Who Has Never Missed A Ball In Hand Shot?

lol. Your absolutely right. This thread should be real short unless we are all liars.
When my buddy asked me to take him to drop off his car at the mechanic and then give him a ride to meet his friends, that was apparently code for you're shooting leagues tonight which I never had done. It was bca. I never new what bih was before but found out quickly how bad it hurts to only make one shot and hook yourself...which is nowhere near as bad as missing trying to give yourself the angle for natural position on the 8...all part of the game, all you can do is smile and keep going
She must have been awful nice Mike! :wink:
I've seen the best players in the world miss with BIH, including EFREN! He just shook his head, smiled and walked slowly back to his chair.
Yes I have as well and it would be so embarassing as to make one furious. Reading all the honesty in this thread makes me feel a part of the community as when reading another thread about many forum members running 10 racks + playing the ghost I thought ... these folks are in a different dimension than me. Thanks all for making me feel human. 
BTW ... 90+% of the misses involve too much concentration on shape IMHO. As the wise old sage has said, "Gotta make the ball you're shooting at to continue." Reminds me of a poker dictum ... F*ck results, concentrate on good decisions!
I missed with ball in hand TWICE in a 10k
It happens, that's for sure, we're all human at times.
I missed with ball in hand TWICE in a 10k set in Barry B's pool room in Norfolk Va. with Shannon Dalton and Roger Griffis betting on me. They looked pretty glum to say the least. Somehow I "kicked in" later in the set after being 8/9 Down and came back and won...."I just got lucky"

You deserve a meddle for your honesty! Missing with ball in hand is easy to do trying to get hard position when you forget to concentrate on making the ball and think more about where the cue ball is going. I've done it and I've seen pro players miss with ball in hand on Accu-stats videos. It happens.......

About 6 months ago I missed a shot with ball in hand and scratched. I have missed with ball in hand plenty of times, scratched with ball in hand a few times but don't know if I had ever done both at the same time before and hope to never do it again lol
