Yes, there is that shot, but remember you must still drive a ball to the rail or it's a foul. It's not that effective in getting balls in play on your side of the table and it's not that hard to escape from. It looks good when it works but it can also be a disaster when it doesn't work. You must hit the pack just right to make it work for you. Grady was the best at shooting this opening break shot.
The lack of chatter on the subject doesn't surprise me. The tighter the break the less to shoot the more crafty the requirements. I for one despise the intentionals. lolInterestingly enough no one is talking about the various alternate One Pocket breaks where the corner ball will never leak out. Instead of trying to make a thin hit on the head ball and fuller hit on the second ball, try this same break on the second and third balls in the rack and also on the third and fourth balls and finally on the fourth and fifth balls. When your break is not working move down the rack and you will find a sweet spot to break from. Try it, you'll like it!
When you play a guy, who ever wins the first game is the winner? That's a new concept. Regarding what I said about Jays bet, yes going to 45 the player will go broke no matter who he is.
As insane as it may sound, playing one pocket on a bar table. That was the break they would use. I watched Steve Cook play some big dollar one pocket on a bar table, have no idea why there was a pool room right down the street and that was how both players broke. This was with the big bar cueball.
There is a danger of losing the ball - especially the big ball. If that happens it's bye bye that game.
At times she spent more time around the pool room then I did. She was a good player but never even picks up a cue now. She used to play with Danny and he would show her stuff so she remembers better. She is also younger then me and has a better memory anyway. We watched the video of Danny and Crane the other night, we had seen it before.You are a lucky man
Your wife obviously loves pool to remember that
Now 45 is the number to beat?
They have to do it in sets of 5 for a total of 45 each set.
I have $25 in my pocket, let's see if they'll do $5 a set, should be some cheap entertainment!
Watching pros up close is much better than going to the movie theater.
I have DVD's of pros making 50+ on my website. You want to see how it's done, okay.I have $25 in my pocket, let's see if they'll do $5 a set, should be some cheap entertainment!
Very interesting. Does that seem to work for you?
No.
Cool, will check it out, love watching some 1P.
John Schmidt claims to have made 72 in five racks (that would be all 14's and 15's) and Babe Cranfield claimed to have run 768 in Straight Pool and I claim that I walked on the Moon. When I hear stuff like this it makes me question Schmidts 626 even more.
This is like that joke...12$ for a steak dinner? 11$ is too much for that, Ii don't know if it is worth 10$.
Did Nick Varner take ball in hand or play from where the cue ball lay when you recorded these stats?
Varner only got ball in hand behind the line when he scratched. Otherwise it was played from the leave. He played that the scratch did not end his turn, but did cost a ball.
Jay is exactly right about everything in his post! And he and Grady were not best friends-but Jay is honest & says it how it was. Grady was the best at a mediocre shot.
