Shot of the Tournament?

[rackmsuckr]

I haven't been visiting here too much lately, making a living just gets in the way!

I did want to report that I took 2nd again against Kyoko, with the same puky score of 9-3. I actually should have had her 4-0 but had terrible focus (I was trying to practice smoothing out my stroke from the last video, lol) and made REALLY stupid errors on the 8 to the 9. Easy Peezy outs and I blew them!!!! My whole goal was to get to 4!

Anyway, I did have a great shot (witnessed by Dan Louie and Mr. J. ) in the semi-finals against Tamre' Geene Rogers, the tour coordinator. Tamre' had a great tournament and she was playing well.

She hid me on the 5 diagrammed on this cuetable drawing. My initial thought was to do a slight masse' around the 7 and hit the 5, but the 7 was so far out that I had the chance to hit the 7 or the 8.

My next idea was to shoot straight down to the end rail with a lot of left and either hit the 5 from behind or hit the rail first behind it, which got me to thinking.....how about I hit it from behind on the 3-railer?

So I went down to that end, measured up where I would need to hit off the rail in line with Pocket B. (Sorry, don't know how to use the arrows on the Cuetable. )

Hit with just the right amount of speed and english to deliver the ball into the hole and enabled me to win the game...and eventually the match!

Hi Linda

Did you really do this? My hat is off to you

Page 2 shows another possibility, although it won't be as dramatic as your shot...

CueTable Help

To start/stop drawing a line, simply "double-click" on the ball you want to draw from. "single-click" to add a point

Thanks for the help again. I know you keep trying to show me. Yes, that was the shot, except I shot more toward the side pocket, almost on the tit.

Yes, I am getting over my jitters now and she is in my headlights...or maybe my rear view mirror, lol. Anyway, what I really need to do is shoot every day 8 hours for like a year and then maybe I would shoot that well.
