This is something I have been thinking about as a way to match up instead of the normal ball handicaps like 8-7, 8-6, etc.
How about a race to say 50 balls (all balls get shot off the table each game) and the handicap is that each ball pays a different amount for each player? For example, the stronger player may get paid $10/ball and the weaker $15/ball. When one player makes it to 50 balls, you pay out.
One drawback to it that I can see is that if the player getting $10/ball is getting close and will still be a loser when he gets to 50 balls, he will probably stall like crazy...maybe forever.
Has anybody here ever played that kind of handicap? Does it work well or is it a lousy game?
