Question for those who like playing the 9-ball games...?

Question

On how many occasions, that you can recall, have you been on the better side of a cruel result, i.e. when your opponent has pocketed the first 8 balls all by himself, but you were the one to pocket the 9-ball - the only one you pocketed - and won that game?

It has happened to me only twice ever. What about you?

Answer 1

I have played a lot of 9 ball and I must say this has rarely happened to me. And in turn I have rarely ran down to the nine and missed it. Usually when this does happen it's on a fairly easy nine ball shot that is just taken for granted. Never take any shot lightly because those are the ones that will come back to haunt ya. Always think ahead at least 3 balls if not more. Stay down and follow through.

Answer 2

I feel it once, when I play with my cousin. Well, I'm a pro so it's too easy to run out an open rack, but when the 8-ball time to pocket, I hit it too hard and Cue Ball ends sticking with the 9-ball, I miss it and my cousin got it. It's so dissapointing, because I think it's my fourth run-out, but I was wrong...

Answer 3

its happened to many times to remember. but i like the opposite question. i gauge my 9-ball game on how many times i screwed up the 9 after running through the entire rack. again lost count of that one too. thats why i gave up pool and started coin collecting
