Sounds like more focus on the shots would help in that situation. I don't pay any attention to what others do when I play.

I like this shot but with this idea but instead of the straight kick on the 2 cut the 9 over there and stun/tiny draw the cue ball over behind the 8 and 13 cluster using the angle of the cut on the 9.

Cut the 1 in the side and bring the cue ball back very close to where it is, with a good result the 1 spots and covers up the cue ball.

Sad news, I'll miss him,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Oh yeah I've seen and done it in 8 ball, works like a champ until the guy realizes he's killing his own soldiers by getting them out of my way.

Never heard of "picking balls off the table after the break in 1 pocket", that just seems weird.

I think possibly the match was Frost vs Joyner, both players owed double digits at one time,,,,,,,

Best wishes to John and family, he's one of the good guys.

I don't like the play personally, but under any rules I ever heard of it is simply an intentional foul.

Well hell, somebody needs to take him fishing,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Well looks like shorter races is the answer then.

Well yea but part of that is TD's scheduling the championship match at 1am. Noon or so the next day would get it done.

Yea probably, I dunno what the answer is, or really if we even need one, I'm old school and I love one pocket the way I learned it, pretty much ok with make it take it on the break as well.

You don't think professional players can manage a clock and fouls without a 3rd party? Who does it now?

I just think that if you start saying matches can take 3 hours, they probably will.

Well I get that, but you could keep the 40 second shot clock say with 2 20 second extensions allowed per game to keep someone from slow playing. I mean, if a guy gets well behind in a match with any time restriction of any kind then at some point he's gonna have to start swinging, kinda like a 2...

Well, I wonder then if maybe put a match time total on the entire set, 2 hours, 3 hours or whatever, most games ahead at the end of time wins, use total balls in the event of tied games total for a tiebreaker? Time runs out, score 2-2 going to 3, one player is ahead 5 balls to 2 he wins.

Well now, if the average game last 20-30 minutes how in the world is a 60 minute game clock gonna speed anything up? I mean if people are in a hurry one pocket may not be the best choice for them.

I see shot clocks used in video's all the time,,,,,, what am I missing?

Especially when he has Danny Dilberto to argue with,,,,,,,,
