Intriguiging question
This is an intriguiging question. Does anybody know how the balls laid on the table? Maybe a diagram on the pool table thingy.
I can flake out after a 3 ball run! Keeping motivated and mentally sharp is the toughest part of the game once you have mastery of it.

In "Willie's Game" he reminisces a bit about the run. He openly admits that
he did, indeed, miss.
The local Springfield newspaper article describes the shot as a long cut.
It seems he was guilty of what Lassiter considered pool's worst sin.
He overcut the ball.

The 2 stories I heard -
1. He didn't miss. He was simply tired and stopped the run.
2. He overcut a long 14 ball shot to the corner.

Probably should have used TOI :thumbup:
Because he made ball #526. Had he not made ball #526 he never would have missed ball #527. The same holds true for ball #1 thru ball #525. Had the balls not been numbered at all, I don't think it would have mattered as much.
There you go. Clear as mothers milk.

Does this explain why the domestication of the cat was never completed?
Domesticating the cat. Quite the dilemma, eh Bob?
It brings to mind another conundrum. One that has puzzled mankind for thousands of years.
How do you get snot out of corduroy? :smile:
I favor a long soak in lime juice. With a little TOI.
This just shows how insidious cats truly are. They've domesticated us to the point that we stopped trying the same thing on them.
But now that I've revealed the secret, my cats are going to kill me tonight by sleeping on my face.
As dead as this horse is, it's better than threads about Bonus Ball.
He needed a LD shaft to go with those, and a fancy glove.
It's also better entertainment than bonus ball
Apparently Bonus Ball is to pool as Microsoft is to computers. You can't mention the name without someone making a crack about them.
