Is there a knack to bloody falls,  or do you just need a strong left arm? I never seem  to be able  to weight the high foot, but I can't generate any oomph to start the move either and  I've lost track of the number of sessions I've spent on it.

If you're not a midget you can get whatever the highest pair of decent pockets is, NOT crossed hands, left foot on something decent (low break?) and then go big with left hand to top where there's a slight runnel.

I think it's easy to get sucked into this sort of caper:



When actually you can just do this:

Ta. I'm not a midget but everyone I've tried the problem with is, and for some reason I decided that going off the pockets to the top wasn't cricket. I'll take my blinkers off and try again.

I know what you mean. These clever dicks with their simple sequences. Seems a crime not to use that hold with the left hand.

Did this yesterday. Instead of bowling up left had to the runnel, which I couldn't get without some savage torque pulling me off, I slapped left hand to the slopey top as far left as possible, then slapped right hand into the sloper at the apex of the prow from a slight toe-hook. Slapping far left meant there was something in opposition for me to pull on and squeeze when I caught the right sloper. Great problem!
