Filipino TOI - Fade THIS!

You'll not see many Filipinos use outside English unless ......

This is awesome and exactly like I look at the balls using TOI. I've said many times how important it is to see them as "flat" or two dimensional, instead of round.

That was a great video, and shows how they are so good, so fast in the Philippines.

Some of them are more apparent in their system of favoring the inside of the cue ball, some are more subtle. They have to understand their version of TOI to play well in the conditions of humidity and worn equipment.

You'll not see many Filipinos use outside English unless they're changing an angle off a rail, or curving the cue ball intentionally.......also when they're close to the ball they will use outside and "twist/throw" the ball in. I play the same, exact way.

I will take this guy EVERY day over SVB on this table. I still have some pesos left from the PI that I'm willing to bet. Not many, but enough to buy SVB some dinner and quite a few San Miguels.

Aloha.

I've got an old school carom board that I play with from time to time. I think most people use their hands to play but I like to use the cues. It's fun and a little challenging as only caroms into the pockets count.
 
That same motorcycle makes ALL the 'Filipino' clips... What the hell?


In the 2nd video...One thing is for sure... if I EVER get access to the chalk/tip combination that allow me to cue the a real CB at that extreme.. all I can say is you can 'paint me rich'.

When I was 7 or 8 I got a really small table with a ping pong size cue ball.

Using a cue to play this game would be great training.

When I was 7 or 8 I got a really small table with a ping pong size cue ball. I played for hours and hours and it's really the reason I developed so fast and won a tournament at 12.

Don't tell anyone, this secret should not be made public. ;) 'The Game is the Teacher'

That was awesome! Hell, Efren might not like it playin that dude on his home court:p John B.
 
Interesting, there's no doubt he's hitting every shot with a touch of inside basically looking for a center ball type hit.

Def seems like this game would be good training.
 
That is awesome. The spinning table allows for it to be used in tighter spaces than normal.

Maybe every American boy & girl should get one for Christmas or their Birthday... or just for no reason other than to start building the skills.

I do not mean to start any arguments, but one might be surprised how far off center one can go with a very soft tip that is impregnated with chalk, like an Elk Master along with chalking the 'edges' that have been slightly rounded.

Best to All,
Rick

Notice they don't use any chalk. It's very similar to the game of caroms that uses a plastic circle. Still have one downstairs. Used to be somewhat popular about 50 years ago. http://www.amazon.com/Carrom-2850XXXX-Game-Board-Large/dp/B00003G4JR They still make them from what I see.

My chalk reference was in response to the following. I guess I should have made two posts, so as to make it clear to EVERYONE.

That guy's not so good, he can't even hit a draw shot. :grin-square:

Thanks for the links, it brings me back to playing disc pool at day camp when I was a kid. :thumbup:

I think it is because he has a cheap tip. I bet if you put a $40 Kamui on it he could. :)

LOL.

If you notice closely, there are several shots where he puts "spin" on the disk to "control" it when it hits the side rail.
