Well on Tuesday I cam close to running a table out at the Vikings despite my opponent thinking I was just playing slow.
The fact was he gave me no time on the table in the first and I was determined to return the favour in the second. He scored 16K + 2 8K + breaks in the first to my 200 ish
In the second I scored 7K+ to his 100ish
I couldn't figure the split shot out as it kept missing the 100 or the pockets at the bottom on just about every one but despite this I kept getting the break back and kept going and I must say I was delighted with how I just kept on scoring depsite the balls being all over the place as usually I miss very quick when this happens.
The fact of the matter is if I take my time I can score 7K plus breaks but it takes me in excess of 12 minutes (absolutely no good if my opponent goes in with 5 or more) to do so and more if I can't figure the split of break out as I only play once a week. If I try and go quick I miss its that simpe so a steady pace is my best chance of getting a decent score.
Some may consider it so play but at the end of the day this game is about scoring points in one go and I can't do at pace so its not worth even trying.
