Ok the next clip we're going to talk about scoring your points or your balls, to move
forward, to sink eventually, the eight ball and win the game. Alright, scoring occurs
when you make your balls, whether they're either stripes or solids. We know that if
you make a legal shot, you get to score again and continue to keep playing so you might
have a scenario where, I'm stripes and there's two balls and I'm still shooting, I could
so something where I call the twelve ball, in the corner and try to stop the q ball here
because again, as you learn pool, you're going to have to learn positioning and again, this
is a different video, we're just learning about the strategy of the game and trying
to win the game but I would try to make the twelve, the ten and now all my balls are done.
Now I'm in contingent to winning the game. Again, scoring the balls is when you legally
pocket all of your balls, whether they be the stripes or the solids. Don't get scoring
confused with points. Scoring just means that you have all the seven balls, in the stripes
or all the seven balls, in the solids. So, this might be a scenario where I have two
balls left and the eight. I'm trying to get that eight ball, because that's how you win,
you have to make legal shots. Let me just show you the legal shots, I would make here,
on the twelve and on the ten ball, of the stripes. I would say something like "twelve
ball in the corner pocket," which I would make and then I would put myself in a position,
you always want to try to play position, it's another video tape folks but I put myself
in such a position now, that I could play the ten ball, in this corner and make my q
ball come out, for a good positioning shot, for the eight ball and winning the game. So,
I would say ten ball in the corner and you see the q ball comes out to a position, on
the table, where I have a nice shot, an angle shot, for the eight ball in the corner. This
is what you want to do, when pocketing your balls legally and scoring all of your balls,
first, before your opponent does and giving you a good execution shot for winning the
game and shooting the eight ball in, clean.
