Define "pure," please. And if you can do that, why is pure good? Define "clean," while you're at it.
What I believe is the most pure form of pool

See anything?
Why is that notion incorrect? It's an observation on the way big snooker is demonstrated. Your post is incorrect.
Thank y'all for most of the replies, in closing I would add that on a diamond table (pro spec) against another top bank player I have learned to break safe. The break I saw most of the top players choosing (in bfull rack bank) was a variation of the opening break in 14.1, so again to those who might believe that the rack matters - it does not. Just as John Brumback stated, they can throw em up there any way they so choose, the cue ball will end up residing near the bottom cushion. if many disperse on opening break (possibly due to a loose rack) - it will not matter, they will still end up having to bank the first ball - near or frozen to bottom cushion. I still believe that bank is the most pure discipline, not as creative as One Pocket or 3 cushion - but more pure - definitely. If anyone chooses to disagree - so be it, as u can lead a horse to water in all that. So again - in a full rack bank pool event event - the rack will never come into play - no arguing over the rack - that we see in 9 ball and one pocket (rack dominated disciplines) full rack banks is the most Pure discipline of all in Billiards.

that is a good run, I play sum bank in Kentucky some day. Not looking to play Brumback but any one else - maybe so. Good Day
this is coming from the guy who stated he would play anyone One Pocket - who had posted in the no Smoking pool room's thread (as I had posted in the thread). As it turned out - u clearly were mistaken. When I pm you bout coming to philly to try u in some One Pocket - you decided to change yer theory bout playing me. It must have sounded good at the time - but once reality set in (or what yer backer told u) u lost some of your courage. Stay brave philly - stay brave.
7 pages long - must have not been as boring as u thawt'. u were a bit green around the gills.
to run 37 in banks (Knoxville Bear) - is an even greater accomplishment.
I really wish that someone would send a top player through Springfield, MO to try me sum Bank (full rack). I would play, the action is tough and they cannot win much - but - again I will play. I have no big government sponsors - just think I can compete with the best - and possibly get a W here or there is all.
if u would have read the whole thread - u might have had a clue - pure also - means u back up what u say - as I do and always have.
By back up I assume you mean the constant post editing?

I'm a 14.1 guy but most are gone. Cut teeth on straight pool 60's, 90's. Was sooo relaxing unlike 9 or 8 ball. 3 cushion now there's a gentleman's
game. Not for my pea brain.
Learning 3 cushion - will really help in Bump Pool. Or at least it did for me, still working at the details.

I no have moto - but can bet real high wit u in bar box 8 ball( I assume yer a bar box biker lol). U may find I have a plethora of luck - enough to even handle the most skilled motorhead. Or u may find yer all 8 up.
Why not bet real high with shaw? Why tough talk randoms on the internet,
What a chump
No biker. I think between your legs is the dumbest place to put more than one horsepower. But back to pool, Biker 8 ball is the most inane billiards practice I've come across. I kinda understand these guys aren't poolers and the "honor" of what they believe is no slop and pure skill but obviously those ethics encompass only a minuscule portion of pool. I see bank pool as the pro version of that ethic.
So AGAIN - for anyone who believes that THE RACK CAN BE ALTERED in negative way for FULL RACK BANK - they are mistaken and should reserve their limited knowledge on the subject of bank pool - for their inept facebook friendz. The rack in full rack bank is incorruptible, it is this facet IMHO that reserves Bank Pool as the most Pure form of Pocket billiards - particularly in regards to 1 ball having to be always pocketed/banked clean as the irish spring and AGAIN in the the racking of Opening break - the scoundrels of the game will steer away from bank pool - due to the fact they cannot give a bad rack and upset opponent i.e coward shark tactics. Simply put the cowards of pool stay away from banks as it is tougher to pull moves on the racking end, plus they cannot argue on whether or not a ball went clean etc.

On a blue label diamond with fast cushions - and facings - I prefer safety break. Also when practicing against another - I prefer to play ball in hand after every missed bank. Then a player can focus on not only making the bank but also position play.
Yer post are often times off subject and uh little rude - u know not much except rude statements and coward suggestions. come to MO and u will find out how comical I am crooked liner. bring yer wizard too - I have a horse that will win against him as well.No biker.
