The Zone

“Rack’em up,” “na, not my thing I’m about the game”, “ it’s chess, not checkers.” Top spin break smack, ball spinning through the rack, two disappear. Soft bottom right, snap gliding left, kissing the right curve just a touch. Step back, walk the table, stroke it soft popping it off the rail, watching, judging, surmising. Back up, right flick with following bottom for a slow roll. Off two rails, perfect position, little draw back. Reverse bank on the eight for emphasis. Now that’s what I’m talking about, “ nice game”, “Next!”
