Well you got me with New London. Hmmmm
I was calling The Cocked Hat the Top Hat. Must be the meds.
Sunday Fun day: Chalk is allowed.
Stephen Hendry mentioned the Lineup as his favorite practice.
So my Funday Buffet.
Noticed the opening Left from a right handed player. Hmmmmmm

Self Taught: Well it all boils back to that in the end. Cliff Thorburn speaking of learning from varied sources. Then regrets not knowing sooner that Stephen's last look is the white.
My morning opener Delta start will help cement that. Funny thing though I have cut my time in half. Complete the circuit in record time.
Wandering alert; The record thought brought back my favorite broken record. In Basic training we ran an obstacle course. A 6 minute obstacle course. Our Upperclassman was proud of his 6 minute time(rightfully so) and offered a quart of ice cream to any in our group that could beat his time. I did. Ate the ice cream, in basic training that was pure gold. Oh Yeah then one of his classmates told him they had modified the course to make it faster. Tea He......

It might be knowledge......then again, maybe drivel. 
So if you go out chasing rabbits.

Games? Gallaxians was an early favorite.
My Phase 2 morning therapy. (Pretty sure that makes it tax deductible)
So part of the exercise is
Back to the Basics
And Reps
Don't forget the mental fitness in solutions and creativity. Point value is always negotiable.
4 Alien targets
1 yellow for cueballs
3 object balls
3 cueballs
First required 1 lap around the table and survey......
The computer method mixed with Robotics can be devastating.
Hand crafted targets are available.....Pretty and if you have to ask, "how much?" You can't afford.
So pocket a ball is required to score target points.
The Pinball slash Gallaxians workout.
So if you see me selling the game. Jump on in Ring Game!!! Was the call when I walked in the front door after work. Well In the Beginning. It didn't take long for the look at the watch as I entered.

Home On the Range: Close range is the flavor O the day. Well the cue ball 4" to the first rail. One handed tree topped no chalk. Race to 10....go.
Adjust the crotch but don't scratch the balls. Crotch adjustment, I learned catching baseball with a shared cup.. ...wait, the cue balls crotch. Fair game to adjust the crotch.
Lefty followed proven M O. Laid in the small point shots by locking the angles. Leading 10-1 .....NEED a 4 point shot to close the shooting station.
Perhaps my brief training in pole vault was very helpful.
Right finally lays in a 4 and says, close the station at 5-10.
Now to find a 2 railer to the 14. Hmmmmmm

Memory Road,Using the Diamond system found in Billiards As It Should Be Played. Remember seeing Angles McManus counting while assessment of shot. I have proved it in competition. :Big Grin:
Lefty finally closed that station. 20-13 now.....To find a 3 or more rail shot to the spotted 10 on the King spot of the pad a 5 point spot.
Z-Clown bank. Side side Side. Must hit past the side for rail 2, the knuckle ball works on this equipment.
Right finally hits a 9 point shot for the come from behind.
Self to self-guided uh Mansile. Locking in the platform is requiring strict adherence to the Dance uh program. So the reps only work when disciplined.

Flavor O the day: The Cocked Hat with Special Sauce. 4 rails to the 9. Right hand proved it but.....I can't remember the recipe.
Make that the Cocked Hat Plus. Lefty can hit it dead on but not enough horses. Proving to be fun.
It was the 5 rails that Lefty was coming short on. Lefty provided the winning 6 point shot, with 4 rails.
Saturday 5.27.23
The Form Work. Concrete formwork got me the majority of my retirement income.
The opening position in the Delta formation work, being jacked up one handed treetopped...leads me to strive to get the foundation perfect.
The formwork I did at Hanford Nuclear reservation, was important stuff. Dealing with the waste is no joke.
So the opening shot is not something I expect to encounter....well not exactly. However it's a great feeling in a game when the table presents a similar (yet simpler)challenge.
The balance beam. Perhaps the Crane gives Grampa a balance assessment when taking the elevation to maximum. Planning the fall is the critical part. Watching Cole imprinted the importance in my mind. Taking 2 falls through the lid at 8' doing construction, imprint the importance of the airborne training.

Whew, Lefty finally laid in the station closing 4. A relief to get the bridge hand on the table. Now finding a good 2 rail shot is fun. Historical evidence is that Lefty finds the angles but the Right has more precise volume control and gets the speed first. So Lefty laying in small points often leads to a significant lead. With the Right going for the 10 point shots, quite often leads to the.....oh So close but 0.
I can relate to the boxing training. The left lays in the aggravating 1 point jabs. Until the guard is moved. Then here comes the POWer Right.

Racing the sun to hit the 3 railer indicated by the cue end side end to the 5 (The Orange 5!!!!)
Lefty Surrender, would be the headline. The warming sun on the back side is the engineered part of the workout. Lots of therapeutic reps to the hit for 3 points but the 4 rail teaser keeps the volume too high. Right accumulate a one lap lead. Lefty feigned spastic and disturbs unrepairabley the lay out. After the Right finally gets a 4 point shot.

Barry Stark is putting more knowledge up on YouTube.
Stephen Hendry is hosting Ronnie as well.
I am uploading a brief video demonstration of my current opening exercise. The damage to my left shoulder from the left turn car is a big part of my choice for opening with the elevated one hand. It's a good physical therapy. The bonus is the things that become simple or natural. Starting with the stance. Then the Balance of cue in grip and the body. Then fall through the shot.....not to be confused with a Rabbit Hole....or maybe?
In interest of staying brief, I demonstrated the first 2 forms. Finding a 3 rail or more shot to the dirt color 6 could take some experiments. What fun. Plus I get the reps for Fitness .
So, my first check was for a Cocked Hat variation. 4 rails with 4th beyond the side pocket. Interesting results but no joy. So the Z+ 3 railer, side, side, side was next. Yep it's there and even a chance at 4 if stretched to near the corner for 3rd rail. Well Lefty just pulled a shot out of the rabbit hole.
3 for rails
5 for 6 in the King hole
3 for kissing balls
And 1 for white over the paper.
Funniest is Lefty was down by 11 and Got Lucky.
