you vs him again #3278

Shoot 1 ball into 2 ball, knocking them up to endrail by my side. Draw cueball back to bottom rail by the 1/2 diamond

just a question to those that watched johnny play
did he always finish his stroke off to the side he was trying to "steer" the shot??
i was surprised watching his mechanics
but as they say
talent and a million balls gets you not to miss and play shape....
just think how good he could have been with good mechanics.........
just askin

1 into the 14, move some balls over. QB draw two rail back to the foot rail.

I'd roll whitey forward and leave em on the low side of the eight on the rail, so he has only the eight or the 8/twelve to look at, everything right now is lined up for Erv'...

i know my last few wwyd werent very exciting....
but i think end game decisions are the ones one learns later than sooner
so for the lurkers and newbees i try to show some shots that have principles to learn
this one is a great example
i was playing with tom when a situation came up
i wasnt sure what to do
im always thinking get a ball to my side get a threat and hide the cue ball
he said to me whats a trap?
i said when your opponent cant see anything (and you have a threat by your pocket)
he said if your opponent cant see anything and you force him to move a favorable ball for him for you thats a good shot
im para phrasing tom correct my misunderstandings please

Larry, Do you remember what I told you about players making subconscious adjustments for the flaws in their strokes? J.E. is one example of that premise.

I always remember Grady saying, ''most great players have shot at least two million balls''.
