questions - you just need to play more Balkline.

Dale, I "balk" with a "line" of expletives every time the cue ball does as Steve mentions!

I have been having the same thing happen lately, mainly because I am just learning the game of 14.1 but I am getting hooked on it. The one thing I am trying to work on to stop this is (I understand that this is not always possible because of the way the balls lay out) but I try to change my angle of attack into the cluster of balls so that the window gets smaller. In other words, when I can I try to go into the balls at an angle where the window is not wide enough for whitey to fit through. I wish I realized this sooner than later, but I guess that is what they call "learning" this game.
 
It s called "karma" :p

you get what you deserve *hides* :-)

Happy New Year!
