So, it's a fire fight. Toe to toe in the center of the ring, swing at will.
I believe that at one time or another we have all been involved in one of these.
But what is the psychology for a match turning into a game like this? Does one guy just believe they can out shoot the other guy? That they can run more balls? That the other guy will repeatedly fail "the blood test?" That they've detected a hitch in the other guy's stroke? That they just don't care about the bet (or their backer's money)?
What makes a player go this way? DS is not inventing a new style of 1pocket because we've all done it -- attack, attack, attack, and let the other guy either make the tough shot or sell out. Did DS just feel he could out shoot CG?
