For a good players that can be an advantage often. Now I have another ball to shoot at if you try to play safe or miss and to get position on the next ball. But that rule is impossible to play at a bar table that captures the balls.

Their rule #5 is actually a different version of the one in our local tavern.
Locally you must make an "honest effort" to pocket one of your balls -- you have to hit your ball first but no penalty other than loss of turn if you don't. Locally, if you play defense, it's a chorus of "chicken-shit".
There they acknowledge that you are allowed to play defense -- but no BIH reward and loss of game if you don't make a convincing try to hit your ball first.
I was playing some cheap 9b once with a visitor and his friend watching. After losing two games, dude pulls up and says I'm too good, play his friend..
Having been born yesterday, I say sure. I think I might pull up after losing what I won back, precedent having been set for that.
His friend says he wants to play a set.i say that's fine but I want a spot...we agree I'll get the 7.
He loses 2 sets with the 7 and 1 even.
Dude told me I asked about the butt-width from the rail once playing the first dude, so they figured I was just a decent pocketer getting lucky for a couple games.
Tee...hee.
Sounds legit!
