Ultimate Pool Tricks

9-ball and artistic pool are very different. He might have the technique down, but he might be very little experienced in positional play, safety shots, break, the whole strategy of the game. Even though I think that he is a decent player afterall. I would gladly play him anytime.

Haven't you ever heard of trick shot pool? This is the same thing. I have seen all these shots in person. Good stuff.

Get over it.

Dude the name of the song is Out of Control by Hoobastank

He MIGHT NOT BE as good in a real game, since trickshots are really set up the same way each time and all it takes is to be able to do the same thing over and over and over. He might be very inexperienced in the game itself. However, I do not know a single trick shot shooter, whose primary concern is not the actual game. The trickshots are the fun extra thing that you get out of it, but not your main focus.

He obviously has very good technique, follow through, the whole mechanism. I think he would be awesome in a game.

he obviously is verry good at getting the cue ball exactly where he wants it following the exact path and with insane spin, so I think he could prettymuch sink every shot in a normal game and put the cue ball right where he wants it in for the next shot.

Last month i got all 7 balls in a row without letting the other guy have a go, i was so pleased with myself... then i realised that game cost me 50p.

How about you getting off you computer chair for once, going to a pool hall, and seeing for yourself that all these shots are possible?

Why go CG when these are all variations of pretty standard trick shots. Anyone can make a ball curve, jump a ball, etc. Doing it with accuracy and finesse - well that's where the inborn talent + hours of practice come in.

theres thousands of people who can do these things, so it shouldn't be too hard for you to find someone to watch in real life for proof.

You have to have a good, flexible cue stick, rather hard cue tip, and level table. Than you have to practice you follow through (as you actually have to follow through the ball to be able to apply the spin), pace, and power. Say ten hours a week for a year...

Most of the shots he did are masse shots, an extreme type of swerve shot, where you'd hit the ball from the near top side of the cueball with either a pure running side, or check side, or combining with a screw shot. By doing that, it takes awhile before the spin overcomes the forward momentum of the cueball, hence the curving of the cueball. At break-even between the 2, that's when it pauses for a split-second, which explains why the pause and afterwards, a sudden change of direction.

It is not a fake. The balls are stopping and then skyrocketing in the other direction because they are spinning. Since the table cloth is smooth, even a ball spinning in one direction, could for a second or two just "slide" over the top of the table, and when the spin finally "catches" the ball, it changes its direction.

Just try it with your hand, throw a ball on a table with a spin and you will see that it takes a bit of time before the spin takes over.

Just try it, and the you will be REALLY appreciative of the skill.

Everyone does not have a professional crew available when they are shooting home videos, so they have to use their shi*ty little hand cameras or mobile phones.

How come you do not have something better?

...but you are mistaken. All these shots are possible on a regular table, without any magnetism, twisted playing surface or video editing. I could do some of them as well. All it takes is practice.

Do you assume, that figure skating is a video fake, since you cannot do any of that? Come on...

you must not play much pool. Some people are just amazing at pool. I went up against a 12 year old kid (son of a very good player), and he ran the table on me every time (meaning he never missed anything ever). I had the kid boxed in with what I thought was an impossible defensive shot, and the kid pulled off a curve + 2 rails shot that belonged in that video. Amazing.

Honestly, even if I practiced 12 hours a day for 10 years, I don't think I'd be able to match the natural gift some rare people have for pool. I'll settle for being better than most.

give credit when it's due and stop putting down other people's work! What you can't do doesn't mean cannot be done and having the ball move forward and then spinning back is something very common in pool. All you need is to hit it at the right angle to impart the backspin and the initial push will cause the ball to skid forward before the spin bites and move the ball back.

Even the world trickshot champion has a wife. How about not being such a stuck-up?

I would have said a nicer pool table.

hahah ive seen pooltrick competitions and i have never seen some of that stuff

You are very cruel person! why would you wish such burden to a girl? lol
