Some of the cueballs they use will fit just right in my cannon and that's where they belong. Ballbangers love the miniature tables with 6" pockets and they still want a spot.

What brand are these "miniature tables with 6" pockets", I am unfamiliar with them.

Nice.

Wouldn't be horrible to set up balls before each shot, but ..

With his US open 9 ball title, his list of regional tournament wins and now this I think he has earned hall of fame consideration.

THIS is a PUSH shot. From Corey vs Schmidt TAR interview.

I bought a set of Vanadiums a few months ago. Nice set, that I use on a regular basis. These new ones look very nice also, but I'll probably save my $100, as I don't need them, and I have plenty of other things to spend money on, right now.

He shows an actual push with the two frozen balls, but I think he should have first shown a push with a single cue ball to teach people what an actual push means.

I think a LOT of people are confusing push and double hit. Push is when you bring the tip to the cb, leave it there for a second, and then super slowly push them both forward and the tip stays on the ball. Used in prop shots and trick shots, and explicitly banned from the game. A banger would never shoot a push shot in a game because it takes skill to do it, knowledge of how to do it, and knowledge of what it even is. Whereas a banger shoots double hits all the time.

Corey Deuel has a fun push shot in a TAR interview with John Schmidt from their all-around match 15 or so years ago.

I believe some of the slow play is gamesmanship, keeping opponent seated as long as possible. I've seen many slow, deliberate players play fast while practicing and they play just as well.

Ornamental.

If they are in the $100 range, they are going to be the new go to ball set for home. I'll probably buy a set just to have and I don't need them.

Right there with you.
