If you want to start 14.1
14.1 is a hard game to keep up on your own.
Which is exactly why there are places where people who have kept at it for years come together.
14.1 is any-ball.
There is no right answer to which ball you choose.
Where you strike the cue ball, how hard, how much english, how far from the object ball, the angle of the cut—there is no end to what you can think about.
Which is exactly why playing at the same table as someone more experienced than you is the surest way forward.
It isn’t only the shots.
How to plan the order of the balls, how to set up a break ball, how to think about risk.
Just watching, you will discover a great deal.
If a study group catches your eye, please, open its door just once.
Surely, that one ball will show you what makes 14.1 so compelling.
