Bobby said he had to memorize his checkouts, but was noted for been a little unorthodox, but what he says there makes sense!

This always cracks me up. I saw Keith Deller trash talking Bobby a while back on tv. He said bobby george couldnt count at all and lost quite a few games because of it. Deller has worked as a spotter quite a bit and said most players usually make mistakes by counts of ten but that george's were way worse.

Nice clip. Bobby has some good points there.

Thanks for the post Vallyr, I enjoy watching vintage videos.

I can see the logic in the percentage shots that Bobby is suggesting but still feel if you have been hitting the treble 20 then stick with it. I will always go the T20 route purely because I like the Bull 32 if you hit a big 20 plus if we are talking percentage shots 3 singles leaves you on a double. S20, 25 and S17 = 62 so for me it is a better shot than T16 as 3 single going Bobbys way S16=86 S18=68 and S20 leaves 48 so I know which way I prefer and it looks the business when you hit bull, 32. Also T20 leaves the big target of 10 or a 6 for a finish of 36 or 32 which are both my favourite doubles.

Each to there own tho I say so try all combo's as you never know what may suit you if you dont try them.

My only advice though is to go for the shot you decide on with conviction becaudse if you are unsure you will make a right pigs ear of it and from 102 you will leave something rubbish like 79.
