Oh the Heartbreakers! Lefties first attempt. Followingthe shadowline but needs a little sauce. 1/8 inch but no touch.......whew.
Practice practice practice
- Thread starter gregcantrall
- Start date
Break time! The 2 railer is providing adequate physical therapy. The body position taking Lefty to the aches and hopefully mild discomfort.
Finding my balance: committee's rules allow adjustment of the cueball alien pad for the best crotch shot. 
Off we go!
Off we go!
My Swing Thought O the day.......Zorroplucking the button from the shirt. Well that precision to the tip to the ball. So far 2 pointers. Lefty service 2-4.
Right finally lays in a 5 and makes the race to 9. So Lefty finds a 2 or more to the red stripe 11. Hmmmmm
Oh yeah 2 serving 9. Yuck
Oh yeah 2 serving 9. Yuck
With 23-15 lead Right closed station 2 with a 6. A very interesting Challenge going to the side rail past the 15 at about the 3rd diamond, then come back door to the red stripe 11.
Lefty insisted on a Trophy photo. 9 points to the 15 on the King pad.
With final score of Right 26 and Lefty 24. Concession allowed. ☺
Wait wait wait that's a 12 point shot for a 27 26 victory! Whoopee.

The baby step to the red stripe 11 went well. A quick 12-5 lead by Right gives Lucky Lefty the lead to the purple stripe 12. HmmmmLefty wants to try 4 rails with the cue on the line to rail 3. Off we go....
Well 3 was the shot and after a brief skirmish Lefty closed the station with an 8, taking a 16-12 lead negotiation leads to a race to 8 per station to move on to 3 rails or more to the orange stripe 13 on the King pad. Hmmmmmm
Oh Darn! I was just having fun.
Was about to declare unobtainable after experiment with all flavors(almost). Going to the side rail and just miss the 12 ball Trophy to hit the end rail as close as possible to the pocket. My results were leaning to my cueball pad as the shortest I could attain after the 3 rails. And then Lucky Lefty hit one that missed on the Other Side! Grrr, now he can't remember......
Lefty finally got it. Dead center but hard 4 to send the score......20-12 yep it calls for a Senior time out. ☺
Edit: That definitely gets the secret sauce. Literal Lefty figures the best way to keep it secret is to forget it. Again Grrrrr.

Again Grrrrr.
Got it Again, another 4, 12 service 24.
...........
Finally Right scores a 5 and conceded. What a workout.

More wisdom from Barry Stark. Whoopee!
Gotta have Soul:
Can't link the youtube soul. It's the Mood O the day.
Teachin or Learnin?:The Father and Son. Just gotta include the Whole E ghost.
My morning personal lesson is......tension. Where it hazard the accuracy is first in the fingers. So milking the cow is a good practice for me. The cows so appreciate it if you do it right. Shrug
The tension in the big muscles can effect my endurance so my stretch and flex is a part of the Dance. Nice to have my own personal studio to practice my best moves. Never know when Grampa might want to "Busta Move".

I'll be Gosh Darnit. Right just scored 3 to the 15 on the King pad. Just when I was thinking Unobtainium.
This should keep me amused for a good workout. Might even learn something.

The Balance or quick snap the picture.
The cue illustration of inital path to accomplish the long cocked hat to the 15. With loose rubber on the side rail near the middle pocket makes this an equipment specific situation.
Story with a uh lesson (or 2) starting with daily balance work. Both physical and mental. Took a while to get the cue to stay.
Oh yeah, the story about.....Sometimes a bad rail is a good rail. At The Hilltop in Redding CA there was a weekly tournament on 7' Valley tables. A real Master of the bar box, first checks the rails.
The foot rail had loose rubber extraordinary. The technique of grabbing the rails as you squat to access the ball tray was suspected as cause as the loosen fit the width of same. Anyway it was a giggle to watch a road player grade shooter come in and play without rail check. The loose rubber created a backward result to spin. So running english to a natural 3 rail shape became . .....some funny stuff.
I think that's it. Just reliving the moment gives me the giggles.
Oops almost forgot the Brag. A close inspection of the photo will reveal a Maximum to the 2 rail target 1 ball. Two rails out of the near corner leaves both in a hole and kissing. Right yeah Right did it. Whoop E!

Lefty came up with a better challenge as we know the 4 railer and hit for 4 points both. So Go the Other Way is Not Gay Out of the other corner come up short of the side to cross to the other side just beyond the pocket to back door the 15.
With the 1 ball trophy at risk. No worries as I can put them back exactly as they are. So fire away.

It took that long for Right to find the closer.
5 for the rails
2 for 15 on the pad
1 for white over the pad.
Kind of surprised myself
Must be break time.
