Speaking of Slop...

[NewStroke]

Does anyone here think it's possible that some things defined as "slop" really is not slop?

There have been occasions where I saw a shot flash through my mind and it still goes even though I ignore it.

Is is possible that some of you have been playing so long that your unconscience mind see some wild 4 rail carom before it consciencely registers and you make the ball without even giving it a second thought?

I'm not saying this happens on every shot, but maybe we aren't giving our brains enough credit.

Just something to think about as you go to sleep tonight.

The saying is good players get good rolls for a reason.

What's that old saying?
"the more I practice and compete the luckier I get"

When I do see a chance that something good can happen if I take a certain shot most of the time I tell myself it's a '2-way' if I get lucky, both ways work.

Slop? to me.. it is still slop.

Good question NewStroke.

As my game has improved, I now find it an absolute fact that the better you play, the better the rolls you get. Some of it is luck, yes, but experience factors in a way to improve the rolls and outcomes.

Dontcha just love to see your opponents sit there and just stew when you get the rolls? That doesn't make me a sadist does it? :grin-square:
