Variety is the Spice of Life:
Puppy Pad with the Raised Leg. Left cue ball gets the 9 ball pad race to 10 one handed. Then the 1 ball pad discard first cue ball and use right cue ball to 1 ball pad. Race to 8 Mosconi style. Then discard that cue ball and take the snooker to 6. Go!
Lefty took right to it with a 3 and deuces to get to 10 first by the narrow margin 10-9. Right scoring a 4 when 5 would have tied it. The cue ball was oh so close to staying on the pad for the 5.
Oha yes, sorry I was late. Doing the taxes this morning. Whew good news.

Right hand took the Mosconi to the 1 ball pad with the final double. On the left is the final one handed effort in the one handed. 3 for 9 ball in hole and 1 for over the pad. Just barely rocked off the pad.
To 6 on the 6 ball pad should be over quick with Snooker Style.
Lefty stealing with a 5 point shot. Now we celebrate. It was good competition.
Stop all this gimmicky nonsense and work on shot making, cueball control, kicking, and safety play. Set up the same shot over and over again until you hit it with ease.
There is no point in you putting in all this work and effort only to be an average pool player.
Get your FargoRate over 600. Then things get interesting. Over 680 and things get REALLY interesting

I'm
maybe.
No seriously, if you are implying that I am an average player. .....let's get it on! Oky Fargo bumped 630 for a week. Hung at 625-620 range for a year after some good finish in the Northwest BCA events in Lincoln City. So yes 650-690 is an interesting range. Players that can bring down big games. In short Race, one miss could be all you get. If that
As to the work. Perhaps the thread title is dated.
Fitness Program is where evolution has taken this thread. My fitness program has degrees of repetitive actions for the physical maintenance and even rehab. Both physical and mental therapy. Glad I didn't have to itemize my deduction.
Today's program......Hmm perhaps The Church Of would be an appropriate title.
In honor of Target Pool. It will be interesting to see how long the puppy pads target with the 10-8-6 format takes. Ready set go. Oh yeah uh wait. just hit the rack and all balls score? Possible but just the touch with all 3 still in holes.....a big number. So....white must finish on one of the 3 head string pads.
Edit: Rules revision Whitey over any pad is the starter and all points score thereafter.
My Fargo is way low at mid 500's. Ya wanna play some? Just kidding

Well it didn't take long to find the break. Second ball from wing break pad set. Leaving the head ball in the hole....so 2 rails out of the corner gets the white in the hunt for a pad. However the fingers got too cold. So the program has me posting while doing squats in front of the little tiny heater.
Ok Lefty gets competition points. Missed but came into the back of the rack and finished with white over the pad. 1 point. Alternate shot. Is the rules committee decided.
Oh Kay.. the one handed is bogging so more competition points option for pocketed ball. Giving lucky Lefty 2 . Finger time out again.
Finger time out again.
Whitey cross a break pad = 1 competition point for Right. 1-2. Could be a final score, well there's a time limit.
The evidence? Or perhaps Trophy. Lefty wins the one handed to 10 with this 4 point shot.
Now for the Mosconi to 8.
Now for the Mosconi to 8.
The Right makes a case for the back door kick with a 5 point shot to close the Mosconi. Hope the Snooker is quick as the sun's coming up

Mark Williams back door break caused a stir for a while. My challenge has provided an interesting option. So the slow kick off the back rail and finish with all 3 in holes and touching cue ball would be worth a name. The Easter Basket? All eggs in one basket? Oh well it will get a little time every day now as it has been fun.

Had to create another trophy.
One handed, no chak over the ball, for a first 9 point shot. 3 for the kiss and 3 for each hole. So ends the race to 10. Leave the evidence and Mosconi to 8 on the 6 ball pad.
Almost forgot.... Right hand gets the trophy

Another video, can't remember now but should be self explained.
Retorical question : Why The Puppy Pad Training?
Well the therapy of the gradual transition from upright to prone shooting position.
The upright one handed provides the rehab my left shoulder needs. It also stresses the foundation.
Blowing in the wind is a feeling I get waving the tip around over the ball one handed. My solution is strengthen the structure, Locking in at key points.
As to strengthen my pool game. Well here's "the puddin' ".
The one is one handed and 8 points. The 5 is Mosconi style and 9 points. The 11 is prone position and 8 points. Sooooooo, the 25 out of 27 possible finish, should be a long standing record.
Edit: I have no recollection of which hand did which shot. It was a team effort.

Just figured out it's time to rest on the Laurels. Yesterday's quick transplant of the big ass bush, gave a good workout.
Too damn early for a beer to celebrate. I do however have V8 juice......
I am of feeling...... just leave those balls sit like that, for a while.
