Dragging this thread back up - did anyone prove that the > 90° shot could be done with inside english? Did mr3cushion ever back up his claims?

The winner/s will be selected tonight!

that shaft or one much so called better will be 300 in a short time frame.
sooner or later they will be made for less than 100.
but the name brands will still be high for those that think a name on something means its worth more.

According to a story, there was a guy who only shot the following and only for a lot of money. It was a "half-hour" shot...

Freeze the object ball a diamond from the corner pocket on the end rail. Place the cue ball in a 1-diamond square by the diagonally opposite corner pocket. Cut the object ball along the short rail three diamonds to the pocket. The cue ball is not allowed to contact any side rails before the object ball.

According to the story, the bet was high enough that the shooter could pay for a new cloth.

While we're at it, here's a Boston Shorty prop bet that I heard about: from behind the line, shoot a spot shot into the side pocket. The cue ball does not hit a cushion before the object ball. I think Venom could do this in less than an hour. Wax is your friend.

Do you think Shaun shot it with center ball? I couldn't tell.

It looks to me like a center ball cut.

Yeah, we used to shoot it with the CB on top of the nameplate, on the wood rail (not on the cloth). And I "think" the OB was over further, 1 diamond away from the opposite corner pocket. Take 30 attempts and walk away with the dough. I might be mis-remembering the positions slightly. It was a gimme against an unsuspecting banger. And of course, the first prop bets would be much simpler angles.

In the 60's at Bensinger's in Chicago, as in many famous PR's we had a Brunswick Medalist 6'x12' Snooker table.

The O'Shea Brothers had 4 out of 5 that were Golden Glove Champs, and all were Chicago Firefighters!

A couple of them, Mike & Rory played pool a little, not by any means good players!

Rory had one unique shot He could Really make 1 out of 3, usually started out with 20 tries!

He placed the CB on a piece of chalk on the nameplate on the end rail, the OB frozen on the other short rail, when He won those Bets, He would place the OB tougher 1 diamond 'Backwards' to the shot!

He trapped a lot of people
