    Intentional foul jumping cue ball off table

    Wdcfd?

    What Did Chicago Fats Do? Some of the boys were asking me to show them a shot yesterday I pulled on a one-ball-left game. I figured if I was going to spend time making an image I might as well post a thread. I was playing a local tough player named Sergio. You all know I don't like a game...
