2nd Chance Kick

In my 3rd book, I had a game called "Two Or More". It was great practice "Shifting Gears" It's 2 or more because you have to kick the cue ball 2 rails or more. And you had to make a 2-rail FIRST, before you could continue.
I took that game another step, and I call it "Second Chance Kick". In 2 or more a 2-rail is 1 point, 6-rail is 5 points and so on. If you miss a multiple rail shot, you can bet some of your points, that you can make it with your 2nd try.
There IS a rule that comes with the 2nd try. Here's where the players shooting have to be honest, because you can't adjust on the rail, you have to adjust on the cue ball. I have small dots made from billiard cloth that I mark the spot. Sort of like they do in golf. Scoring: if you make it, you get the points, miss you make a subtraction.
I've got "Mulligans" also---Another blog!   Lester
