Interesting. How would this compare to typical ball spots? Is this a bigger spot than 9-7 or 10 - 6?
Okay this is where I'm confused... I'm GETTING the spot... Do you and your opponent always start at 8 when playing Hit and Pick..?
Is this how it works..?
Hit and Pick 1=8/7
Hit and Pick 2=8/6
Hit and Pick 3=8/5
Spotting at Red Shoes almost always takes the form of "hit and pick. One hit and the pick is approx. 8-6 (depending how how good the guy breaks). Two hit and the pick is approx. 10-6 (again depending on how good he breaks). The reason it goes to 10 instead of 9....Your opponent can break "bad" getting to pick one...."two" never (unless he scratches). Also it is a good idea to make him "switch sides" on every break. Because your opponent is "putting his hand on the table"....each ball is worth more than ONE.
That's an excellent assessment of the value of 1 hit and the pick. I always felt, based off of how I fared playing that game that it was worth 10 to 7, but 8 to 6 is close as well.

I guess I was off a little bit, it's been a long time. I was thinking of the last guy I barely beat giving him 9-7 (John McCue) and how I felt that 1 hit & the pick would've been even better for me. Guess not.

An interesting thing happened the other night when I gave a guy the hit and the pick, he broke bad and made a ball in my hole. He wanted to take my ball as his pick but I said that it had to be a ball on the table which I believe is right.
Way to go Freddy..Excellent brag, well disguised !!...Oh, I'm sorry, was that you Denise ? ...Its getting hard to tell your posts, from your 'rust belt homie's'. (is your part time job, on an Italian cruise ship ???)
Also "if" the kid had a ball in his jaws and the "pharmacist" made it for him IT SPOTTED and did not count for him.
