Maybe they can just play bih after any miss? The best shooter will win
I disagree. 10 ball with the option is the best game for the pros to play, by far. There is very, very little luck in that game. Don`t talk to me about the death of the 2 way shot, play one or the other. I have loved this game since the first time i saw it used at Hopkins` Billiard Expo years ago. I have never seen the problem with taking the luck out of the game at the pro level.<-----Sammy, if you don't mind my asking..just how many years have you "been around"?
Based on the horrible set of rules they are playing, I'm guessing just a matter of time someone will want to play--"If you miss, you lose, game over"!..The game we (and the spectators) once all enjoyed, has become a joke! Ask Buddy Hall, or Mike Sigel what they think of all the 'new rule' BS!
PS..Maybe they should also play, if you call a safety, and don't get safe..you lose the whole damn session.!...."Call safety", what a farce!!![]()
Called shot is the best way to gamble. Guys lucking in balls of missing and leaving you dead safe is no way to loose.
At least people are starting to look at the Texas Express rules. Worst thing to ever happen to pool is Texas express. I think it would be better if you eliminated the call safe and kept the rest of the rules. We would find out how good these guys really are.
cueenvy..You must have missed my earlier response to your take on "luck"!

Ignacio leading 18-11.
I don't want to win or lose on rolls...called shot is where it's at. You old timers need the rolls...not me sir
Us 'old timers' learned early on, not to depend on rolls!..Good execution, and solid play will usually overcome most bad rolls..It doesn't appear you believe that!..Keep on hating that you're always unlucky in the roll department! I'm sure that will help! (good luck wi' dat)
