So, what aiming system was the BIG WINNER?
And, what aiming system was the BIG LOSER?
Ohhh?!?!
The Secret D-PIITH System.
I wonder if a small group of fanatics will come out and argue about it for the next 20 years. Maybe this thread belongs in The Main Forum?
Say, do you think any of The Pros will start teaching it? (secretly, of course)
It's coming out on two dvd's and then a truth book.
The take away..........he who makes the fewest errors wins........
You can quote me on that......
Excellent take away. I have a "King of the Hill" tournament tomorrow. It's a tough format -- 5 players on each table, and each table is played in a "winner stays up" format until every player but one gets 5 loses. That one player then moves into the money bracket. I've played many of these tournaments without missing a ball and still didn't win my table. One time I won 18 of the 24 games played on my table, stringing together several 3 packs, and yet LOST the table due to an error here or there.
All it takes is 1 error to get knocked out of this tournament. You could win 7 or 8 games in a row playing great, then hook yourself, or scratch on some fluke roll, and lose that game and never get another opportunity. It goes like this.....You now have 1 loss. You wait for your turn to play again, then you rack and your opponent breaks and runs. 2 losses. You wait your turn again, then rack and watch as your opponent makes the 9 on the break. 3 losses. You wait again, rack, opponent breaks and runs. 4 losses. Wait. Rack. Opponent breaks, shoots the 1 and then pops a 3-9 combo. And just like that you've got 5 loses and you're out, all because of that 1 error you made after winning those first 7 or 8 games.

Wouldn't it make sense to lag for break in a race to one? At least you get a shot.
