Looking for opinions.
For a long time, it has been said, “don’t play position for the side pockets.” Or at least a version of that. Maybe more accurate is, “only play position for side pockets, when you are certain of good position.”
This seems to be more true on slower tables and softer rails than it does on a Diamond, where moving the cue ball is easier. What are some opinions of playing position for side pockets?
Is this a common strategy? Do players these days even concern themselves with side pockets?
Mostly curious.
