Vivian Villarreal, the "Texas Tornado", had reason to vent after watching Kelly Fisher's happy accident here.

As illustrated, the 1-ball was banked into the pocket rather than played safe! Plus the cue ball lucked into position for the next ball, the two. Nothing could be further from the defensive shot attempted, as you can see on the previous page, entitled "Kelly Fisher, "Kwikfire", Takes Calculated Aim".

All Fisher could do for Villarreal was smile and nod. And all we can do as pool players to avoid such "happy accidents" in future is insist that rotation pool games including Nine Ball be played more strictly, using the call shot rule.
