I am with ha.
I kick a lot of balls in, I just can't predict which one or where...

I'm better than everyone if I just bank everything
If I make them that is

Anyone ever make a blind shot?

Other than straight pool breaks, I can count on one hand the number of times a month not having to call a pocket would make any difference at all. Once you progress beyond "banger" status, how many balls are you really missing so badly and shooting so hard that they end up in random pockets?
When you get better and have more control. you will like called shot much better.
And may I add. You will not get better unless you play called shot.
You are a wise man.
Call nothing. No other sport on the planet does. Don't call the 8-ball either. Makes our short games more fun and more skilled.

As expected, you got quite a few smart-ass comments, some clever, some just down right stupid.
The fact One Pocket does not require calling shots has already been noted.
But consider - pool players and fans lust after the money, status, and popularity of Snooker.
In Snooker, you NEVER have to call a shot.

Wow, it's been almost 6 hrs in a thread about slop and I still don't see it.....
amazing.....
amazing.....
One of the things that drives me nuts about pool, is that there is already so much luck involved.
That is why I prefer 10 ball much more than 9 ball. Yes...1 pocket has less luck but I do enjoy rotation games...because it is fun to move the ball around the table...for me anyway.
How can a competitive person enjoy playing a game in which slops are allowed, more than a game in which slops are not allowed?
I just don't get it!

Once again. the better I am playing the luckier (better rolls) I get. Why do think that is that better players are luckier? The guys that want to play for slop just whine and whine.
Great pic!
OP: To hell with slop!
You have obviously never slopped in 9 balls in a row, to win a hill-hill game in a set of 9ball.
Some people might call that luck, but it takes a lot of skill to get that lucky.
I also won 7 out of 8 sets one night, ramming the 9 on every shot, and there was more money won on side bets the I won myself.
Money can't buy that kind of entertainment, and years later people are still talking about it.
