F. Flintstone vs. B. Rubble 3069 B.C. Bedrock Open

[Cowboy Dennis]

It's the first game and Fred is down 2 balls to 4. It's Freds shot. What would you do?

 

[timdog24]

I like banking the 14 ball (I think) with low left towards the 5/2 and sending the cue ball to the the top left corner.

 

[androd]

Tim and I like the same shot for Yaba Daba boy.
Rod.
PS; Our results may be better than depicted.]

 

[Frank Almanza]

I would try to keep Barney in trouble by doing this.

i like franks shot . easy to execute
you would have to be pretty jacked up it seems to me to get enough low left on the q for tims and rods shot with the q being so close to the rail

Once again for me,I think It's a big guess If you can draw away from those two balls.Looks like there might be to much angle and If you miss the bank and hit those balls your dead ain't ya? Unless you don't try to make the bank and just make sure you get up table? John B.

I think I would shoot Franks shot by banking the 10 over to my side but play to skim off of that 15 ball with the cball and go down table by the pocket.
Puts the 15 over to my side too. John B.

It looks like it's laying ok for that but if not you can do almost the same thing by hitting the stripe a bit fuller and running the cue ball through the stripe and take it directly to the long rail. For me the main thing is to keep him from doing anything with the two ball.

 

[SJDinPHX]

In the first overview, I like 2 railing the 10 ball, toward my hole, (aiming at the 4,11,6) and loaded up with LH english. The cue ball should wind up about the middle of the end rail (maybe frozen ...You can shoot it fairly firm, as not a lot can go wrong...The shot would ideally break up the balls clustered by my hole, and put Barney in serious trouble...

The overhead shot, makes it look a little tougher, (which is not unusual)... but I still like the shot.

Hilarious. How did I miss that match?

 

[treeMan]

Hitting the left stripe straight-on and following it to the long rail, three railing the OB back to the same area it started from will give similar results. I think that's what I'd try to do.

Well, it was held at the Loyal Order Of Water Buffalos Lodge so there's a chance it wasn't live-streamed .

Treeman, We try to humor Dennis, he is not normal...Just so you know, I used to give both Barney and Fred 10/5 and the break...

Yeah John, that's the deal. Control the CB and make sure you don't 2 rail the bank. If the angle's not there to hit the balls below, then hit the ones above as SJD suggested.

Yes, we know that Dick. Here's a pic of Fred & Barney trying to decide whether or not to also accept one free foul per game.

 

[Miller]

more good stuff on here.

i like the barber's shot also.

Actually John I would like to leave the 15 ball where it is and use it as a shield for the six ball. If he has access to the six ball he might find a way to clear your side of the table. I think protecting the 6 ball and the 2 ball is very important here.

 

[vapros]

I believe I want to leave the CB uptable, on my side, and as close to a rail as possible. So, I will two-rail the five out of Barney's corner, sending the CB to the long rail and then across to my side. Barney won't like it a bit.
