wincardona said:What a shot. He elevated to apply inside english on the cue ball and kicked to hit the 4 ball first.After hitting the 4 ball the cue ball caromed into the 9 ball and the inside english with draw aided him to position the cue ball where it ended up. Now that was a pool shot.

What a great shot ! I hope the Illiterati liked it.wincardona said:Shots like this one are very difficult to execute, but if you familiarize yourself with this type of a shot you may just need it to escape a trap that you couldn't otherwise. This was a special shot executed by a special player.

I guess that Reyes has another chance to put Shannon on the 1 ball again. I like that shot from this position, providing Reyes can hit the cue ball low from this position. I'm guessing he'll shoot off the 6 ball to accomplish that. He shoots shots like that one exceptionally well.NH Steve said:This is how the balls ended up, so in this position it is Efren's shot.
Miller, if the 1 ball is frozen to the bottom rail your shot risks a double kiss and you would lose control of both balls.Miller said:shot: about 1 to 1-1/2 tip(s) left, thin cut on the 1

rationale: (1) it's an easy shot. (2) move a dangerous ball to the other side of the table while putting 2 - 3 other balls in play. (3) left daulton a tough chance bank or carom while accomplishing something.

Vapros, Don't get yourself mixed up. When it comes to the English language you're a member of the Illuminati.vapros said:Yeah, Rod, I thought it was fabulous and stupendous.

The reason he elevated was to apply draw to the cue ball to assure himself that he wouldn't lose control of the cue ball.
After contacting the balls the draw will take and the cue ball will end up near the foot rail.
Sometimes using draw on a kick it's easier to feel the action on the cue ball, in terms of accuracy. On this particular kick it was hard for Shannon to go wrong, providing he didn't hit the pink ball thickly. Even if he would of hit the 9 ball first the draw would of than pocketed the 4 ball and he would of cleared the pocket without mishap.

That's a very good shot, but in this situation it's not as good as it is normally, because of the target being smaller than it normally is. You usually shoot to go into a larger stack, if you notice that the stack is not of normal size, understanding that, your margin for error is reduced and this shot then has to be struck just about perfectly. But if your confident you can do it, go for it.petie said:I like this shot. Its a lot like the one Rod pulled on me a few threads ago and I plan to use it every time I get in a similar situation.

He let the guy out iff the trap too start with. And nowe he is going too shoot another trick shot.
I thought Mike macy is the best trick shot shooter?
All you have too do is hit the ball thin on the left side and go two railrs up the table and he is in big trouble.
You dont need too shoot any trick shots. Stick too shooting simple smart shots. Dont look too do anything fancy. Its hard enough as it is shooting the correct shots.
Not going into trick shots and confusing people. Everybody on this site is not a expert.Ckeep the game simple and the basick good percentage shots.
Dont look too fly before you can jump. Execution mistakes are made by shooting shots that are hard too controle.
Shooting simple and correct shots will get the money.
Miller said:ouch and ok.
i was thinking that it was actually a pretty simple thin hit shot. i do appreciate your feedback.
what ball are you going off of to get 2 rails up table?
