I agree. But I don't think the majority of us are going to go around critiquing an obvious recreational player's form. In fact, I'd say a lot of the people posting here are guilty of the things they're mentioning at some time or another and that's why it sticks out so clearly in their minds. And that very much includes me.
Critiquing anyone’s game has always been a No No for me. Even when someone asks advice I get a bad feeling about giving it..
One day at Chris’s a guy I did not know asked to shoot some. Why not, let’s play.
I win the very first game and this Nit tells me I played the run out incorrectly. So I decide to ask him what I did wrong. He makes this stupid comment regarding what he thought I did wrong.
I turn my back on him and think, you imbecile you’re racking. So I decide to bring out my A game and teach him a lesson in humility.
We go from 8 ball to 9 ball then to 10 ball. He lost every single game for two straight hours. Buddy was watching the whole time knowing what I was doing.
Finally I got tired of thrashing his ass and pulled up saying I had to go.
About two weeks later in walks Bob again. I am doing some drills alone on a Diamond and he spots me. Hey Bob how you doing you want to shoot some, I ask?
He looks like oh shit it’s him and says no thanks I’m good. I follow that up with yeah I bet you are. He gets a rack of balls and goes into one of the back rooms not to be seen again.
Buddy looks down smiling and says yeah he’s good!!
Hopefully he learned a lesson that day and does not go around pretending he can play or even knows how to play.
He pissed me off!! He lost and wants to tell me what I did wrong. Then he lost for two hours straight!!!
Nits….
