This might be a bad example to use, Stroud also advocating shooting the 2 ball from here to which someone should've asked "what's the hurry".

Bill, all of your points are valid and correct. I'm still shooting the 10.

I was thinking about this bet too and would try it against anyone on the forum, I get the first shot to win the game shooting the 10, if I miss then we continue the game to see who wins. If I sell out the bank and they make the hanger and the bank then they need 2 and I still need 1 which I might not like too much. You could play this by the game obviously, no odds with me, any takers?
P.S. I play about Dippy's speed.
I also shot the 10 ball shot last night...at my friend's house who has a Gold Crown with 4-1/4" pockets, and pretty new fast cloth (note to Freddy & other Chicago guys who know him - this was at Errol's house)...
I shot it 6 times, and that was enough for me as a quick experiment....well, my experiment turned out in favor of the 10 ball shooters...
I hope this doesn't lose me any action but maybe I shoot straighter than I thought - I made it 3 times out of the 6 tries (twice in the middle of the pocket without touching the pocket corners on the way in ) - I made it on my 1st, 3rd, and 5th tries - on all three of my misses I undercutted it, into the long rail......I left a bank on one of my three misses.

I will take the hit and 2 picks!
Sorry to disappoint you Lenny, but the Ghost is a little harder to trap than SJDuck and Grady......
...the Ghost knows your speed, and doesn't overestimate his own - you get 10-8...:heh....

Sorry Ghoats...Lenny is not as dumb as he looks...I have taught him not to mess with people, who won't bet
enough money to burn a "dry parakeet" (think Ghoats) and concentrate on people who have enough money to burn
a "wet water buffalo" (think Duck)...Why do you think he's always firing at me ?..He knows...I ain't no shoeshine boy..
