    Simple wwyd

    For me, the 1ball is too close to the foot rail for me to take a swing at it. It's got a good ways to travel to the pocket, so that adds difficulty. The other possible problem is that unless the 1ball is made or left in the jaws, there's a real possibility of leaving a return cross corner for...

    As Buddy Hall used to say, "The luck in one-pocket isn't as critical because there's more "play" in the game.

    Fedor/Filler All around challenge in the works

    I've heard that legendary story for years, but I never really believed it. A feat lie that was so far beyond what anyone else had done, including the top players, that it's difficult to believe. Evidently no one was there who saw Euphemia's alleged run from start to finish, nor did anyone...

    Whitey, in your example 4 balls would never remain in the kitchen to have 2 balls added to it. But you were trying to illustrate a point. That is, that when 4 balls are in the kitchen, they all spot up on the foot spot. Good info.

    Anyone know Fedor's immigrant status? Seems like he's been in the U.S. for quite awhile, so maybe he has a green card.

    That must be a tremendous aggravation. I see that, although there's no cure, it is treatable: https://www.aad.org/public/diseases/a-z/hidradenitis-suppurativa-treatment

    Good post by Tony. I can't imagine what illness he's referring to, but I noticed he didn't say, so he may not want the attention.
