I think it would be great if there was a seperate practice table for Straight, where it acted the same as in the game... eg. the re-rack happens when there is one ball left, and the white stays in place. This would enable you to practice all elements of the game, and not just potting and safety which you can do on any table. Ideas?

I would love this, would help when learning to smash the pack in order to find where to pot, I have a good idea where to hit it most times but would be good fun.

yeah i hate having to rerack after potting 15 balls, this could open up new challenges, how much % you can get in 50 pots etc, highest practice run etc.

I just thought its a major part of the game being able to break the pack and land on a pot, and although you can practice it to a certain extent its just not the same as flowing into it like in the game. Glad you feel the same, hope it may be a possible...

I made this thread ages ago, and it got a pretty good response, still wondering why it hasn't been done...

i think this is a really good idea its a key part of straight that needs to be learned setting up the last ball to smash the pack . I bet if this was implemented the straight runs will go higher and higher perfect condisions then to implement the option to play up to a higher score in a game as it is ment to be played at least 75 to 100 points or something

please

When I came to the re-rack and the cue ball was where the pack was re-racked I had no option to place the cue ball behind the line to carry on - not sure if thats just me or a fault.

Thanks - will look into that.

EDIT: Yes, this will currently fail if white is in this area at game end. This will be fixed next patch. In addition runs of 5 or over will be displayed in your chat window at run end.

Fabulous to have str8 practice table Nick - TY

I notice if you pot twice in one shot it doesnt reset run to zero - can this patch be incorporated into next update?

Thanks

Ok - it did reset to zero on second occasion - not sure what happened first time - maybe cos I potted 3 balls but all is well now.....
