Well Lefty closed the second station with a simple tiki off the near side rail. Still trailing but definitely in range with Right serving 18-11. Will put up an exploration shot of 3 or more to the red stripe 11 on the King pad.

The first exploration was for 3 rails out of the near corner. A shot that Willie Hoppe teaches a calculations system for. A 3 rail test shot so to speak. A first study on new to me equipment. Any how looking like the side pocket is in the way. So back to my old reliable Cocked Hat variation. A little past the side should get it.
Lefty earns the Trophy photo for 1st blood with an 6 point shot 4 rails and both over the pad.
18 service 17 Game On.

Wow! Lefty closed it out with a Maximum.
4 rails
5 hole
3 for the kiss
1 for white over the pad
Lucky 13 for lucky lefty. I would rather be lucky than good.
Gotta humor Lefty with the Trophy.

The shot did make for an interesting study in speed and spin. The left consistently going too long and the Right consistently short on the angle. Interesting in the way the cue ball wants to shorten off the last rail. A demonstration of how side rail to side rail goes from running to check spin on the ball.
Taking the short course today. After closing of Treetops to the red stripe 11 ball.
I found the 2 railer out of the corner to be very interesting. Mainly because of the huge miss in the first attempt. Everything wants to come up short. So looks like Short is The Topic O the Day. Shrug 
Right not so proud of the sloppy 4 points on the 1 ball. Lefty surrender first shot at the 3 railer. Oooops 3 points gives Right a 15-10 lead.
In the spirit of short Right closed the match with a 6 . Time to patrol the grounds.
ReFine: Starting with the line of aim and refining it down to a point. Then launch that point on the line. Pretty simple stuff.
I was never gifted with natural talent. So I learned to put in the time on technique and perform to the formula.
The treetopped therapy is showing physical improvement in the damaged(just bodywork) left shoulder. Lefty opens with a 4 to the ups stripe 15.
The shoulder check that Ronnie put into Ali Carter is a good technique for me. Still dabbling with the falling tree form as well.

Well Right turned it into a goof ball day. Leaving Lefty shaking head in amusement at the handshake.
The cocked hat variation out of the near corner gives 4 rails to the black 8 ball and 9 points.

Fun shot O the day:
After taking a 32-18 lead playing around with the first 2 stations, Right leads the way with a cocked hat variation. Well the by the numbers 3 rail formula is employed as well. Gearing on the cueball is fun to play with. Found the 3 railer but now want to see if a 4th rail just beyond the side is possible. Will require special sauce.
Yep it's there and very rewarding to find it. 
Here comes the sun to change the fun. Must be time to play, uh landscaper. Groundskeeper is my title.

Sloppy Saturday 8.5.23:
Closed the first station (the 12 ball)with a 4. Closed the second (11 ball) with a 5. Each with the object ball remaining in the 3 hole plus the rail points.
The pictured path to the 3 rails to the 15 is a fun challenge.
While I have added the squat to peek to my Routine as physical therapy, it is proving to be effective in establishing the aim point on and through the white.

Well, Right finally scores an 8 by leaving the 15 in the 5 point hole. A total of just over 16 feet covered by the white. At least got a little better trophy Pic.
The pictures show my struggle with the speed. Then I recall all the shots I have seen the Snooker players execute to inch perfect over huge distance.

self to self said:I should work on velocity control a little more.
The Lay O the day, as I listen to the crowing of the roosters
Lefty listened and opening shot result is worthy.......yes that's the white snuggled to the back of the 11 ball.
Lefty Laid an Egg would be the headline , as the white reached the paper but wobbled and fell back. Short!
NO Wait, upon further review by the impartial committee it's Good, because the distance to the 11 ball as the paper is mounted is equal to what I saw from the other end of the table. So the award is 3 for in the hole 1 for the rail and 1 for over the paper. 0 serving 5. Game On. ☺

Lefty closes it finally with a 4. 0 serving 9 going to find 2 or more er to the purple stripe 12. 
The Right used questionable strategy by selecting the 2 rail kick that has Lefty table hooked.....almost. Lefty Scores 4 and Could have had more is the headline The bottom rail to the side to the 12 and.....the Alien pad is backward. A mental error that cost at least 1 point.
Still it's 0 serving uh 13.
Still it's 0 serving uh 13.
Right Finally Fires Back with a 4, plus -1 for previous appeal to review. Anyway 12 serving 4 better have some more.
12 serving 4 better have some more.
Right hits 4 more....12 serving 8.
