I've been putting on a 1P league in my area and it's coming down to me & the local favorite. Anyway, I hit what I thought was the most shrude & well-played shots of my life and it wasn't good enough!
Here's what happened...

I hit the shot perfectly although the ball did not go. I accomplished my secondary goal of not jarring open the 6/8.

I was confident I had put my opponent in absolute JAIL, when he turned around and pulled off a 1-in-a-million acrobatic shot to get right back out of it.

On his next shot, my opponent made the 1, scratching behind it, to put it on the spot with another ball. He effectively eliminated my superior position for the cost of one ball.
