12 sq....AKA 144, LLL, and GC, thanks for your support. Tom

Jerry, Good eye! I saw that shot too and tried it last night after setting up my infamous two rail shot. I couldn't get it to work but the idea is ingenious. Tom

Well, not to belabor the cans and can nots with my shot choice but when setting up the situation as closely as I can,given the various photos available, I was able to execute to shot. Did I set them up precisely as they were in the photos? In all likelihood, no. How could I? No one could. Now...

Thank you Bill, Hooking the cue ball on the 10 works well as long as you can keep the 3 ball from laying on the foot rail. Otherwise you may end up in trouble with this shot. Tom

Hey Mike, I have two options for you or anyone else who's in the same boat as you. First, I can do a special order for you but it requires 3 more special orders so there will likely be a delay in shipping. The company I'm dealing with require 6 shirts ordered. I have two special orders on back...

So Bill, Why do you think the opponent will play off the 10 ball? To get the cue ball behind the 10 the 3 will likely end up along the foot rail. Playing the 3 into the 11 will likely push both balls toward the middle of the foot rail unless it's hit perfectly. Great shot if he can pull it off...

Beatle, where do you see where I said I'm sending the cue ball to the side rail? Getting the one ball to the side rail should not be a problem as I see it. Stun the cue ball, use right hand english to flatten the one and send it three or four cushions to the side rail and hide it with the...

Two rail the one ball. Stop the rock. When playing the two rail shot, keep the one ball off the back rail. Leave it along your side rail attempting to hide it behind the three. If successful, there will be no angle to move the 11 out. Tom

HI Carla, Thanks for the up vote and congrats on getting your own table. I like Freddy's book too. Yep, great stories in there. Tom

Hi Seb, thank you for your kind words. The experience of going to your beautiful, home town, and working with you on your One Pocket game is not something I will ever forget. Meeting you and your lovely family and the hospitality you all showed me has provided many pleasant stories which I...

Thank you Evergruven for posting your kind thread endorsing my book. It was a welcome site. And thanks also to GoldCrown and Larry AKA (lll). You have always been there supporting and promoting me. You two are true friends. Thank you Bill, AKA (Vapros) I appreciate that you always seem to be...

Thank you Jeff Sparks for suggesting the carom on the eight ball. From the images provided this shot appears to be a high percentage play with natural position on the cross corner bank. As appealing as the straight back on the thirteen is, I would pass on it because if that shot is missed then...

I like this shot too, Bill. This shot can also be played very aggressively by shooting the five directly towards the nine and drawing the cue ball back to the side rail using the eleven as a blocker. Who knows, the various caroms which will take place may just send a ball into your pocket. I can...

Happy Belated, Donn.
